Man is the general term commonly used to refer to the entire human race.
The term, Human on the other hand, refers to man as a species- Homo
sapiens or modern human beings.
St. Thomas, the Philosopher who believed that the human person’s nature as
an embodied spirit enables us to engage in meaningful experiences and
makes transcendence possible. He was also regarded of Christianizing the
philosophy of Aristotle
Factors that impose limits include the body, environment, demographics, and
society and hinders a person from reaching transcendence.
