Crash Course Catholicism 110 - The Dimensions of the Human Person
We are made in the image of God, and this truth has profound implications for how we understand the human person.
In this episode, we explore key dimensions of human personhood, including freedom, responsibility, the capacity for transcendence, uniqueness and unrepeatability, and equality.
Understanding the full depth and complexity of human nature is essential for social doctrine, because our understanding of the human person forms the foundation of human rights.
