THE TRANSCENDENTAL DIMENSION OF CHRISTIAN ANTHROPOLOGY

Philosophic anthropology, but also Christian anthropology, has man at its heart, as a rational being leading his existence consciously turned to a final goal. If for philosophy the final goal of human existence is the acquisition of performances activated in the sphere of materiality, for Christianism man has metaphysical qualities, which once actualized transfigure him, giving him the state of holiness. In the act of the creation, God reveals His love for man. Man is a partner of God and a continuator of the creation. In the framework of this special relation, a process of change also takes place for man, in the sense that by the divine energy or the grace, man rationalizes and coordinates the whole world. Axis and dimension of the material and spiritual world, with elements coming from both, man has been created cons ting of: body and soul, to have in this way an existence that begins with the material world, but is accomplished in the spiritual world. Man's whole discovery is accomplished in Christ, who comprises in Himself the humanity united to the divinity with a view to purification, therefore the result of His work is also an accomplishment of the humanity, which, sanctified, reveals its true meaning.
