The paper presents the understanding of the essence and the functions of consciousness in the philosophical writings of Karol Wojtyła and in the theology of the body developed by John Paul II. In his philosophy, Wojtyła uses the phenomenological method, but tries to go beyond phenomenology, combining it with metaphysics of the Aristotelian origin. In contrast to the phenomenological tradition, Wojtyła maintains that consciousness is not intentional. In this context he distinguishes between knowing something and being conscious of something. An act of knowledge puts the subject in contact with the reality that exists independently of it, whereas consciousness has two functions: it reflects the content of knowledge (refl ective function) and interiorizes it (refl exive function). According to Wojtyła, this twofold process allows the subject to arrive at the knowledge of the objective truth and at the same time reveals the normative power of truth.
