The above text consists of two parts. The first one contains translation of 40 theses of Martin Luther of 14 of January 1536, called Dispute Concerning Man written down for the Wittenberg University. The second part contains the commentary. It should be noted that Luther`s text enclosed here in full corresponds with The 95 Theses of 31th of October, 1517. The author of the Comment remarks, that Aristotle`s rational philosophical concept of man has its limits of theological nature. Theology formulates the tasks of reason that, despite the decay of man, must still perform its tasks, whereas theology overcomes one-sidedness of rationalism, pointing out to the aim and formulating the sense of human life that is impossible without reference to God. These problems are dealt with in the second part of the abovementioned forty theses, 20-40. There appears a clear thought, that while fighting with his own peccability, man depends on grace (sola gratia). Here L. refers to Paul`s Letter to the Romans (3, 28) and his commentary of Psalm 51. The further part of the commentary includes specific parts of the 40 theses, arranged respectively. In the concluding part, particular contemporary concepts of human being are listed, and, at the same time, general wider perspective of Lutheran concept of man is revealed.
