Review of Man’s
Dignity

What is the basis of Man’s Dignity?

What are the 2 aspects (faculties) of man that makes him RATIONAL?

a. I _ _ _ _ _ E _ _

b. W _ _ _

Because man is a rational being, it also follows that he is a S _ _ _ _ _ _Being.

In the beginning...
God said "it is not good for
man to be alone, I will make
him a companion"
It is inherent for man to have someone with
him. Eve was created to be the companion of
Adam.
“Man is by nature a social
animal; an individual who is
unsocial naturally and not
accidentally is either beneath
our notice or more than
human". -Aristotle
“Society is something that precedes the
individual. Anyone who either cannot
lead the common life or is so
self-sufficient as not to need to, and
therefore does not partake of society, is
either a beast or a god."
Aristotle, Politics

It is an
understatement to
say that the
coronavirus outbreak
has changed life as
we knew it.

Nothing is the
same…
THE MOST IMPORTANT
THING THAT WILL COME OUT
OF THIS CRISIS IS OUR
INCREASED ABILITY TO FEEL
EMPATHY AND COMPASSION
–AND TO ACT UPON IT.
“Let us try, if we can, to make the best use
of this time: let us be generous. Let us
help those in need in our neighborhood.

Let us look out for the loneliest people,

perhaps by telephone or social networks.
Let us pray to the Lord for those who are
in difficulty (in Italy) and in the world.”

Despite the isolation imposed by social

distancing measures, “thought and spirit
can go far with the creativity of love”

- Pope Francis
