Lesson 3 Philosophy

The document discusses the human person as an embodied spirit with limitations and possibilities for transcendence. It begins with learning objectives about recognizing one's own limitations and potentials. It then discusses the human person as having awareness, self-determination, and ability to interact. The human body can impose limits but also enables potentials for transcending these limits, such as through developing a positive outlook. While transcendence may not occur for all, all people have the innate capacity for it.

possibilities for transcendence:

- Does not come at a specified period
- Varies across all people
- May coincide with physical
limitations of the body
- Developing a positive outlook in life
- Working towards reaching a goal
- Learning from experience
• POSSIBILITIES FOR
TRANSCENDENCE

It is also important to know that transcendence may be


applied to present worries by living in the present. This
means that life is lived from moment to moment in a
carefree and cheerful manner where concerns for stress
are reserved for the future, and regrets or guilt feelings
are kept in the past
• THE HUMAN BODY IN
IMPOSING LIMITS AND
POSSIBILITIES
From a biological and physical standpoint, it
can be recognized that the human body,
although it can perform many functions, also
has limitations. Limits in the environment,
demographics, and society may also hinder a
person from reaching transcendence.
BODILY
LIMITATIONS
- Mental and emotional disorders (e.g.
anxiety, intellectual disability)

deafness)

hypertension, cough)
- Failures and experiences (e.g.
failing a subject)

TIPS
The terms “transcendent” and “transcendental “
should not be used interchangeably. According
to Immanuel Kant, “transcendent” is a term used
to refer God, while “transcendental “ refers to all
other matter.

While transcendence may not occur for


everyone, all people have the capacity to
experience it regardless of any socio
demographic, biological, or personal.
