Niezbywalny i ciągle aktualny wkład Karla Rahnera SJ (1904- 1984) do współczesnej antropologii teologicznej Indestructible And Always Current Contribution of Karl Rahner SJ (1904- 1984) to the Contemporary Theological Anthropology
Karl Rahner is undoubtedly one of the greatest theologians of the twentieth
century. He has influenced and is still having an impact on its shape and trends.
It can be seen from the example of his theological anthropology. His vision
of a man is decidedly theological and perceived as such becomes the most
important foundation of anthropology. The message of faith constitutes the
highest standard and an unregulated signifi cant expression of a man. Theological
interpretation of its essence occurs in the historical and living conditions
of dependency and inadequacy of a man. A man is a supernatural existential
(übernatürliches Existential), so as a being is qualified to grace by nature, to
the supernatural, and finally defined by that reality. The most important event
in human life is the fact that God turned to him and revealed him. It allows
to read all theological dogmas as statements of anthropology. A man is in
fact the point of intersection of God’s revelation and historical experience of
himself. For Rahner a man in his deepest essence is a spirit in the world and a
hearer of God’s words, a recipient of his revelation possible for recognition by
the natural mind. A man is also potentia oboedientialis – an active potency to
show God the obedience of faith and love as his supernatural grace. According
to Rahner, Christology is the most radical, exceeding everything repetition of
theological anthropology. Rahner starts his reflection in the field of theological anthropology from a man and his experience, in order to demonstrate that a
man does not exist without God, moreover, a man is unthinkable. In the era of
postmodern blurring of the essential philosophical and theological concepts
this German theologian presents the basic truth about the legitimacy of being
a Christian, the beauty of humanity relies on God, and also about the nonsense
and tragedy of atheism. The whole theological thought and activity of Karl
Rahner served to demonstrate the falsity and harm of theoretical as well as
existential dimension of atheism. A man confirms by every act of his being,
thinking and wanting that there is a God who loves his creation.
