The present atricle that consists of two parts shows the reasons for this. John Paul II, like the French philosopher, considers that a complete confinement within the bounds of reason – the culture of immanence – results in sick democracies, and ultimately in totalitarianisms (part I). The experience of our century and millennium, coming to their ends, points to the fact that reason needs faith. The Peter of our times thinks that contemporary culture needs the God of the Bible, it needs personalism stemming from the Bible, whose distinguished representative is E. Levinas (part 2).plAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Polandhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/pl/Emmanuel LevinasfilozofiaphilosophyBibliaBibleStary TestamentOld Testamentfilozofia obliczaspotkanie twarzą w twarzface-to-face encounterspotkaniemeetingtwarzfaceepifania twarzyepiphany of the facekultura immanencjiculture of immanenceKarol WojtyłaJan Paweł IIJohn Paul IIpapieżepopesencounterimmanencjaimmanenceArticle
