FREEDOM FOR RESPONSIBILITY: RESPONSIBILITY AND HUMAN NATURE IN THE PHILOSOPHICAL ANTHROPOLOGY OF KAROL WOJTYLA
Journal Title: Studia Gilsoniana - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
This article considers the essential connection between human nature and responsibility within the philosophical thought of Karol Wojtyla, focusing on his works The Acting Person and Love and Responsibility. The study begins by examining the freedom as characteristic of the human person according to the order of being, and then turns its attention to the authentic understanding of freedom precisely as freedom for the good. The freedom of the human person is finally considered as the foundation of responsibil-ity.
