Summary/Abstract: John Paul II devoted a lot of attention to Man as a person in his teaching. He indicated that it is the false anthropology which is a problem of the contemporary civilization. John Paul II reminded us that Man needs to prepare for life in the family, nation and Church, which places high requirements for families, teachers, educators and priests. At the same time, Man remains a social being, does not exist only for him/herself but rather establishes groups, communities, societies. From this perspective, the proper development of Man demands cooperation of different entities and educational environments.
