Онтолошката преобразба како антрополошко-метафизичка реалност на човековото битие

Abstract

The current situation in the world introduces, tries to define, analyzes and inserts man under the veil of various views, understandings and contexts. Despite that, the common understanding and perception of the human being is of that he in reality is an individual. In addition to this, the human being is also a person, which is a more complex and unique definition of his human nature. The orthodox anthropology suggests that his nature is a unified whole, composed of both internal and external elements, defining him as unitas multiplex. Anthropologically speaking, he is the only one that can enter the depths of his own existence via the human self-perception in respect of the other created beings. In that way, he is able to visibly emerge from the simplicity of the tangible reality that surrounds him, because he is created unusual and in no way as simple, but rather extraordinary in his complex psychosomatic nature. That is why he cannot be reduced to simple bios, nor can death be seen as his culmination, because, as a God’s creation, he is not just a simple set of cells, but much more. The ecclesiological-theological vision, in fact, reminds us that, only in Christ, through the holy sacrament of baptism, the human being can seize a new state of existence, that is, transfiguration into a person, because, through the Holy Baptism, he acquires a new way of existence through which he is configured ontologically from a human being into an ecclesiological hypostasis and precisely because of this he becomes a person, living and growing spiritually in the Church of Christ, offered to everyone by God through the power of the Holy Spirit.
