Every philosophical and theological error of modernity culminates in a misunderstanding of who the human person is, how he is made, and what he is made for.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>In this third volume of&nbsp;<em>The Foundations of Wisdom</em>,<em>&nbsp;</em>understand how the Church explains that the human person is &ldquo;fearfully and wonderfully made.&rdquo;&nbsp;Deepen your understanding of our very selves, learning how God made us to come to know Him and see His mark in every aspect of creation.</p>\n<p>The Church has championed a school of thought by which to view the human soul.

Knowing the truth of what the soul is and what that means for us will enable us to live as ones truly free.&nbsp;<em>Philosophy of Man </em>is the third of four volumes in the&nbsp;<em>Foundations&nbsp;of&nbsp;Wisdom</em>&nbsp;series by TAN Books; it is designed to provide the student with the foundational&nbsp;principles&nbsp;of rational thinking so as to give him the formation to discover the truth and defend against error.</p>","tags":[],"warranty":"","price":{"without_tax":{"formatted":"$39.95","value":39.95,"currency":"USD"},"tax_label":"Tax"},"height":"11.00","detail_messages":"","availability":"","page_title":"The Foundations of Wisdom Volume III: Philosophy of Man (Set)","cart_url":"https://tanbooks.com/cart.php","max_purchase_quantity":0,"mpn":null,"upc":"9781505126426","options":[{"id":4361,"type":"Configurable_PickList_Set","display_name":"Format","required":true,"state":"variant_option","partial":"set-rectangle","condition":true,"values":[{"id":8610,"label":"Paperbound","selected":true,"data":"Paperbound"}]}],"related_products":[{"id":3826,"sku":"3106-GROUPED","name":"The Foundations of Wisdom Volume III: Philosophy of Man (Textbook)","url":"https://tanbooks.com/products/the-foundations-of-wisdom-volume-iii-philosophy-of-man/","availability":"","rating":5,"brand":null,"category":["Books","Books/General ","Lifelong Learning/TAN Homeschool/Shop by Grade/7th Grade","Lifelong Learning/TAN Homeschool/Shop by Grade/8th Grade","Lifelong Learning/TAN Homeschool/Shop by Product Line/The Foundations of Wisdom"],"summary":"All of our Faith’s truths apply to the human soul.

Good, compelling arguments are given that demonstrate that the human soul is real.\r\n\r\nThis book was written primarily as a textbook for Catholic high school students, and it succeeds in its goal to teach the important truths about man in a clear, cogent manner.\r\n\r\nIn addition to covering the nature of man, Father Walshe provided these insights about knowledge: Knowledge about God is knowledge about the best thing there is. \r\nWhat makes knowledge better is partly due to the certainty of the knowledge, but primarily the best knowledge is due to the nobility of the thing known. And note that all knowledge, even sense knowledge, implies some kind of immateriality (either immaterial qualia in sense experience or immaterial universals used in reasoning).\r\n\r\nHaving covered the essential aspects of what a man is, there is a brief chapter on ethics, where Father Walshe explains that the purpose of ethics is to perfect a man, and make a man good. That chapter on ethics provides this insight about morality:\r\nThe truth is that if there is no objective standard of morality to which all are bound, then the powerful will always get their way. \r\nSo Moral Relativism is a doctrine which justifies the continued oppression of the weak by the strong. In fact, most people who say they are moral relativists are simply asserting that in order to justify their objectively bad actions. But as soon as any kind of injustice threatens them, they immediately become card-carrying moral objectivists. So while there are many who talk like moral relativists, no one is really a moral relativist in his heart; more often than not, Moral Relativism is used as a smoke screen to justify following emotions rather than reason.\r\n\r\nAll men by nature desire to know, and what men most need to know is what they are and why they are here. This book answers those questions.\r\n\r\n","date":"Jun 21st 2023"}]},"bulk_discount_rates":[],"meta_keywords":"","show_quantity_input":1,"title":"The Foundations of Wisdom Volume III: Philosophy of Man (Set)","gift_wrapping_available":false,"min_purchase_quantity":0,"customizations":[],"images":[{"data":"https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-iuax7bpgx3/images/stencil/{:size}/products/3820/9740/3108__76147.1685737004.png?c=1","alt":"The Foundations of Wisdom Volume III: Philosophy of Man (Set)"},{"data":"https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-iuax7bpgx3/images/stencil/{:size}/products/3820/9181/3107__42114.1675966738.jpg?c=1","alt":"The Foundations of Wisdom Volume III: Philosophy of Man (Set)"},{"data":"https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-iuax7bpgx3/images/stencil/{:size}/products/3820/9182/3106__68538.1675966739.jpg?c=1","alt":"The Foundations of Wisdom Volume III: Philosophy of Man (Set)"}],"width":"8.50"}
