One of the major challenges in the study of the humanities is that these sciences are founded upon non-divine and materialist philosophies, which are based on regarding the human being as a mere animal and, consequently, considering him irresponsible before Almighty God. The present study, adopting a descriptive-analytical approach, in presenting its final definition of the human being, goes beyond the classical and well-known definition of “rational animal” as well as the more advanced notion of “Divine Living Being” and considers the definition of “Servant Living Being” as a step further and more precise than the latter. For the mere articulation of a divinized life does not in itself signify the true station of humanity; rather, it is the practical submission arising from human will before the Source of Perfections, and man’s servitude in the realm of worldly life, that constitutes the final definition of the human being.The authors of this article maintain that only on the basis of this definition can the human sciences guide the human being toward his ultimate end, while at the same time securing his worldly well-being and felicity in accordance with his servitudinal journey. This, however, is conditional upon their attentiveness to the stages of human life and the needs corresponding to them, and the acceptance of the principles and foundations of divine law as their essential framework, along with the adoption of a return-to-principles approach in addressing the concrete issues arising in social life.
