Summary/Abstract: The concept of culture is not often discussed in the field of metaphysical anthropology. Nonetheless it is of particular importance to the thought of both the Lublin School of Metaphysics and the thought of Karol Wojtyła. This work aims to build a bridge between these two philosophical positions, and thus define the similarities between them and the influence of the former on the position of the latter, specifically with regards to their views concerning culture. Analysis is made of texts which directly reference certain positions regarding culture, with particular terms being analyzed and compared. Of particular note, emphases is given to the place of “interpersonal relations” and “action” generally.
