Etos twórcy w nauczaniu Jana Pawła II
The ethos of the creator in the teaching of John Paul II

Summary/Abstract: The carrier of values and ideas, which undoubtedly are of great importance for humanity is the ethos, understood as the „personification”. It is a kind of cultural set of ideals that have an impact on the people and show the value of emotional and sometimes moral of the community. In this article ethos-personification of the creator will be presented, first in relation to the Creator, which is God himself, then in relation to man. By calling people to the existence and life, God himself has assumed the role of initiator and creator of life. He created it to be then trusted in the hands of the man himself. Father Almighty as the highest essence and the most important in the world, gave the man beauty that surrounds us as well as talents and opportunities to develop, so that we can create a „masterpiece” of our own life. As beautiful and perfect as we could imagine, however depending on God who has allowed it and pointed out how to do this. The people’s fate depends on themselves, as everyone is „the architect of his own fortune.” By creating human life God expressed his artistic face. The article presents the role of the artist not only as the originator of life, but also as a designer and creator of morality and culture. It is underlining the relation between the good, and at the same time is provoking reflection that every work whether it be God or the man, is a special form of revelation of the values.
