Abstract
The contemporary society witnesses the contrasting of the humanistic and scientific definitions of man, whose consequences are felt whenever a person reflects upon himself, the world and God. The article presents the views of a well-known Croatian neurosurgeon Ante Matković. His ambition was to start an interdisciplinary dialogue between the natural sciences, philosophy and theology. In the first part of the article we present the weaknesses of the scientific concept of person in the boundaries of materialistic worldview and the reductionist method. In the second part, we present the key points of the reflection of dr. Matković: he does not neglect the multilayered reality of the human person, and does not a priori reject human soul as something needles and scientifically outdated. In the conclusion, some ideas are offered as an encouragement for a further development of the interdisciplinary dialogue.
