How the Human acts as a Living Being “I think; therefore I am.” ~Rene Descartes A big topic of discussion that Philosophy looks at is describing what the soul is and how it relates to life. The reality of the situation is that having a soul is the same thing as having a life. If something is alive or has life then it has a soul. An example of this would be for humans, but this also holds true for objects, like trees. A tree is alive which then means that it has a soul and vice versa. Throughout

constraint by that subject's will." An obligator (a being to whom one can have a duty, a being capable of "active obligation") must have a will that can impose a moral constraint upon the obligated, and the obligated (one capable of "passive obligation") has a will that can be constrained by the obligator. This analysis leads Kant to articulate two conditions for genuine moral status: we can be obligated only to a being that is both (i) a "person," a being with a (certain kind of) will, and (ii) is "given

purpose of man. Beginning with the premise of the nature of man, Descartes argues that he is one who thinks (2, p. 23). Due to being a creature who thinks, Descartes comes to the conclusion that he is performing the action of acquiring knowledge (2, p. 30). This argument is good because human beings are rational creatures, which can be proven. Unlike animals, human beings are rational in terms of their nature and their ability to think of more complex things, such as knowing what time of the day

characteristics of human morality have been widely analyzed and extensively interpreted for several centuries. In Primates and Philosophers, Frans de Waal argues that morality is an evolved trait and that human beings are intrinsically good-natured. The idea of an inherited morality not only suggests that humans are altruistic and cooperative beings, but also introduces the idea that culture is the cause of the immoral aspects and tendencies of human nature. While it can be argued that humans are inherently
