Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to demonstrate the basics of Stanislav Grof’s philosophical anthropology. Grof’sreflections are focused on the attempt to answer the question about human nature and human’s placein the world. Grof’s aims to grasp the essence of a human being by referring to the Eastern and Westernphilosophical and psychological cultural heritage, in addition to religious mystical experiences, psychotherapy,his own experiences and introspection. Grof offers an innovative approach, as his views are notlimited merely to theoretical reflections. This is a proposal of self-development and a therapeutic exploration,which, correspondingly to Plato’s philosophy, can be treated as a type of ‘way up’.
