Solutions to the Anthropological Mistake
Solutions to the Anthropological Mistake

Summary/Abstract: In the thought of Karol Wojtyła, significant time and focus is given to the concept of the “anthropological mistake.” This conception argues that certain ideological positions create an improper view of the human person, and as such are dangerous to man and his personhood. This article follows two articles previously published in this journal and presents Karol Wojtyła’s solution to the anthropological mistake, with this being a proper metaphysical anthropology that sees man as a personal being. This metaphysical anthropological position is deeply ingrained in the Lublin School of Metaphysics, with Wojtyła’s thought reflecting the positions thereof. As such this article uses both the works of Wojtyła, as well as closely related positions found within the Lublin School of Thomism, to present Wojtyła’s answer and solution to the anthropological mistake. This being a proper, realistic, and person based metaphysical anthropology.
