What Is a Human Being?

  

     Throughout history, the question of ‘‘what is a human being?’’ has been discussed and it has been discussing currently in religion and philosophy. Human being may be said to be the most complex being in the universe. Some philosophers support that human being is consist of physical body only. Other thinkers argue that human being is consist of mind and wisdom. Also, some thinkers who have the multiplex approach about this topic claim that human being is made of body, mind and soul. In my opinion, the human being is formed the physical body, the consciousness and the soul, namely, the multiplex approach.

     Human being is neither physical or material being nor soul or mind. Materialist thinkers support that human being is just physical body and it does not have a soul like a computer. Furthermore, mind is connected to brain and hormones direct human mind. At the same time, idealists say that human being is consist of just mind and what is real is mental. These are against human nature and creation. Human being cannot be thought without soul, mind and physical body. These three elements form an exact human being. If you ignore the soul, human being becomes a stack of muscle or a machine. Unless you care the physical body, human being has to become an intangible formation. Therefore, the multiplex approach is more logical and suitable about human being and it mixes three main elements about human existence.

     When everything is taken into account, the soul, the physical body and mind are prerequisite for human being because when human being is thought without any of them, this situation becomes a can of worms after a certain point. Human being has to have a relationship with heart and mind that means soul, reasoning that means mind and five senses which are touching, seeing, hearing, smelling and tasting. When you combine these three factors, you can understand and explore what human being is consist of.
