Teologia pracy w nauczaniu Jana Pawła II

The human being is in the centre of John Paul II’s discussion of work. There is no work without a human being. The personalized attitude to work is in line with the ethics of work because labor or the capital employed must contribute to the benefit of humanity. The ethics of work highlights the value attached to the worker. Theology of work cannot exist without recognizing the subjective dimension of work. Work ethic is centered around man because of his and his fellowmen’s good, thus saving the worker from being abstracted from work. Work that is devoid of moral sense becomes pointless as it loses its social meaning and develops into a source of socio-economic problems.
