 Man and His Body
 As being with human (biological) body, an alive human person is necessarily
undergoing biological processes.
 A human person, being part of nature’s physical order, naturally develops weight,
size, shape, color and other biological traits as determined or affected by his genes
and the environment.
 We are physical beings that occupy space, have mass, move through time, and are
subject to gravitational laws.
 Moreover, our biological or physical bodies are also in a constant change as they
grow, mature, and develop.
 With the passage of time, they also weaken, become sick, deteriorate, and perish.
Our bodies also wear out as their energy is not limitless.
 Our biological or physical body also makes us subject to the “law of death,”
which is a sure form of limitation.
 LIMITATIONS
 things that we humans don’t possess or capable of
doing
 a limiting condition or rule; restrictive weakness;
lack of capacity; inability or handicap.

limits?
What is TRANSCENDENCE?
the act of surpassing or going beyond the body’s physical
limits
means overcoming oneself or being in control even if the
body reminds us of certain tendencies
the essence of transcendence is to acknowledge our
limitations, identify possibilities for development, and
change ourselves for the better.
THE HUMAN PERSON IS AN EMBODIED SPIRIT

 Aristotle – The unity of the body and the soul.

 “I am my body but at the same time I am more than
my body.”
 An embodied spirit is also a meaningful whole, a human person whose
life has meaning.
 Free will - enables us to do actions whenever we want to and
makes self-determination possible.
 Morality- refers to the goodness or badness of an act.
 Dignity - refers to the innate right to be valued and respected.
