Karol Wojtyla's Morality of the Acting Person for Integral Humanised World

Abstract

The paper analyses the ultimate goal of human actions and choices for the realisation of Integral Humanism. It is a philosophy that cannot exclude God in the societal pursuits of peace and justice for the purpose

of achieving integral humanised world. It direct that the philosophy as specified and postulated by Karol Wojtyla (Pope John Paul II) with his phenomenology of the Acting Personis about the fulfilment of the whole person and of every person through the values and operations of responsive and responsible actions and choices. The paper posits that the world is experiencing the effects of narrow humanism in the names of moral misguided and universalistic civilization. Such concern indicates that such humanism has been closed-in on itself and not opened to the values of God's presence in human affairs. It is recognised that integral humanism could achieve apparent, responsible and meaningful successes and fulfilment when the human persons can position some organizing terrestrial realities of values with God in reference to the Otherness of Living. Adopting phenomenological method of analysis, the concludes that, following Wojtyla's phenomenology of the Acting Person and its morality which are based on the otherness of Living, the realisation and sustenance of the courses of integral humanism remain very possible when one's actions and choices are responsibly point towards God and acknowledges the tasks on which we are called “humans” with all sense of rationality and reasonability. Especially reflecting and acting towards the respect, promotion and protection of the values of otherness of living.
