The human being is today at the center of scientific social ethical and philosophical
debates. The Human Condition-in-the-unity-of-everything-there-is-alive under whose aegis the
present selection of essays falls offers the urgently needed new approach to reinvestigating
humanness. While recent advances in the neurosciences genetics and bio-engineering challenge
the traditional abstract conception of human nature indicating its transformability thus
putting in question the main tenets of traditional philosophical anthropology in the new
perspective of the Human Creative Condition the human individual is seen in its emergence and
unfolding within the dynamic networks of the logos of life and within the evolution of living
types. Just the same the creative logos of the mind lifts the human person into a sphere of
freedom. Within the networks of the logos we retrieve the classical principles - human subject
ego self body soul person - reinterpret them to counter the naturalistic critique
(Tymieniecka). Thus principles of a new philosophical anthropology satisfying the requirements
of the present time are laid down.
