The theoretical kernel of Karol Wojty?a’s philosophy of man is represented by the intrinsic nexus “nature-person”, deep-rooted in the hearth of Christian theology (and Christological meditation): the human person possesses its nature, but it is irreducible to its nature; therefore person can integrate nature, “personalizing” it through conscious operativity. Accordingly, a peculiar dramatic tension springs up between person and its nature: human experience and human act constitute the specific field of this drama. Experience, inscribed into the dynamic of meeting another person, also reveals the inner dialogue between self-knowledge and self-consciousness. The metaphysical subjectivity is investigated in the light of a hypostatic and communional ontology: the human person is originally inscribed into communio personarum and it is destined to the transformation in Christ, i.e. metanoia and divinisation of man (Theosis).
