1.What are the differences between the following terms? (Man,

Person, Human Nature)
Man - is a fully grown adult human being. A male human is referred to as a
boy before reaching adulthood.
Person - a human who is considered as an individual. A person (plural
people or persons) is a living entity with specific capacities or
characteristics, such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-
consciousness, and inclusion in a culturally defined type of social
interactions, such as kinship, property ownership, or legal obligation.
Human Nature - is a term that refers to the basic inclinations and qualities
that humans are thought to possess naturally, such as ways of thinking,
feeling, and acting. The term is frequently used to describe the essence of
humanity or what it means to be human.

2. Limitations of Human Person as an Embodied Spirit (Faciticity,

Spatial-temporal Being, The Body as Intermediary)
Human existence is embodied existence.
Facticity - refers to the things that have already been given to us in our
lives. It's everything that surrounds us right now: our surroundings, our
language, our past decisions, our past and present relationships, and even
our impending mortality.
Spatial-temporal Being - our most evident constraint as temporal beings is
our finitude, or finite quality or state. Our body prevents us from being in
two or more places at the same time. We are constrained by both space
(spatial) and time (temporal).
The Body as Intermediary - it entails acting as a mediator. Our bodies act
as a bridge between us and the outside world. Our bodies limit our
perception of the world to what we can see with our eyes. This places
restrictions on communication and expression.
