On Some Anthropological Foundations of Spirituality

Abstract

Taking into account today’s progression towards a better notion of spirituality, the development of universal anthropological foundations is of vital importance. They can be found in the classical metaphysical understanding of the human mind. From a practical point of view, spirituality expresses itself in the way people think and behave. To better understand the anthropological foundations of spirituality, we will begin by examining two ways of discovering reality: intuition of being and intuition of good. Looking at these intuitions will give us a better understanding of the issues pertaining to spirituality with its self-transcending dynamism.
