Person as the source of values in communication. Based on the philosophy of person by Karol Wojtyła and Józef Tischner

Summary/Abstract: In my article I wanted to analyze the communication from the moral point of view. My ground to think about morality is Karol Wojtyła and Józef Tischner’s thinking. I proposed the thesis that because of hard experiences of war and totalitarian system in the 20th century; because of nihilism and wrong understanding of human freedom; and because of media culture and a lack of authentic relationships between people; interpersonal communication is superficial and empty. In order to make communication creative and human, in order to restore its first meaning and lost deepness, I believe it is necessary to see the moral dimension of communication and redefine its fundamental structure from the point of view of the philosophy of the person. Thus, I asked the questions: Who communicates? What does one communicate for? What is the message? They lead to considering the act of communication in its fundamental structure.
