Abstract

In his last book, Piotr Stanisław Mazur deals with the problems of classical metaphysics, trying to update, extend and authenticate it, especially in relation to philosophical anthropology, which would be built on its foundations. This interest in metaphysics as knowledge of the totality of reality examined in the aspect of an existing being has several reasons. The most important of these include the contemporary critique of classical metaphysics and the more and more frequently raised questions about how to understand the reality of existence. In his latest book, Mazur attempts to defend Thomistic metaphysics by pointing to its new, cognitive possibilities related to the foundations of anthropology. It formulates a number of questions about human existence, and more specifically what is the specificity of human existence and what characterizes it.
