Abstract

The book Understanding the Person by Grzegorz Hołub is an attempt to reconstruct the philosophy of Karol Wojtyła. It presents such topics as the genesis of Wojtyła’s philosophy of the person, his epistemology and metaphysics of the person, as well as his position on consciousness, emotions, action and the dignity of the person. The multiplicity and versatility of the issues examined allow not only to reconstruct Wojtyła’s personalistic theory, but also to propose new directions for its development – including, for instance, a metaphysics of the person, a phenomenological analysis or a neuroscientific approach. To this end, social network theory could also be employed to extend the personalistic theory with a social, practical dimension of interpersonal relations and with a practical analysis of such phenomena as, for example, freedom, responsibility, solidarity, love and justice. This, in turn, would provide a reliable social dimension to a philosophy of the person.
