Christian personalism accepts, first of all, the principles of belief and professes the philosophy which is compatible with that belief. Human life is not possible without a community, i.e., in total isolation, however, one cannot also profess here another extreme view that reputedly man cannot find fulfilment without these relations, and what follows it, his life does not have to limit only to living with others, and also it does not restrict to functioning in the community. Since it turns out that both individualism and a personal life are equally essential here. One should also care about the personal life which not always has to be connected with co-existence with different individuals. However, for this view is essential to find suitable centering for both these attitudes and adopting this one which allows to develop fully. It is interesting that part of the experts on the subject who also try to make characteristics of the theoretical model believe that personalism in Mounier’s perspective cannot be perceived for Christian personalism, however, it assumes that Christianity is one of these elements which are indispensable to improve a social life.

According to professor Słomski, personalism is a juxtaposition of many currents which simultaneously concern human being in every way, the meaning in the world around him, and relation with the surroundings. This is a certain kind of an innovatory approach because so far it was commonly believed that not every current concerning human being can be discussed in the context of personalism and not each of them adjusts to it. Additionally, Professor Słomski has emphasized in this way that personalism can be treated as one of the components of Christian philosophy and can determine its range. Moreover, for Wojciech Słomski all the premises creating contemporary personalism can be a cause for which it can be treated as a comprehensive, very essential philosophical system which a key task is a desire to get an answer to urgent questions and social issues appearing in the present world. The exceptionality of professor Słomski’s conception is contained, first of all, in the way of perception of personalism as a tool which makes possible getting the answer to questions appearing contemporarily. It happens so mainly because along with the civilization progress and social development, and undergoing global tendencies, social problems gain a completely new dimension which practically has not existed so far.

Słomski defining philosophy of the XXIst century recognizes that in order to understand it, it is necessary to define how those threats, resulted first of all from the technological progress and transformations caused by this progress, were defined earlier. Personalism in Słomski’s perspective is the compilation of various currents which deal with the individual and his relations with surroundings, and also these ones which say about the individual in the wider context. However, the key currents which made the largest impression on him are as follows: Christian thought, Marxism and existentialism. Słomski has drawn the biggest inspiration simply from them, and believed thereby that the whole truth was contained in those currents. The truth on how the individual should be perceived contemporarily and with what problems is supposed to cope, and thereby he is able to define which factors determine the individual and influence his situation, worldview, and the system of values which he is guided by in his life. According to Professor Słomski, the present personalism can be treated as a certain kind of a comprehensive philosophical system. However, its the most important task and aim is an attempt to give an answer to appearing more and more often new social problems on which one using philosophy, ethics or other sciences dealing with such issues so far cannot get the answer. It happens so mainly because along with the civilization progress, and the social development and undergoing global tendencies, social problems gain a completely new dimension which practically has not existed so far.

Freedom for every human being is what allows him to behave and act as a person, and simultaneously it is in the centre of his life. It makes up his asylum, mysteries, and heart at the same time, and also is the sense of values professed by him and the whole sense of his life. Due to it, it also becomes one of more important and key problems of every man irrespective of how he approaches the issue of freedom and in what way he perceives it. Professor Słomski believes that although personalism is philosophy based on man, it unceasingly also draws from different currents which help to perceive man in a decidedly wider context. Due to it one can also assume that practically every philosophy which considers individuals can be treated as personalistic, even if this current will be Marxism. Such an approach caused that also in Professor Słomski’s philosophy there are present references to Marxism and existentialism, which are collated with Christian personalism.

One of the practical perspectives of personalism is economic personalism which is characterized, first of all, by adopting rules binding economy to human needs, expectations and capabilities. As a result, economy also becomes a completely different, decidedly more friendly field which is determined by several new conditions. With the help of personalism the individual is able to set his goals, define himself, his needs and establish tasks which he should place.. The feeling of exceptionality, uniqueness, and above all, the role which the given individual plays in the whole surrounding reality is also important here. Additionally, it allows to define characteristic features for the individual, evaluating his strengths and weaknesses, and it also allows to define the way one can improve himself and his achievements as well as develop incessantly and constantly strive for perfection. The fact that the individual is a connection between the material and immaterial world in personalism causes that he can feel exceptionally, he can realize that he is responsible both for himself and the others. Personalism also brings to our attention the necessity of overcoming our own fears against excessive integration and calls not to give our whole independence and integrality for the benefit of the community. It turns out that if the individual gives himself up, his independence and freedom of choice, he might bear numerous consequences which can influence his way of perception of reality, himself and his role in the world.
