Personalism is commonly thought of as one of the most important standpoints in the history of ethical thought. Nevertheless, it is difficult to give a precise definition of the term due to numerous and often intermingling varieties of personalistic thought, for example, Christian, radical, or liberal personalism, to mention a few. The aim of the present paper is a more detailed analysis of personalistic theory. The problem is important as personalism, next to utilitarianism, is one of the most influential ethical currents nowadays.
