One important thing that makes man different from other animals is his self-consciousness.  Because of his intellect and will man has the capacity to know himself, to look at himself. Man is capable of reflection. Though a subject in himself, he is capable of looking at himself as an object.  Hence, he is able to know himself, able to know others and most importantly he is able to relate with others.  That is why aside from being defined as a rational being, man can also be defined as a relational being, a social being. He is capable of experiencing himself, and experiencing others.
