Summary/Abstract: In his understanding of himself, the man is a seeker who realizes that he is a being of relationship to himself and to others. Reflection on the existence of others is another frame of reference in which the opinion on what a person is and what he is summarized. People become people among people; a man needs another man to be a man. In a relationship a person becomes what he is and what he would like to be. Namely, through the dynamics of the relationship, a person reveals himself and others with virtue and flaw, reward and punishment, victory and loss with which shame and pride are associated. In shame, a man hides his face from others and when proud reveals it. Self-care “epimeleia heautou” is a principle of cognition that extends throughout Hellenistic philosophy which presents the role of shame and pride in self-knowledge “gnothi seatum”.
