The problem statement of this research is that the Qur’ān has widely discussed the concept of human being in a number of verses, thus, there is an immense need for the Qur’ānic concept of human to be identified and highlighted. This research aims to clarify the concept of human being in the light of the Qur’ān. This study is significant because it identifies and uncovers the concept of human being according to the Holy Qur’ān, which is very essential to develop and qualify the human being to undertake the duties he is assigned with. To reach the objectives of the research, both the inductive and the analytical approaches are used. The findings of the research show that the human concepts of the human nature and his essential essence are incorrect and contradictory. However, the Qur’ānic concept of human being is distinct and unique for the fact that it is divine, given by his creator who definitely knows him very well. The human being in the light of the Qur’ān is known where he comes from, and is distinct in his own creation, he is also a creation that is being highly valued and received great appreciation in the Qurʾān, and given a special status in the universe distinguishes him from all other creations. Yet, this honor and special status make him responsible to fulfill the mission Allah S.W.T. entrusted him with. In addition, he is a free and willing being but responsible, he is also a weak being in himself unless he depends on his Creator. Finally, this research recommends that the human being concept should be determined in the light of the Qur’ān, since it is correct, sound and comprehensive, it also emphasizes to develop an integrated approach to build the human being that takes into account the reality, characteristics and needs of that creature as mentioned in the Qur’ān. تكمن مشكلة البحث في أن حديث القرآن الكريم عن الإنسان من حيث ذاته وخصائصه جاء متفرقا فيالآيات الكريمة؛ فلذلك كان جمع تلك الآيات والخلوص بنظرة القرآن الكريم للإنسان على نحو شامل ومتكاملأمرا ضروريا، ويهدف هذا البحث إلى بيان معالم وملامح التصور القرآني للإنسان. هذا البحث مهم لأنهيتناول الإنسان؛ ماهيته وحقيقته وخصائصه في ضوء النظرة القرآنية المتميزة، ومعرفة الإنسان والإلمام بحقيقتهوماهيته يعتبر غاية في الأهمية إذ لا يمكن القيام بعملية بناء الإنسان وعمارته -ثم تأهيله للقيام بمهمتهالوظيفية- على أسس سليمة إلا بمعرفته المعرفة الحقة والتي لا يمكن إيجادها خارج الإطار القرآني، وللوصولإلى أهداف البحث اعتمد الباحث المنهج الاستقرائي لتتبع وجمع الآيات التي تحدثت عن الإنسان وخصائصهوماهيته، مع الرجوع إلى المصادر التفسيرية القديمة والحديثة التي تطرقت إلى هذا الموضوع، وإضافة إلى ذلك،اعتمد الباحث المنهج التحليلي لتحليل النصوص القرآنية لاستنباط نظرة القرآن الكريم للإنسان من حيثماهيته وخصائصه. ومن أهم النتائج التي توصل إليها البحث: أن التصورات البشرية للإنسان تتميز بالقصوروالتناقض بين تصور يحط من قيمة الإنسان وآخر يرفعه إلى مقام الألوهية، وأن الرؤية القرآنية للإنسان متميزةوفريدة من نوعها لأنها من عند الله تعالى خالق هذا الإنسان فهو -وحده- الأعلم به، فالإنسان في التصورالقرآني معلوم الأصل والمصدر، متميز في ذاته وخلقه وتركيبته، وهو مخلوق مكرم نال تقديرا وحفاوة كبيرين فيالخطاب القرآني، وله منزلة خاصة في الكون تميزه عن سائر الموجودات، حيث سخر له جميع ما في الأرضلينتفع به، وهذا التكريم وهذه الحفاوة ليسا لذات الإنسان وإنما للمهمة الشريفة التي أنيطت به، والدور الجللالذي كلف بأدائه وهو خلافة الله في أرضه؛ فهو شُ رِّفَ لأنه كُل فَ. وهو كائن حر وذو إرادة ولكنه مسؤول،كما أنه كائن ضعيف في ذاته ما لم يعتمد على خالقه. ومن أبرز توصيات البحث: ضرورة تحديد التصورللإنسان في ضوء القرآن الكريم لأنه الصحيح والسليم، ليتم -وفق هذا التصور- وضع منهج متكامل لبناءالإنسان يراعي حقيقته وخصائصه وحاجياته.

In St. Maximus the Confessor’s teaching human nature consists of the soul and the body, in which logos of power that unifies them together is inscribed. Human nature manifests itself in the individual human being. The human being as the body and the soul naturally longs for God. This longing is fulfilled by the movement, which is connected to dynamism of the entire human structure. The dynamism is inscribed in the mind, reason, spirit, will, sense, passionate powers and body. The dynamic aspiration for God does not imply getting rid of any of the human elements, even passionate and bodily, but on the contrary, it demands ap­preciation and proper use of all the natural powers of the human being. Maximus the Confessor treats the human being as a whole. The human is not only mind, reason and spirit, but also will, sense, passionate powers and body. The dynamism of mental and spiritual sphere should be extended in the senses, passionate pow­ers and body, so that the body also becomes the source of virtues, and is deified together with the soul through unity with the Absolute. This unity as the goal of human longing will never be static, but dynamic, because the fulfillment of this longing is the state with eternal movement. So human being will constantly strive for even more perfect unity with God. Through this unity the human being becomes more human. The originality of the Author consists in the fact that using the anthropological views of the earlier tradition and interpreting them mystically and symbolically, he intertwined the entire dynamism of human being with the structure of the Platonic world. The human being through the longing for God and through the proper use of natural powers mystically unites with God not only himself/herself, but also the entire universe, because the structure of the human being is analogous to the structure of the universe.

Abstract: Today, developments in science and technology have a significant impact on all aspects of the constellation of life, not to mention the complexity of the universe as a space for human life. Nature as a space of human life, has been considered as an object, so that the human being dominated and exploited radically. This condition is exacerbated by the lack of understanding human nature as multidimensional beings, one of which is to have a relationship in the nature of space and time, so it impact on human consciousness which have a continuing obligation to keep the harmony, the harmony of nature neglected. In connection with these conditions, the need for a strategic effort to build a new paradigm in order to raise awareness about the importance of nature through educational process based ekopedagogik in growing ecological awareness and character.Keyword: Ecopedagogy, ecological consciousness, character Abstrak: Dewasa ini, perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi telah memberikan dampak signifikan pada seluruh aspek konstelasi kehidupan, tak terkecuali kompleksitas pada alam sebagai ruang bagi kehidupan manusia. Alam sebagai ruang kehidupan manusia, telah dianggap sebagai objek, sehingga didominasi dan dieksploitasi manusia secara radikal. Kondisi ini diperparah dengan rendahnya pemahaman manusia akan hakikatnya sebagai makhluk multidimensional yang salah satunya ialah memiliki relasi dalam ruang dan waktu dengan alam, sehingga hal ini berimbas pada kesadaran manusia yang memiliki kewajiban untuk senantiasa menjaga keselarasan, keharmonisan alam yang terabaikan. Berkaitan dengan kondisi tersebut, perlu adanya sebuah upaya strategis untuk membangun paradigma baru guna menumbuhkan kesadaran tentang pentingnya menjaga alam melalui proses pendidikan berbasis ekopedagogik dalam menumbuhkan kesadaran ekologis dan karakter.

The second edition of The Oxford Handbook of Personality and Social Psychology captures the history, current status, and future prospects of personality and social psychology—presented not as a set of parallel accounts, but as an integrated perspective on the behavior of persons in social contexts. This handbook combines these two fields in a single integrated volume, offering a unique and generative agenda for psychology. It is dedicated to the proposition that personality and social psychology are best viewed in conjunction with one another and that the synergy to be gained from considering links between the two fields can do much to move both fields forward and to enrich our understanding of human nature. Such interdependence is particularly crucial if one wishes to address the ongoing functioning of persons in their natural environments, where splits between person and situation are not so easily fashioned. The chapters of the Handbook weave together work from personality and social psychology, not only in areas of long-standing concern, but also in newly emerging fields of inquiry, addressing both distinctive contributions and common ground. In so doing, they offer compelling evidence for the power and the potential of an integrated approach to personality and social psychology.

At least two important consequences follow from the fact that human rights are based on human nature. First, they exist according to natural law even in cases where positive law does not recognize them. Secondly, they cannot evolve because the nature and purpose of the human being does not change: only their formulation and level of protection in positive law can vary according to the socio-historical context.

Anthropocentric paradigm has distanced humans from nature, as well as causing the humans themselves become exploitative in attitude and do not really care about the nature. In relation, ecological crisis also can be seen as caused by mechanistic-reductionistic-dualistic of Cartesian science. The perspective of anthropocentric is corrected by biocentrism and ecocentrism ethics, particularly Deep Ecology, to re-look at the nature as an ethical community. The concept of ecoculture is already practiced from the beginning by indigenous or traditional societies in elsewhere. The perspective of the human being as an integral part of the nature, and  the behaviour of full of resposibility, full of respect and care about the sustainability of all life in the universe have become perspectives and behaviours of various traditional people. The majority of local wisdom in the maintenance of the environment is still surviving in the midst of shifting currents waves by a pressure of anthropocentric perspective. There is also in a crisis because a pressure of the  influences of a modernization. While others, drifting and eroding in the modernization and the anthropocentric perspective.In that context, ecoculture, particularly Deep Ecology, support for leaving the anthropocentric perspective, and when a holistic life perspective asks for leaving the anthropocentric perspective, the humans are invited to go back to thelocal wisdom, the old wisdom of the indigenous people. in other words, environmental ethics is to urge and invite the people to go back to the ethics of the indigenous people that are still relevant with the times. The essence of this perspective is back to the nature, back to his true identity as an ecological human in the ecoreligion  perspective.

This paper is an investigation of the reference made by Carlos Santiago Nino about Jorge Luis Borges, in the fifth chapter of his “Introduction to Legal Analysis”, in which he introduces the concept of verbal realism. The production by Borges mentioned by Nino is the poem “The Golem”, which tells the story of rabbi Judah Loew, who attempted to create another human being in his rituals. Thus, this study develops new considerations on the power of words to evoke things, and the common belief that words intrinsically relate to what they represent. In order to do that, the first objective of analysis is the immediate reference of Borges, the dialogue “Cratylus”, by Plato, together with other references, such as Goethe’s Faust, which has a similar narrative to the analyzed poem. The question raised is whether verbal realism offers definitions to constitute the universe built up by Borges. Hence, this article concludes that words, in normative contexts, are useful for summoning certain phenomena towards the events, and that verbal realism, then, has a dimension that Carlos Santiago Nino did not explore.

This chapter argues against the claim advanced by Daniel Haybron, Daniel C. Russell, and Mark LeBar that human self-perfection is ultimately based on notions of well-being and human flourishing that we bring to our understanding of human nature and in favor of the idea that it is human nature itself that ultimately grounds our understanding of human well-being or human flourishing. In doing so, the question of whether there is some gap between (a) what it is to be a good human being and (b) what is good for a human being is addressed. It is shown that the arguments on behalf of a such a gap fail and that the version of perfectionism that is advanced—that is, individualistic perfectionism—is ideally suited to not only avoid such a gap but also to display their unity, especially when perfection is understood as a process of living things and not as some cosmic or metaphysical process.
