Summary/Abstract: This study introduces the concept of culture in the work of Ladislav Hanus (1907–1994) from the perspective of the Central European Christian thought of the 20th century. It systematically uncovers the anthropological view of Hanus in the context of Catholic theology, personalist philosophy, and religious philosophy of culture. It presents man as an integral spiritual physical being oriented toward the transcendent, which realizes itself in relation to the human and divine „You.“ Hanus’ dynamic, anthropological under¬standing of culture and integral human person offers a personalistic model presented in theological philosophical categories. It points to the possibilities and importance of their implementation in elementary human manifestations.
