Summary/Abstract: The most basic question which man poses in his thoughts is the question and answer about himself. What, or better said, who is man? Only a viable living creature is capable of posing this existential question, which develops in his conscious, social, cultural and spiritual way of life. I would add one more even the essential thought about man: Man is a living, human creature who is capable of loving, because he was created from love and for love. As the only being joined to the “Highest Principle of Love” man is loved (endowed) and explicitly yearns to love (bestow). In the type of love, “ordo amoris”, man becomes a true personality who realizes himself in just that social sphere of humankind, which takes place in the social environment where man lives his life. It is just this environment which influences man, forms him and places him within a particular stage of his social development.
