The Active Powers of Man

Active powers of man refer to the mental and physical abilities used to consciously engage with the world. These include perception (sensing and interpreting stimuli), volition (making choices and decisions), and action (performing tasks). Essentially, they are the capacities that enable us to understand our environment, deliberate on options, and carry out movements or communications intentionally. These powers work together to allow purposeful interaction and adaptation within our surroundings, forming the foundation of conscious human activity and decision-making.
