Trendy cywilizacyjne wobec homoseksualizmu w kontekście koncepcji człowieka
Civilizational Trends vs. Homosexuality in the Context of the Conception of a Human Being

Summary/Abstract: The text presents a discussion on homosexuality, the status of which is newly defi ned by modern societies. The basic etiological aspects of homosexuality in forms of a biological determinants model and a psychological-environmental model were presented. The description of these models was associated with anthropological refl ection on a human being, rarely undertaken directly in a refl ection on homosexuality. Two different anthropological concepts connected with etiologic models were presented: mechanistic-reductionist approach seems to dominate the perception of homosexuality through the lens of biological agents, while the personal approach (V.E. Frankl) is associated with the model described as a psychological-environmental one. The last part of the text contains a discussion on the right of an individual to change a sexual orientation and dangers of freedom restrictions resulting from promotion of so called affi rmative therapy.
