Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this review article is to critically discuss and comment on the contents of the monograph entitled Integralność ciała ludzkiego jako powinność moralna. Przesłanie moralne Kościoła [The integrity of the human body as a moral obligation. The moral message of the Church], which, edited by K. Smykowski, appeared on the publishing market in 2022. In the reviewed publication, two basic meanings in which we can talk about the dependence mentioned in the title of the monograph are brought closer and analysed. The article shows how the principium of the integrity of the human body finds application in theological and moral anthropology, bioethics and in many other practical disciplines of knowledge, such as canon law, catechetical pedagogy, homiletics and social sciences.
