Summary/Abstract: The work I present comparatively exposes anthropology from an interreligious perspective and its crises. People are divided into many categories, namely: atheists, indifferents, people of religious spectacle, practitioners and people of mystery. The most profound is the last category but it is also the smallest in percentage. I have tried to present briefly the way in which man is analyzed and perceived in the great religions (Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam and Judaism). From a Christian perspective, there are several terms that define Christian anthropology, namely: man is a paradigmatic being who can change the world through his charic model. Then man is a connection between heaven and earth, a permanent syndesmos. He has the liturgical and eucharistic vocation through which he serves creation and gives it a meaning, a telos. There is in man a priestly vocation to serve and perfect creation and humanity. Finally, a sacred awareness is needed to recover a thinking that is too horizontal and too hedonistic. We must recover the transcendence in every human being.
