Summary/Abstract: Correctly built ethics is possible to be established only on the foundation of integral anthropology. Integral anthropology presupposes the dignity of the human being, that is, it shows a vision of a man, with his soul and his body, and a man redeemed by Jesus Christ. Such premises do not always accompany human anthropology. Then, the so-called “anthropological error” appears, which is an attempt to mistaken thinking about a man. John Paul II was the first to use the concept of the anthropological error. He mentioned this topic in many aspects of his teaching. The message of my publication is a multifaceted discussion of the anthropological error in philosophical, social and cultural contexts, presented by John Paul II, and its update.
