Sažetak

In this paper, which is divided into three sections, the
author is trying to show how anthropological considerations of
Stanley Lewis Jaki are determined by his philosophical realism.
The distinctiveness of this realism, which Jaki believes to be a
postulate of common sense, is on the one hand its methodological
characteristic of being marked by the perception of object as its first
methodological step, and on the other hand, its characteristic of
being moderate, i.e. appropriate to spiritual-bodily nature of mansubject.
The first section of the paper shows that the perception of
object in itself includes two distinctive traits, understanding and
consciousness, which necessarily lead to the conclusion of the
immateriality of mind. In the second section the author argues
that the denial of the fact of freedom, which is known by common
sense, is incoherent with realism, while the third section explains
how Jaki’s moderate realism points to the mystery of the relation
between body and soul, rendering all possible reductionisms of
that relation possible.
