A Modern Man Standing in the Tradition of Catholic Platonism

A Modern Man Standing in the Tradition of Catholic Platonism

"The title itself of this book, The Acting Person, shows it is not a discourse on action in which the person is presupposed. We have followed a different line of experience and understanding. For us action reveals the person, and we look at the person through his action. For it lies in the nature of the correlation inherent in experience, in the very nature of man's acting, that action constitutes the specific moment whereby the person is revealed. Action gives us the best insight into the inherent essence of the person and allows us to understand the person most fully. We experience man as a person, and we are convinced of it because he performs actions."
-Karol Wojtyla, The Acting Person, p.11
