...it was King David, not Plato, that first posed the question, "what is man".

That's not a quibble! Yet I suspect, however, that King David was not primarily interested in the question as a philosophical problem. And so didn't treat it as one.

“What Is Man?”

Ps 8:3-5 ¶ When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
