BIBLICAL VIEWS OF THE HUMAN
BEING
The book of Genesis, Chapter 1 Verse
26 to 27
“ God made man and woman in his own
image in likeness of ourselves and let them
be master of the fish of the sea, the birds, the
heaven, the earth , all the wild beast and all
the reptiles that crawl upon the earth”
The Supreme Being entrusted the human
person to take care of the creatures on
earth and to be aware of the possibilities,
challenges, and difficulties he/she will
encounter in his/her life.
Grace C. Agbuya (1997)
“He (the human person) is designed by God
to exercise dominion over other creature in
his everyday use freedom, search of
happiness, and openness to the world around
him. And what makes him human is his being
a true person, which include the special gifts
and talents of thinking, loving, longing for
happiness, and making decisions. The human
nature was patterned on the image of God.”
CLASSICAL GREEK VIEWS OF THE
HUMAN BEING
Classical Greek define the human person as
a “rational animal”
 As an animal, vegetative sensory and
rational elements are integrated within
him/her being., thus he/she is a
material ( body) and spiritual being
( soul)
 As a vegetative creature, the human
person needs to have food, to develop
and so reproduce, as sentient being
he/she needs sensory perceptions to
gain knowledge and as a rational
animal, he/she needs the power of
thought, reason, and cognition.
Topic #1: Introduction to the National Service Training Program (NSTP)
Topic #2: The Human Person
 A human person is capable of
knowing, loving, and believing, which
leads him/she to be fully aware of his
her humanity.

PHILOSOPHY OF THE HUMAN BEING
DIFFERENT IDEOLOGICAL VIEWS OF
HUMAN PERSON
Regelio B. Maguigad (2006)
Philosophy of the human being the different
ideology views of a human person:
1. Conservatism – The conservative
view is not entirely positive and
definitely non egalitarian.
2. Liberalism – Has a more egalitarian
view of human nature.
3. Socialism – Human beings readily
engage in cooperative social activities
when given opportunity. In socialism,
every individual has an equal share of

distribution, and exchange of
resources. Karl Marx views humans as
social animals.
