Summary/Abstract: This paper is devoted to Zdzislaw Cackowski’s philosophy of man. The basic thesis of that philosophy is the sentence: man is the world of man. This has many consequences. Methodological: we cannot understand man, without understanding the world in which and by which he lives. Ontological-cognitive: there is as much world as there is man, and anthropological-moral: there is as much world as there is human responsibility. This is not, however, classical anthropology. We do not have here the question, what is man or what is the world in which man lives in. Instead, we ask, what are the mechanisms that are at the foundation of the human world-creation, on what levels, layers and planes do humans realize their humanity, and by what means do humans realize their life. Cackowski is not interested in man as such, instead he is interested in the means, forms and mechanisms of the human world-creation.
