Antropologiczno-biblijna interpretacja wstydu seksualnego w świetle Jana Pawła II teologii

Abstract

A feeling of the sexual shame is one of the important elements of shaping a proper moral attitude. In theology of body, which was presented by John Paul II, it takes the essential place. It has got a theoretical - cognitive quality. It shows an anthropological interpretation, which as a starting point has a biblical text about the creation of a man. The shame uncover a change of a man’s relation to God and the world after the original sin. It also seveals the person’s value, first of all transcedention of a person in relation to time, in relation to empiricism and in relation to existential, subjective selfconsciousness of a man. It is an immanent shame and simultaneously a relative shame, because a man reacts to inappriopriate reference to God and to the other man. It is seen very cleary in the man-woman relation. In this relation the sexual shame shows a distortion of the person’s communion, to which a man and a woman are qualified by God. There is a possibility of overcoming the shame and it is defined by law of the shame absorption by love.
