Summary/Abstract: There is a variety of concepts of man in philosophy. Thus, it becomes essential to reflect on their assumptions. It seems particularly important to focus on the personalist as well as on the reduced vision of man which promote contradictory values. The research conducted for the purpose of this work concentrated mainly on the integral and reduced vision of man and on their cultural and educational value. The research indicates an anthropological error which lies at the root of the reduced vision of man. It also shows the importance of the integral vision of man based on the assumptions of personalism which John Paul II frequently referred to. Integral and personalist pedagogy has a positive impact not only on the development of young generation but also on the cultural dimension of social life.
