Summary/Abstract: This paper is aimed to present Kazimierz Wais’ considerations on the concept of the origin of man. Kazimierz Wais (1865-1934) was a Polish philosopher and theologian, a professor at the Uni- versity of L’viv. In his publications, Wais criticized the purely naturalistic theory of the origin of man and presented a posi- tive theory not inconsistent with the Biblical description; he also commented on the issue of the origin of human soul. His views were strongly affected by neo-Thomistic philosophy. The paper shows Wais’ attempts to prove the harmony of science and faith regarding the origin of man. His reflections are presented and critically commented.
