Man is a substantial unity of body and soul. Among the visible creatures, he is the only one with the independence and dignity of the person. He is a true microcosm, as the ancients said, a little world that exceeds in value all the inanimate worlds. And being the most perfect of all nature, the human person and human destiny cannot be, therefore, only of time but of eternity, constituting, therefore, a transcendent unity.
Juan Peron, “The National State,” 1972.
