The author in the introduction shows the need to reflect on social relations. He uses the desk research method with the help of a literature query on the subject and he carries the topic through the prism of sociology, psychology and philosophy. Relating the subject considerations to these disciplines creates the basis for an approach from the perspective of Catholic social teaching. This point of view allows for the articulation of basic social principles which are solidarity, the common weal and subsidiarity. These social principles have a common denominator, which is the dignity of the human being. As the basis of the principles of social life, it is both natural and supernatural. The dignity of the human person is recognized as a universal value. It is the basis of other social principles because it defines the subject of social relations. On the other hand, social relations in social work are governed by the principles of social work, which have been present in Polish practice and theory of social work for almost a hundred years. The author of this paper indicates selected threads of the Polish tradition of social work. These principles are not only purely theoretical, but also apply to the practice of social work. The main goal is to help individuals and families to strengthen or regain the ability to function in society. It is possible by fulfilling appropriate social roles and creating conditions that favor this goal. Based on the catalog of social work principles, the author analyzes their relationship between the social principles and Catholic social teaching. The conducted theoretical reflection leads the author to the conclusion that the principles of social work are compatible with the principles of social life of Catholic social teaching and should be an inspiration for social work in Polish reality.

Autor artykułu we wstępie przedstawia potrzebę refleksji nad relacjami społecznymi. Posługuje się metodą desk resarch za pomocą kwerendy literatury przedmiotu z zakresu socjologii, psychologii i filozofii. Odniesienie rozważań przedmiotowych do tych dyscyplin tworzy bazę do ujęcia z perspektywy katolickiej nauki społecznej. Perspektywa katolickiej nauki społecznej pozwala na wyartykułowanie podstawowych zasad społecznych. Są nimi zasada solidarności, dobra wspólnego i pomocniczości. Mają one wspólny mianownik, którym jest godność osoby ludzkiej. Jako podstawa zasad życia społecznego ma zarówno charakter naturalny, jak i nadprzyrodzony. Godność osoby ludzkiej uznaje się za wartość powszechną. Jest podstawą innych zasad społecznych, ponieważ określa podmiot relacji społecznych. Relacje społeczne w pracy socjalnej są regulowane przez zasady pracy socjalnej, które były obecne w polskiej praktyce i teorii pracy socjalnej od prawie stu lat. Autor sygnalizuje wybrane wątki polskiej tradycji pracy socjalnej. Te zasady nie mają charakteru tylko czysto teoretycznego, lecz dotyczą także sfery praktyki pracy socjalnej. Mają na celu pomoc osobom i rodzinom we wzmacnianiu lub odzyskiwaniu zdolności do funkcjonowania w społeczeństwie. Jest to możliwe poprzez pełnienie odpowiednich ról społecznych oraz tworzenie warunków sprzyjających temu celowi. Na podstawie katalogu zasad pracy socjalnej autor analizuje ich związek z zasadami społecznymi katolickiej nauki społecznej. Refleksja teoretyczna prowadzi autora do wniosku, iż zasady pracy socjalnej są kompatybilne z zasadami życia społecznego katolickiej nauki społecznej i powinny być inspiracją w pracy socjalnej w polskiej rzeczywistości.

The purpose of this article is to give the evidence that the anthropology of imago Dei could be considered as the groundwork for the common anthropology valid for the whole Christianity and it also depicts the vision of man as the answer to the demands of every human being of the postmodernism epoch. The starting point of our reflection is the fact of the return of the interest in anthropology in the 20th century among the theologians of the three great Christian denominations: Orthodox, Protestant and Catholic. When in the 20th century the ecumenical movement appeared, theological anthropology, which both joins and divides Churches, became very crucial and still it is getting more and more important. After many years of ecumenical dialogues we can affirm that, despite the differences, all Christians understand man as a imago Dei – the image of God. He was not only created as such, but has always been, despite the original sin. Man is the image of God One in the Holy Trinity who lives in mutual relations, that is why human being is also highly relational. He lives in the relation with God, with another human being, and with the created world over which he was appointed as the master and manager. All Christian Churches which took part in the ecumenical dialogue agree that the source of this anthropology is the Bible; they will also agree about the original sin and his consequences for the human nature considered in the light of Jesus Christ; finally, they will agree on imago Dei as the foundation of the personal dignity of man. There are still differences, the questions that require more theological work, for example distinction between image and likeness; the concept of theosis – deification present in the orthodox theology and considered as problematic by the protestant theology; the Churches teaching about the ordination of women and homosexuality. At the end of the article we have some examples of the perspectives that give the anthropology of the image of God. This concept of human can help to overcome the contemporary crisis of anthropology, the result of the postmodernism. This anthropology also claims that all Christian Churches are able to give the common answer to the ethics questions such as abortion, euthanasia or genetic manipulations. The author also suggests that all Christian Churches, as the starting point and foundation, should take not only the Bible, but the anthropology of the Fathers of Church as well.
