The author sketches the course of the philosophical activity of Karol Wojtyła, pope John Paul II, stressing his constant attitude of seeking the experiential sources of our insights and showing the development of his perfectioristic personalism, i.e. of his understanding of the being of a human person as essentially consisting in moral development through of his or her free and conscious actions. This insight made Karol Wojtyła postulate an exploration of our lived experience in order to substantiate man’s view of himself, and thus, in a way, to unite the philosophy of being with the philosophy of consciousness.
