ABSTRACT
This chapter explains how science and the Christian Church construe the most basic terms of anthropology. It provides aswer for the following questions: What is a person? And, what is society? The person of the Church is not the individual of science. He is not a subject-object, but is a being in God. Unlike everything else in creation, the person is an image of God. Emerson's essay on "Self-Reliance" was part of his philosophy of "Transcendentalism" Maslow's scientific theory of self-actualization reflected his transcendental psychology. It seems that for the idea of a person to feel right it must reach beyond this world. This brings us to the person of the Christian faith. As philosophy made the individual the redoubt of science, science made the individual an object beyond doubt. This development has been dramatic and surprising-dramatic because it has been so thorough and surprising because Kant had distinguished appearances of fact from truths.
