JAK STYCZEŃ CZYTA WOJTYŁĘ?
TADEUSZ STYCZEŃ READS KAROL WOJTYŁA

Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on Tadeusz Styczeń's reading of the oeuvre of Karol Wojtyła, outlining three characteristic ways of Styczeń's reception of the output of his teacher. Firstly, Styczeń's reading of Wojtyła is marked by attention to detail and takes into consideration the entire context of a given text. Such an approach enables Styczeń to criticize the merely apparent or outwardly false personalism advanced by some philosophers. Secondly, Styczeń's reading of Wojtyła is a critical one, which can be seen in his debate with Wojtyła on the relationship between philosophical anthropology and ethics. Thirdly, Styczeń's reading of Wojtyła is creative. Wojtyła's ideas inspire Styczeń to explore the significance of truth: should it be even banal in nature, it is so deeply binding to human freedom that acknowledging it is tantamount to self-realization, while refuting it leads to moral self-destruction.
