Abstract

Personalistic moral formation is universal because it refers to the truth about man as a person. It leads first to Christian values, but in principle it refers to something fundamental, i.e., to the inner capacities specific to every human being, believer or not. This is why the concept of the person occupies a very important place in the foundations of personalistic moral formation. The individual decisions of the moral formation process depend on it. Moral formation, then, appears to be the most prosopoic way of transmitting values, i.e., shaping a person of high quality. A special role is played here by a person who, as it has already been stressed, is a cognitive model, a method of constructing knowledge, and above all a place and a way of connecting the human person with the Person of Christ. Personalism correlates with the whole nature of morality. It is a method that brings the truths of faith and morality closer to the existence of a particular person; it makes them close to his mind and heart and respond to the deepest needs of a person’s life. Furthermore, the personalistic moral formation is not limited to the ways of transmitting faith and morality but will seek ways of self-comprehension, self-interpretation and self-upbringing of the students and ways of understanding the contemporary world, history, life, community, culture in light of the Person of Christ.
