Summary/Abstract: Theological anthropology occupies an important place in the extensive work of Romano Guardini (1885–1968). The thinking of the German thinker can be included in the current of dialogical personalism of the 20th century, which brought many stimuli for deepening the view of human existence. Guardini creatively develops this inspiration and, at the same time, continues the classical theological tradition represented especially by the work of St. Augustine and Bonaventure. The article attempts to show that, in Guardini’s thinking, the relational conception of the human person is closely connected with Trinitarian theology. Only in the light of faith in the Triune God does the dialogical essence of human existence become clearer.
