W STRONĘ PERSONALISTYCZNEJ DOKTRYNY PRAWNEJ. IMPLIKACJE ANTROPOLOGII I ETYKI TADEUSZA STYCZNIA I KAROLA WOJTYŁY DLA NAUKI PRAWA
JURISPRUDENTIAL IMPLICATIONS OF ANTHROPOLOGY AND ETHICS OF TADEUSZ STYCZEŃ AND KAROL WOJTYŁA: TOWARDS A PERSONALIST LEGAL DOCTRINE

Summary/Abstract: The goal of the article is to operationalize the findings of the philosophical anthropology and ethics proposed by Cardinal Karol Wojtyła and Tadeusz Styczeń, SDS, in a way that enhances the usefulness of their ideas for legal sciences. The ultimate aim of the research is to develop a personalist legal doctrine based on the thought of those renowned Lublin philosophers, making it applicable in contexts related to legislation and legal practice. The article pursues two objectives that get us closer to this general, ultimate aim. The first objective is identification of the personalist meaning of law, while the second is to describe the concept of a legal community based on such an interpretation of law. The objectives are achieved in three steps. The first section of the paper serves as an introduction, situating the approach presented in the article within the framework of natural law theory. The second section is dedicated to the personalist meaning of law, focusing on the central question of how human subjectivity and agency are reflected in legal norms. The third section explores the concept of the legal community that emerges from the personalist understanding of law. The guiding principles of such a community are human dignity and solidarity with every human being.
