Metaphysics is probably the most significant interpretation of the fundamental situation of man, called by Heidegger being-in-the—world (In-der-welt-sein). The sense of metaphysics consists of transcending, by man’s consciousness, the totality of the world as well as himself. Man is not only a part of the world, not only inside of it, but also outside of it through his openness and consciousness. He is intimately present in everything he knows and feels. But above all, he is free; he is not determined by the necessity of ethical and social good, because he must define and determine himself, as if all the possibilities depended on him. That is why Karol Wojtyła calls rightly man “irreducible” to any cosmological metaphysics.
