- Abstract
Franciszek Sawicki was one of the most important Polish philosophers of the first half of the 20th century, and his ideas influenced Karol Wojtyla, among others. His thinking includes a personalist anthropology that takes into consideration the entirety of the human being. Sawicki characterized the world he lived in as pessimistic and obsessed with progress in a way that leads to irrational relativist views. These ideas end up by creating a new ethics and religion that emphasize what is perceived through the senses. The solution to this crisis will be found, according to Sawicki, first through a defence of the soul and the richness of the human being's inner life, and secondly through trusting fully in what is human: that is to say, human reason, human will and the senses of man. In this way a human personality appears which resembles the one that the Church proposes when it looks to Christ as a model.
