Description
Summary:Abstract The Authors discussed the basic truths of Pope John Paul II's personalistic philosophy, upbringing in the light of the philosophy of christian personalism and the significance of educational values in the Pope's teachings. Material and methods An analysis of chosen doctrines connected with health. The analyses used documents and teachings of John Paul II, bishop and professor Karol Wojtyła's papers on ethics and other papers on the teachings of the Pope. Results The Pope saw the task of rasing the young generaton in conveying the proper hierarchy of values, with health seen as a gift, appreciation for it as respecting it in every person and multiplying it as a common and personal good. Conclusions John Paul II accentuated the dignity of every person, and build upon it the notion of health in a perspective of salvation, inseparable from spiritual and moral health. The Pope incorporated health in the strict hierarchy of christian values.
