This paper examines four issues concerning human being as a multi-dimensional be-ing. Firstly, the dualist and tripartite conceptions of human beings are discussed. The dichotomist (dualist, bipartite) view of human beings—according to which man com-prises of spiritual soul and body—underscores in a strongly materialistic world the idea that faith, spirituality, belief, trust and confidence are soft options in daily life. Second-ly, the author investigates the possibility of a differentiation and interchange of human fields of experience as components of human nature. In the African and Christian ap-proaches taken into account in this paper, human being comprises a differentiated mul-tiplicity of fields, components, dimensions and facets of experience integrated into a wholesome creature that experiences God, itself, other human beings and the natural environment. Each component of human being, though radically different, is of the same importance. Thirdly, the modern integral and differential conceptions of human being as a multi-dimensional entity are discussed. The approach in this paper is of postmodern non-reductionist type; according to it, human beings are comprised differ-entially of a multiplicity of fields, modes, dimensions and aspects of experience dynam-ically integrated in a union.
