 Summary of the module
_____________________________________________________

The being of man is the continuous search for truth and meaning in life. One can
find the truth but did not achieve its full meaning while some able to find the meaning
but does not end with the truth. For example, a sick man might able to know the truth
behind his illness but not able to discover why that simple truth exist. This continuous
search for truth allows one to discover potentialities that are inherent in him in which he
is born with it and in seeking, he makes himself “free” as he opens himself in many
possibilities of failure, success, truth pain and many more.

Human beings are not necessarily human. First of all, it takes time and effort for a
human being to grow up to the point where his own nature has reached full realization.
When born, one acts like a little animal that is not yet being fully human. It will take
many years of education by his family and the society, many efforts and struggles on his
own part before the fullness of humanity can be achieved.

Secondly, an individual human being might be possible to not reach its full
development at all. Simply saying, That man is lacks or fails to posses basic qualities
which are required for full humanness. For example, is whenever we use words such as
“inhuman” to describe certain qualities they have like cruel, insensitive to others,
irrational or robot-like in their lives and dealing with other persons.

Every living organisms grow to a state of complete or full development. Every

acacia tree is necessarily an acacia tree and every dog is necessarily a dog, from the
moment of their first creation up to the complete state of their development they truly
represent their species. It is strange that the human life differs from that of a tree and a
dog, because the fullness of humanity can not only take a great deal of time to reach but
often not reached at all.

The Greeks understood man as a being composed of many natural potentialities,

many possibilities for growth in which they sensed nature as a guide for all man to
develop those potentialities in order to reach a state of fullness or excellence in which a
man is able to live a life as a completely developed human being.

First of all, human beings have physical potentialities in which they can develop
their bodies and bodily skills like sports or practical skills like learning to drive, type and
many more. Secondly, they have many mental abilities that can be developed to expand
their capacities to imagine and dream of new possibilities. Thirdly, they can develop
communication skills like learning how to read, write and talk, so that they can be able to
express their ideas clearly and forcefully. Fourthly, they can develop their social skills in
which they can play their roles and make significant contributions to society.

The Greeks conceived of nature to be the guide and the inspiration for the
development of all of human possibilities in which their development points toward an
ideal , the fullness of human life, a life of excellence. This Greek ideal was also meant to
be realized on a social level. A human community can achieve its full development
wherein it would include many elements such as peace, economic prosperity, the rule of
law, active community interaction as well as the full development of education and the
arts.
