| Summary: | The author of this article analyses the crisis of social ties as a huge challenge for the Christian
vision of social life. Firstly, he refers to the moral and religious crisis of the postmodern
era, and the depreciation of the social status of the human. Then, he presents the
uniqueness of human being as well as potentiality. According to the Christian integral
anthropology, presented by personalism, man remains a spiritual and material coexistence.
In the last part, the author underlines the Christian idea that a society should
acknowledge the dignity of each of its members, as well as guarantee the optimal functioning
of human communities. Consequently, social procedures and institutions should
be preceded by a consensus assuring the ethical minimum. If a society does not accept
the fundamental values like: the dignity of every human being, the protection of their
life, justice, equality, solidarity, it cannot function, at least not as a community of persons. |
