The social dimension of the person according to the Christian religious personalism of Czeslaw Stanislaw Bartnik

Abstract

Since the time of Boethius (480-524) it has become common practice to speak of the human person as an individuality, its uniqueness, peculiarity. But to this day, many reject personalism in order to save the social dimension of man, focusing primarily on the community as such. Meanwhile, it is increasingly noticed that a person, being a separate substance in the physical plane, has a common nature for all human individuals, because they all belong to the same community of people. And it is not only human nature that unites all people into one community, but the person himself is essentially dialectical, that is, individual and at the same time social.
