Sažetak
This article points out to the anthropological foundations of culture in Karol Wojtyła with an extension to his pontificate. The introductory part of the article emphasizes the importance of the human being as the one who is at the center of every culture. This aims to emphasize the importance and connection between anthropology and culture. In this context, versus partial anthropologies, the importance of Wojtyła’s integral anthropology is put on display, as the one that - without abolishing the constitutive dimensions of the human person, including transcendence, self-determination, integration, the participatory dimension - leads to the understanding of the human being as a person. Starting from this fact, it is pointed out that it is possible to become more human through culture, and how cultura sequitur humanu. Culture is presented as a locus of human self-realization through actions, shaping reality in and around himself. A culture that considers man in all his constitutive dimensions is a culture that can be open to the Absolute. In conclusion, the syntagm gratia supponit culturam is offered, which seeks to emphasize that the reality of divine grace is brought into relation with the category of human culture in order to perfect it.
