| description | John Paul II in his magisterial writings and papal teaching many times
referred to the human being, whom he presented in a personal category. At
the same time insisted that the major problem of modern civilization is a the
wrong anthropology, which denies the spiritual dimension of human being. This
wrong approach brings in consequences an instrumental treatment and disgraced
human dignity. The human being as a person has the special value that should
be af
fi
rmed for his own sake, not for any other reason. The human as a being
made in the image and likeness of God has a dignity of the person. John Paul II
insists that a capacity for relationship with God is of the very essence of human
being. God’s invitation to a shared life is a gratuitous, unmerited gift to man who
from the beginning was made
capax Dei
. In these re
fl
ections, John Paul II offers
many insights about the nature of human identity and dignity. The relationship
between human being and God is a guarantee of his dignity. For this reason,
anthropology cannot keep only on what is immanent in human being, but applies
also to the transcendence. Anthropology disconnected from the transcendent
becomes something deeply inhuman. Depriving humanity of its most important
dimension also deprives it from its full personal dynamism. Therefore, it appears
appropriate to take in this article the issue of transcendence of the person, which
is the foundation of anthropology and pedagogy presented by Pope John Paul II.
Firstly, the need for portraying the human person as physical and spiritual being
will be argued for presented. Then the paper will study the genealogy of humans in communion with the family. In the last part, the marriage as a community of
man and woman will be discussed. |
