RECALL: What are the three theories on the nature of the human person?
Intelligence is not the same as consciousness.
Consciousness - is the state or quality of awareness, or, of being aware of an external object or something
within oneself.
Embodiment - refers to the biological and physical presence of our bodies, which are a necessary precondition
for subjectivity, emotion, language, thought and social interaction
Transcendence - is the ability to change, be dynamic, and continually redefining one’s self which works with our
facticity to create change.
QUESTION: How can we transcend our limitations?
1. Facticity
At times we use our facticity as an excuse for our difficulties and failures.
2. Spatial-temporal Beings
We are more concerned with the past and/or future that is why we never appreciate the present.
We cannot be at the place where we want to be at an instant.
3. The Body as Intermediary
Having a body may prevent us from disclosing what we really want to express.
