Philosophy of the Human Person
[2023-07-18 13:25:04]
At the heart of today's deepest and unsustainable debate is the problem of human nature and dignity. What does it mean to be a person? How will we deal with others and respect our own personality? What is the meaning of body and sex? Do freedom obey obedience or dignity and dependence? This course covers these basic questions. This is the most basic thing we offer.
It is designed for individual wealth, not academic unit. I have neither an exam nor a homework. Anyone who is interested and thinks that they do not mind can benefit from it. We tried to leave much space for questions and discussions.
Regarding the content, the course is consciously in line with long-term philosophy (ie Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, and Aquinas), but from recent Christian thoughters (Newman, Pie, Wodzilla, Greece etc). Deerbrand, Crosby) has excellent adaptability to special concerns and problems of contemporary people.
The course will be held from 8: 00-9: 30 at the West Chester's home. Each lecture is recorded online, and it will be made public to people who can not participate directly after 1 to 2 days. Registered students can listen to these lectures at a convenient time and discuss them online. (Of course, I can also get it by e-mail.)
I do not need to read the course, but if you want to dig deeper, I suggest you start with one of the following.
John F. Crosby, human self. Since this course is highly dependent on this book, reading this book increases the proficiency of most of the material covered and deepens it.
C. S. Lewis, abolish human beings. A very pleasant interpretation that the essence of objective value and it is important for human prosperity
Josef Pieper, Basics of Leisure Culture In particular, the second half of this book, the relationship between internal and transcendence is very good about "Philosophical Law".
Carol / Wodzilla, love and responsibility. The main point of this book is very harmonious with Crosby's self. I especially recommend chapter 3 on chastity, shame and moderation.
Dietrich von Hilde brand, heart. In this book, Von Hilde brand makes an important contribution to the understanding of this person by returning "emotion" (a place where emotional living exists) to a legal position besides intellect and will, It is.
On the other hand, human philosophy takes the same objective as research, humanity, and his inner and social world. However, the program is quite different from the Geisteswissenschaften program, as it follows a general philosophical approach (testing of thought, analysis and classification, a priori reasoning, and reduction of absurdity, contemplation, and insight). In addition, the output of human philosophy is different from the output of Geisteswissenschaften, in a sense it is primarily descriptive and tells why humans are like this or normative. Presented in the internal and social world
Philosophy allows humans to change some basic beliefs. Most of what we do, even if we explain it, is based on our basic beliefs. Therefore, the work of philosophy is to question the beliefs contradictory to human reasons. The conviction convicted before "reasonable result" must be abandoned. Therefore, philosophy helps shape and improve our mental abilities.

Given that human philosophy and Geisteswissenschaften are fundamentally similar, they have the same subject of exploration; they differ with respect to the other two fundamental aspects, procedures and outputs. While Geisteswissenschaften aims to acquire descriptive knowledge using empirical and quantitative methods for the research of that subject, human philosophy uses theory and reflex method to explain explanatory and normative knowledge I aim to master. These two differences are ultimately factors that make human philosophy different from Geisteswissenschaften.
