Aim

It is an overview on the nature, activities and the destiny of man. It attempts to assess the place of human person in and his relationship to the world. In some respect it also constitutes a metaphysics of man, for it is a probe of the deepest causes and meaning of man. In evaluating different theories the motive is to enhance the students with an openness to truth. It is an attempt to see man as a totality within totality.
