philosophy of man... would someone please explain the following:?

Question

"man is not a body and belly alone but also soul and mind. the former cannot live without bread; the latter is fed not by bread but by imperishable manna of truth and wisdom supplied by education. nor is man brain and brawn alone, nor hand and heart alon, nor sense and sex alone, he is the whole man being with all its natural powers and resources and potentialities awaiting full human development through Education."

Answer 1

There are many facets to a man, each needing a different source of nourishment, without which the man would not be complete.We must nourish the body with food, the mind with education, knowledge, the soul with love and faith, the heart with love and physical desire with sex. All important for a man to be complete.

Answer 2

I think this statement basically recognizes that the body, mind, soul and brain are all parts of a cohesive unit and that as a WHOLE comprise the entirety of the human being. Take away a given part and you are left with either an energy form or an animal.

Answer 3

This is the idea of education for the whole person. (We should include girls and women, also.)

Most schools worry mostly about teaching facts and skills mostly to do with thinking and writing. There are many types of intelligence. A basketball player or a futbol player knows a lot about movement and space.

Each subject in educations develops distinct capabilities. Math and languages teach you to think broadly and to analyze, for example. History teaches you to look at facts and to understand opinions, and so on.

A musician knows about sound and harmony.

This quote also mentions spiritual needs like faith or perhaps love and harmony.

It also mentions much more: physical strength, sex, wisdom, truth, food, etc.

Answer 4

humankind has been asking and answering questions for a long time. that is where truth and wisdom comes from. education is the way to find the answers that that have already been found so you don't have to start from scratch. education is the foundation of human developement on which we can build upon and eventually find all the answers we want or need. ftc

Answer 5

From the beginning of time man has had the need to explain that very question ,There is no concrete answer , many theories , all debatable and so forth and so on, Philosophy is so great to read
Good Luck in your endeavor education is the tool not the answer

Answer 6

many of the huge-unfold philosophical structures are not "accompanied" by using all and sundry, they are utilized to particular problems. even however, I adhere to the philosophy of Wittgenstein because of the fact it places the emphasis on examining uncomplicated language. for my section, maximum confusions in on an huge-unfold basis existence upward push up because of the fact of a misuse of language and words. occasion: A accuses B of 'libel' because of the fact the different individual wrote him a foul notice. no longer so. To be 'libel' the accusation has to have been made to a minimum of another third celebration, C

Answer 7

Humanity as a whole is not just another pretty face, body, or what they think is right.
Educate a human and they can fin for themselves.
Feed a human and they will depend on you for life.

Answer 8

The person who wrote this has their interpretation, which will indeed be different from everybody elses.

--My understanding is that of a Biblcal nature.

First please let me reference what there is of the soul besides it being the actual person, being, animal, fish, & bird etc. itself-- any type of breather with lungs or gills or similar, not plants--as Genesis 1, 2 shows--Note the commentary:

*** it-2 pp. 1005-1006 Soul ***

Soul—A Living Creature. As stated, man “came to be a living soul”; hence man was a soul, he did not have a soul as something immaterial, invisible, and intangible residing inside him. The apostle Paul shows that the Christian teaching did not differ from the earlier Hebrew teaching, for he quotes Genesis 2:7 in saying: “It is even so written: ‘The first man Adam became a living soul [psy·khen´ zo´san].’ . . . The first man is out of the earth and made of dust.”—1Co 15:45-47.

The Genesis account shows that a living soul results from the combination of the earthly body with the breath of life. The expression “breath of the force of life [literally, breath of the spirit, or active force (ru´ach), of life]” (Ge 7:22) indicates that it is by breathing air (with its oxygen) that the life-force, or “spirit,” in all creatures, man and animals, is sustained. This life-force is found in every cell of the creature’s body, as is discussed under LIFE; SPIRIT....
..........SERVING WITH ONES WHOLE SOUL. The “soul” basically means the entire person, as has been shown. Yet certain texts exhort us to seek for, love, and serve God with ‘all our heart and all our soul’ (De 4:29; 11:13, 18), while Deuteronomy 6:5 says: “You must love Jehovah your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your vital force.” Jesus said it was necessary to serve with one’s whole soul and strength and, additionally, “with your whole mind.” (Mr 12:30; Lu 10:27) The question arises as to why these other things are mentioned with the soul, since it embraces them all. To illustrate the probable meaning: A person might sell himself (his soul) into slavery to another, thereby becoming the possession of his owner and master. Yet he might not serve his master wholeheartedly, with full motivation and desire to please him, and thus he might not use his full strength or his full mental capacity to advance his master’s interests. (Compare Eph 6:5; Col 3:22.) Hence these other facets are evidently mentioned to focus attention on them so that we do not fail to remember and consider them in our service to God, to whom we belong, and to his Son, whose life was the ransom price that bought us. “Whole-souled” service to God involves the entire person, no bodily part, function, capacity, or desire being left out.—Compare Mt 5:28-30; Lu 21:34-36; Eph 6:6-9; Php 3:19; Col 3:23, 24.

Soul and Spirit Are Distinct. The “spirit” (Heb., ru´ach; Gr., pneu´ma) should not be confused with the “soul” (Heb., ne´phesh; Gr., psy·khe´), for they refer to different things. Thus, Hebrews 4:12 speaks of the Word of God as ‘piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, and of joints and their marrow.’ (Compare also Php 1:27; 1Th 5:23.) As has been shown, the soul (ne´phesh; psy·khe´) is the creature itself. The spirit (ru´ach; pneu´ma) generally refers to the life-force of the living creature or soul, though the original-language terms may also have other meanings.....

--So the author of this quote unknowingly refers to many parts making up ones very being or soul, which encompasses: heart , mind, strength etc.

--OTHER ASPECTS OF SOUL:

DESIRE. At times the word ne´phesh is used to express the desire of the individual, one that fills him and then occupies him in achieving its goal. Proverbs 13:2, for example, says of those dealing treacherously that ‘their very soul is violence,’ that is, that they are ‘all out’ for violence, in effect, become violence personified. (Compare Ge 34:3, ftn; Ps 27:12; 35:25; 41:2.) Israel’s false shepherds are called “dogs strong in soul[ful desire],” who have known no satisfaction.—Isa 56:11, 12; compare Pr 23:1-3; Hab 2:5.

--What "Education" this individual was talking about, I know not--but here is the highest level of education that no one should be without:

*** w81 10/1 p. 3 The Bible—Can We Believe It Today? ***

“I SPEAK as a man of the world to men of the world; and I say to you, Search the Scriptures! The Bible is the book of all others, to be read at all ages.” These words of American president John Quincy Adams illustrate the way people once viewed the Bible—with deep respect.

John Quincy Adams wrote: “It is of all books in the world, that which contributes most to make men good, wise, and happy.”—Letters of John Quincy Adams to His Son, 1849, p. 9.

*** it-1 p. 312 Bible ***

As the famous educator William Lyon Phelps once said: “I believe a knowledge of the Bible without a college course is more valuable than a college course without a Bible.” (The New Dictionary of Thoughts, p. 46)

Answer 9

We are all more than the sum of our parts.
