THE SCOPE OF UTS

A.THEORIES OF THEORIST ABOUT SELF

ST.AGUSTINE: THE SELF HAS AN IMMORTAL SOUL

-A soul can’t live in this world without a body for it is considered as a unity of body and self. It is an
important element of man which governs and defines himself. We all know that we are created in the
image and likeness of God for we are geared towards the good.

ARISTOTLE: THE SOUL IS THE ESSENSE OF THE SELF

-For him, the body and soul are not two separate elements but is one thing. The soul is the essence of
the self but it can’t exist without the body.

PLATO: THE SELF IS AN IMMORTAL SOUL

-There are three part soul which are the following: Reason, physical appetite, and spirit or passion.
These three basically allow man to live in accordance to his nature, then he is giving justice in his
existence therefore everyone in this world has a purpose for each one of us should do our part. Always
remember that good is above God. A task is a task. No matter what happens, you should meet the
deadlines that are given to you. Practice yourself in doing what you can do now for time runs so fast
wherein you won’t notice it and this will definitely help you in your future work.

JOHN LOCKE: THE SELF IS CONCIOUSNESS

-For Locke, the essence of the self is its conscious awareness of itself as a thinking, reasoning, reflecting
identity. But this in no way means that this self is necessarily embedded in a single substance or soul—it
might very well take up residence in any number of substances or souls.

RENE DESCRATES: I THINK THEREFORE I AM

-For Rene Descartes suggests that there are two dimensions of the self: the self as a thinkingentity and
the self as a physical body. He also emphasized on the saying :I think therefore I am” which means that a
rational thinking person and being self conscious is the proof that there is a self.

IMMANUEL KANT: WE CONSTRUCT THE SELF

-For Immanuel Kant, the people are the ones to create their own self. The self constructsits own reality
which actively produces a world that is predictable to him/her.

GILBERT RYLE: THE SELF IS THE WAY PEOPLE HAVE

-Gilbert Ryle believes the self is best understood as a pattern of behavior, the tendency or dispostion of
a person to behave in a certain way in certain circumstances.

SOCRATES: LIFE IS NOT WORTH LIVING

-Through this statement, Socrates means that an unexamined human life is deprived of the meaning and
purpose of existence. To become fully human means to use our highly developed faculty of thought to
raise our existence above that of mere beasts. For if we don’t think, we are no more than animals,
simply eating, sleeping, working and procreating.

B.UNPACKING THE SELF

 PHYSICAL SELF
-Physical Self refers to the body, this marvelous container and complex, finely tuned, machine
with which we interface with our environment and fellow beings. The Physical Self is the
concrete dimension, the tangible aspect of the person that can be directly observed and
examined.
 SEXUAL SELF
-Sexual self-concept refers to the totality of oneself as a sexual being, including positive and
negative concepts and feelings.
 MATERIAL AND SELF ECONOMICS
-The material self consists of things that belong to a person or entities that a person belongs to.
Thus, things like the body, family, clothes, money, and such make up the material self.
 SPIRITUAL SELF
-It comprise activities that we engage in to find and nature a sense of connection to a higher
power and meaning for our lives.
 POLITICAL SELF
-Political self is how one’s political views and values form in the course of developing political
consciousness, as a natural extension of psychology and life experience.
 DIGITAL SELF
-The digital self is the persona you use when you’re online. Some people maintain one or more
online identifies that are distinct from their “real world” selves; others have a single online self
that’s more or less the same as the one they inhabit in the real world.

C.MANAGING AND CARING FOR THE SELF

 Self-Care can be most any activity that you deliberately undertake to care for your mental,
physical and emotional health (Michael, 2018). Self Care can take different forms for different
people.
