The Juche philosophy is an original man-centred philosophy, and therefore, the concept man is the most important category of the Juche philosophy.

Of course, when we refer to man, he is included by every realistic and material man who lives and conducts activities. However, in the Juche philosophy man is not a certain individual or everyone who looks like man.

Man, the main philosophical category of the Juche philosophy, implies a social being and a member of the working masses.

A realistic and material man is a social being who always makes social relationship everywhere to live and conduct activities. There can be no isolated individual who does not live in social relationship.

Since it is an anti-popular collective whose nature and law of existence is exploitation and oppression of man, the reactionary exploiter class cannot be included in man, the social being, the philosophical concept.

Man, the social collective, who forms and develops genuine social or human relations and vigorously hastens the development of social history, is masses of working people. In the Juche philosophy, man is a category that generalizes the masses of working people in a philosophical way.
