The author compares the anthropology of Karol Wojtyla as developed in his main philosophical work 'The acting person' with the vision of the human person found in 'La conscience', the analysis of man's being conscious carried out by the eminent French psychiatrist Henri Ey. He tries to show that Wojtyla's conception of man as a person who develops morally through his or her free actions is confirmed by the results of psychiatric investigation. Psychiatry, as the pathology of human freedom, has access to the inner mechanisms of human actions; these mechanisms become discernible only during the process of their disintegration. This is therefore an original way of understanding the acting person.
