Thomistic Personalism
Karol Wojtyla
Thomas Aquinas - Opis:
- Altogether these papers demonstrate not only the degree to which Wojtyła relied on Aquinas’s anthropology, ethics and metaphysics, but also the insightfulness of Wojtyła’s arguments that the truth about the human person needs Thomistic personalism. As I’ve argued else-where, this is particularly the case given that the ubiquity of today’s secularism has left many unable to conceive that the wonders of nature have a divine cause, that missionaries have a divine wisdom worth hearing, and that love is more than a feeling. The secular person seeks comfort—not in God nor in self-transcending love—but in materialistic concerns or non-theistic and self-centered spiritualities. For, as John Paul II has pointed out, humans are attempting to live as if there is no God. The misery that inevitably results opens the door to searching for the better way offered by Thomistic personalism. However, more work by Thomistic personalists is necessary, especially in the realms of psychology, anthropology, family studies, personalist feminism, meta-physics, and ethics in the individual, commercial, social, cultural, and political realms.
