Dignity of the human person in the dimension of philosophical anthropology

Author(s): Edward Sienkiewicz
Subject(s): Christian Theology and Religion, Anthropology, Philosophy

Summary/Abstract: In the Christian understanding, the dignity of human being is not established by philosophical anthropology, but it is discovered. Philosophy laying claim to this must comprise all the human reality. This can be achieved only by creating methodology according to a criterion constituting the wisdom character of philosophy and it’s striving to get to know the absolute truth, which is only possible with keeping its fundamental purpose, which is reaching the first reasons of everything through the natural light of intellect. Philosophy giving up this requirement plunges into crisis. It becomes an analysis or description of fragments of the reality, comprised by detailed science, thus showing a partial, not a full image of the human existence.
