Existentialist view on human nature...truth provides the starting points of theological reflection and is thus intrinsic to the discipline.

But, Aquinas fails to do justice to the full humanity of Jesus when he ascribe to Jesus 'the greatest knowledge and power possible in a creature'.
In Christian theology, analogical arguments were accepted to explain the attributes of God and Aquinas made a distinction between different terms of analogy. Thomas Aquinas distinguishes philosophy and theology as: "the believer and philosopher consider creatures...

Morality and Humanity In Kants View...Morality & Humanity In Kant's View Kant argued that moral requirements are based on a standard of rationality he dubbed the "Categorical Imperative" (CI). Immorality thus involves a violation of the CI and is thereby irrational. Kant's first formulation of the CI states that you are to "act only in accordance with that maxim through which you can at the same time will that it become a universal law."

Admittedly, though, determining the moral status of this group presents difficulties for any secular view, not just Fukuyama's.
Fukuyama is concerned that any future advances in biotechnology that allow self-modification of "our complex evolved natures" could "disrupt either the unity or the continuity of...
