Summary/Abstract: The “anthropological mistake” is one of the most important yet under researched terms in the thought of Karol Wojtyla. It is a term that is only referenced specifically in one of his works, this being Centesimus Annus, but serves as a thread that is found in the totality of his writing from his early years as a young priest, to the mature encyclicals of his pontificate. This work functions as an introduction to the “anthropological mistake” as presented by Karol Wojtyla through an analysis of the presence of this term in certain philosophical works of this philosopher pope. Through this analysis of the presence of this term in the canon of both the young and mature Wojtyla, this work presents both what the “anthropological mistake” means in philosophical anthropology, and lists examples thereof enumerated upon by Karol Wojtyla.
