Problem podmiotowości osoby w ujęciu filozoficznym Wojciecha Słomskiego

In philosophy, the man is conceived as a subject that can give true meaning to objects and events taking place, as a result of which he constantly creates himself. In addition to that, there are no criteria of external character which the man would be able to discover and, on their basis, mark the scope of his own responsibility. Furthermore, there are no external institutions either to which the man would be responsible because the only way to which he should be responsible is himself. According to Professor Wojciech Słomski the development of modern societies contributes to the complication of a network of mutual dependences. This situation also makes it difficult to identify an entity responsible for that as well as whom we are responsible to. An element which forces the man to responsibility is the truth. The fact that the ideas on the concept of the truth are important, not only from the philosophical point of view as they constitute for each one of us individually and for all of us together an indispensable element of orientation in the world which surrounds us, just proves how much it is worth. Today we assume that the truth comes from knowledge obtained from natural sciences, and the contradictions that arise at the interface between science and religion only make us seek the truth and understanding for the element of true knowledge even more. As it turns out, however, there is a growing circle of supporters who assume that both philosophy as well as other sciences without any major problems will cope without the truth and objective reality, which eventually blurs the line between strictly scientific theory and philosophy.
