The Structure of a Person as the Basis for Determining the Common Good as Understood by Mieczysław A. Krąpiec
Journal Title: Studia Gilsoniana - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
The author makes an attempt to analyze the anthropological views of Mieczysław A. Krąpiec in order to show the reasons why some elements of the structure of man as a person—resulting from the human mode of access to truth, goodness, beauty and religion—are essentially significant for determining the common good that lies at the foundation of all forms of human social life. He analyzes such parts of the human person’s structure as intellectual knowledge, will for the good, love, religion, personal dignity, ontic completeness and legal subjectivity.
