Sažetak
Starting with the Christian-theological category of the imago Dei, called anthropological-eccentric by the author, because the human being as a person can understand something also outside of boundaries of mere manifestation of his/her »I«, hence in God as »non-I«, which makes the human »I« stabile and integral. The author also wants to critically reflect on psychological and sociological positivistic-reductionist images of the human being, whose basis for defining the human being is found in certain structural-natural stratums or social functions of the human being, while calling such partial approach anthropologically concentric. While the concept of imago Dei emphasises what is integral, fundamental, and theological in the human being, the concept of homo simpliciter understands the human being in a scientific-methodological way in his/her mere manifested, bio-psycho-social concentricity and segmentation of himself/herself. The first two chapters present the Christian-anthropological determination of the categories of the image of God and person in the most basic way, while in the continuation of the article the author reflects critically on ways in which the image of the human being is »scientifically created« in the psychological and sociological sense. In the last chapter the author poses the question of how the human being could be personalised realistically and optimally, and socialised on the basis of aforementioned »scientific images« of him/her, if he/she is understood only as homo simpliciter.
