The third Lublin days of Personalism
“Personalism and Person
in the Thought of Karol Wojtyła/
John Paul II”
The John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin
Al. Racławickie 14 20-950. Lublin / 24-25 October 2013
Karol Wojtyła had a great impact not
only in 20th-century history but also
on religious, cultural, scientific, political, etc. aspects of life. The Catholic
University of Lublin, where Wojtyła
lectured for 25 years, is organising
a Congress (24-25 October 2013),
which will be devoted to Wojtyła’s
main intellectual passion – the issue
of a person and personalism. The
organisers are not merely interested
in the presentation of Wojtyła’s anthropological views but rather in an
in-depth analysis of the assumptions
of his version of personalism and the
results of its application to various
aspects of reality.
The Congress will include three
topic groups
The first topic group will comprise
the origin, sources of inspiration, beginnings, motives, first ideas, background, i.e. everything that Wojtyła’s
personalism as an intellectual
attitude and a system of thought
stemmed from. We will concentrate
on literary activity, writings of John
of the Cross, St. Thomas’s thought,
Scheler’s thought, mysticism and
prayer, theatrical and cultural activities, priesthood, spiritual and

interpersonal experience as well as
biographical and historical motives.
As a result, an outline of the method
will appear.
The second topic group will concern
methodology. Why did Wojtyła look
for support for the truth about a
person in the philosophy of being
and consciousness? Is a person’s
hermeneutics through Wojtyłaspecific method of personalism? Did
he identify an object with a person?
Why does ethics need anthropology
as personology? How did Wojtyła
solve the problem of dichotomy between substantialist and relational
concept of the human person? What
are the consequences of Wojtyła’s
hermeneutic method for connecting
metaphysical and ethical personalism? Since there can be only one
personalism, what aspects does
Karol Wojtyła’s personalism have?
Can metaphysics be replaced with
ethics? What is the relation between
ethical personalism and personalistic ethics?
The third topic group will be devoted to the specificity of Wojtyła’s
personalism, its application and
relevance. The following issues will
appear here: personalism as a meth-
odological tool, a tool of criticism
of anthropological and humanistic
trends, ethical personalism as a tool
which is helpful in solving general
and specific human problems, theology of the body as the highest form
of theology of the human person,
education and culture in the key of a
person and personalism.
Please note that in Wojtyła’s thought
a person’s perspective and principles of personalism are dominating
and decisive when it comes to the
most significant issues.
