1. NATURAL
COMPLEMENTARITY
OF MAN AND WOMAN
Understanding the Significance of their
EQUALITY

2. The
Personhood
of Man and
Woman
 That both man and woman are equally persons
is luminously expressed in Genesis 1, even
though it does not use the term person.
 But the text makes it clear that human beings,
male and female, are persons, for it affirms
that "God created man [ha ’adam] in his
image; in the divine image he created him,
male and female he created them" (Gen. 1:27).

3.  Note that the Hebrew word, ’adam, is not
used here as a proper name for the first human
male, as it was in later texts of Genesis, but
rather as the generic term to designate Man, a
human being, whether male or female.
 Being created in the image of God, Man, male
and female, is a person, i.e., a being endowed
with intellect and will, with the capacity to
come to know the truth, to make free choices,
and by so doing to be self-determining.

4. The truth that woman, like man, is a
person is expressed more poetically in
Genesis 2.There the man, who is initially
identified by the generic term for human
being, adam, is created first.
But it is "not good" for him to be alone.
The other living creatures of the earth,
however, are not equal to him; they are
not worthy to be his companion, his
partner.

5. "Defining"
Man and
Woman,
Male and
Female
By virtue of their sexuality--which, we
must remember, is not something merely
biological but something that "concerns
the innermost being of the human
person"--men and women are summoned
to give themselves to others and to
receive them, and to do so in a unique
and exclusive way in marriage.

6. They are likewise summoned to be
outgoing and superabundant in their
giving and to bring others peace
and rest by receiving them within
themselves.
But men and women, males and females,
give superabundantly and receive in
peaceful tranquility in strikingly different
modalities.

7. The shared perception of
reality between or among
two or more individuals

8. Intersubjectivity
requires
accepting
Differences
and not to
Impose on
others

9. • We look at our
differences and
may have “labels”
toward one another
• We have collected
and given labels
ourselves towards
others.

10. Labels both NEGATIVE and
POSITIVE
We are STILL DIFFERENT
INDIVIDUALS, different
appearances, characteristics,
attitudes, beliefs, and point of
views.

redesign it to something new.

contagious, so can positive ones.

these labels can strengthen
relationships

19. Wojtyla’s
theory of
participation
(WE-
RELATION)
As St. Augustine of Hippo said,
“No human being should become
an end to him/herself.We are
responsible to our neighbors as we
are to our own actions.”

20. Wojtyla’s
theory of
participation
(WE-
RELATION)
We participate in the communal
life. Our notion of the “neighbor”
and “fellow member” is by
participating in the humanness of
the other person.

his/her wholeness, totality, concrete
existence and relatedness to the
world.
His philosophy is about the human
person as a subject, who is a being
different from things or from
objects.

25. Martin buber’s
i-it
This relationship is a person
to thing, subject to object
that is merely experiencing
and using; lacking
directedness and mutuality
(feeling, knowing, acting)

26. MARTIN
BUBER’S I-
YOU
The human person experiences
his wholeness not in relation to
one’s self, but in virtue of his
relation to another self.
