- Materialism sees man as composed of nothing more than material components. His intellectual, emotional, and spiritual aspects are nothing but products of his material nature acting according to the rules of physics and biology. Implications:
- Man is not responsible for his behavior. The environment is to blame for unacceptable behavior. (Leads to emphasis on social programs, big government)
- Man is not distinguishable from the other material of creation. Therefore, he has no dignity or inherent worth. Animals (or even plants) have the same inherent worth as people.
- Man's identity is not in any way related to God. Therefore, man is in some sense ultimate, which is idolatrous.
- Idealism sees man as essentially a spiritual being, and his physical body is foreign to his essence. The body is nothing but a shell for the spirit or the intellect. Implications:
- Man's body is neglected.
- Deeds done in the body do not pollute the essence of the person.
- Male/female identity is a biological accident.
- The Christian view holds these two aspects - the material and the spiritual - together in perfect harmony. But the Christian view goes beyond that.
