Personalistic agapetology in the theoretic heritage of Czeslaw Stanislaw Bartnik

Abstract

Love, according to realistic universal personalism of Czeslaw Bartnik, is being formed from the depth of the human person, on the common way together towards the truth, good, beauty, freedom and spiritual unity. This is why love begins as activity of entire personality in its integral self-representation with all its forces and qualities, to other person. This is an unconditional giving of itself towards a spontaneous relation «to» or «towards» someone else. A giving of one person to another entirely, unconditionlly. A perfect example of this we find in the Holy Trinity, the Persons in which are defined in a full self-fulfilling love. As a guardian of the true meaning of love and its spread throughout the world is Christianity, that is trying to present love from the personalistic point of view, since love, according to its nature, can only happen between to persons. A person should be loved and dignified because of its internal essence, goodness and the mystery of its being.
