Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is an attempt to synthesize two philosophical concepts of Karol Wojtyła: the concept of love, from the work Love and Responsibility (1960), with the concept of transcendence and integration of the person in action, from The Acting Person (1969). It has been shown that love dynamises a person according to the logic determined by transcendence (horizontal and vertical) and integration (or disintegration). These analyses show that Karol Wojtyła developed his philosophy in a consistent manner – both of his works are a coherent vision of the human dynamism.
