Más allá de la Ilustración francesael humanismo polaco de Karol Wojtyła (2ª Parte)

Resumo

After becoming professor of the Chair of Ethics at the University of Lublin (Poland), the young Karol Wojtyła would participa- te in the notable and ambitious project of reformulating Enlightenment ideals undertaken by a group of professors from the Department of Phi- losophy who viewed the French Enlightenment as a milestone to be surpassed and especially the need to go beyond a type of deficient reason, that revealed the impossibility of establishing a fruitful dialogue with other areas of knowledge. This project of formulating a complete humanism without amputations was to remain vital to him for the rest of his life, as may be seen explicitly in his last work, published a month be- fore his death: Memory and Identity: Conversations on the Edge of Two Millennia (2005), a work that has enormous philosophical depth and in a way can be considered the intellectual heritage of a man who lived through numerous forms of depersonalizations and wanted to offer the world a complete model of humanism, the fruit of the collective expe- rience of his homeland.
