Sažetak

This article deals with the problematization of the understanding of the postmodern secularization processes according to the the Italian theologian Ignazio Sanna. Seeking to penetrate the very merits of the historical-social phenomenon of secularization that culminates in the current civilization of progress, Sanna critically reveals the ambivalence of the same phenomenon, given the crisis of the contemporary man who experiences a lack of meaning and an alienation from his spiritual essence. The postmodern man becomes identityless, either because of the superficiality of his self-understanding or because of the onesided scientific-reductionist approach to the humanum. With critical remarks at the expense of secularization processes, Sanna strives to find links to which Christian discourse and response to the same challenges could connect, as contemporary opinions lack a fundamental and connective moment of understanding of the human being. He himself, therefore, advocates a possibly more complete Christian anthropology which, without losing anything essential of its content, wants to be open to the general anthropological scientific discourse.
