INTRODUCTION TO PHILOSOPHY CHAPTER 3: THE HUMAN PERSON AS AN EMBODIED SPIRIT HUMAN PERSON Philosophy considers the human person as a physical being, as knower, as responsible agent, as a person in relation to other persons, to society, to God, and to the end, or purpose of human life. TRANSCENDENCE • • • • Existence or experience beyond the normal or physical level. Extraordinary or beyond human experience. Beyond the range of usual perception. Talking to God is an example of a transcendent experience. EMBODIED SPIRIT Embodied spirit means that the body is not separate from the soul, just as the soul is not separate from the body. IN CATHOLICISM SOUL Soul refers to your conscious and the moral and thinking part of you. Your soul is immortal and is the part that will go to hell, purgatory or heaven. SPIRIT First refers to the Holy Spirit, the third part of the Trinity. It is the force of God that has come down into each of us. As one develops in the faith, he is said to be growing spiritually.
