Man must actualize himself and

should be actualized because that is

his universal calling. Being
actualized involves the existence of
other being other than himself this is
the essence of this chapter to discuss
about others as values. These
“OTHERS” possess an intrinsic value
not because we value them, not because
of what they have or the state of life
that they live but because they are
themselves a value.​
 Man as a social being

• This chapter talks about the horizontal sphere wherein man exists
side by side with other being other that himself. “No man is an
Island” as the popular saying goes. The socialness requires
intelligence and freedom. Every human act is an intelligent act
where in the self-conscious of his own act intention and the other
self as well. It is basically a free act as well because he finds the
reason such as an act.
• being social in innate in man. there is no
need to exert effort on order to
understand how to become one it does not
require the physicals presence of the other
to practice being social.
• Man needs to know the repercussions of
being social. As Heidegger puts in this
way "Human Dasein's existence is not an
alone existence but an existence with
others"
 The Self
• subject ang the giver of meaning of the world around him. He also a value which is
innate in him. This value needs to be respected by others as a person and should not be
compromised in favor of some extrinsic reasons like wealth ,properties ,status, power
etc.
• the self is considered one unit in the socialization process. As a unit self must maintain
his own identity apart from the others who are physically present or absent in the
socialization process. "Man must learn to establish himself and break walls of
"attachment" from other individual being. to maintain his own identity the self
must start know himself well. Deeper knowledge of himself is required to free him from
confusion and self-doubt
 The Impressions
• what our senses perceive they leave impressions to us and thee
impressions sometimes create biases, prejudices or prejudgments
• Most often than not our attitude is based on what is fed to us by our
sense without realizing that what we only perceive are mere
accidentals
• we see her beautiful or ugly, sexy or stout, intelligent or dull, rich or
poor etc. but what we fail to notice is the behind those accidentals his
being reduced to everything what he has or what he has not and not
according to he is
• In every socialization process
actualizing cannot be understood
by how much you get from every
encounter you make but how
much you share
• The perception that the other is
an object extinguishes the virtual
exchange of meaning. For
example I treat him my friend
because he is rich his riches will
shape all my actions towards him
so much that once not sustained I
will cease become his friend
 The Prejudice

• Some of us behave according to what we think others ours.

Everything is reduced to a mere assumption and assumptions
happens because of some previous similar experience that
occurred during the past. Sometimes assumption happens
because we use ourselves as basis of measurement in order to
see others. We behave according to what we believe he is.
 The Concept of love

• In this kind of relationship you find his being meaningful

to you. His/her presence is more important than anything
else the center of attention is not what makes you happy
but rather on the things that would make your beloved
happy and fulfilled. The lover cannot prioritize his own
satisfaction rather it is the other way around he does not
possess the object of his love for his own satisfaction but
rather finds comfort and happiness for the sake of his
beloved. As Leo Buscaglia says “Love is the process of my
leading you back to yourself”
Number is not a condition in loving. Love is
not limited only to two people. Feeling in
love is a personal experience to be with
someone else. It is basically a feeling of
desire. Our experience shows that feeling
change in an abrupt manner. You may feel
good today but no longer tomorrow. Feeling
are unreliable that is why it is hard to allow
our feelings to be in control for it will just
lead us to a wretched kind of life.
 Characteristics of love
• Loving someone is a decision. Your
feeling of love must be a reasoned
love. A reasoned love is a kind of love
wherein it calls for permanence-
continue loving even when there is no
feeling of love anymore. Since loving
is a decision one must pause for a
while and give yourself enough time to
reflect and think whether it is the right
moment to love or whether he/she is
the right person whom you will spend
the rest of your life with.
