Abstract:
This panel aims to explore the role and relevance of Christian anthropology as a fundamental basis for ethical responses to the challenges of contemporary postmodern societies. As secularization, moral relativism, and cultural fragmentation increasingly define the modern age, Christian anthropology, rooted in the belief that human beings are created in the image and likeness of God, provides a comprehensive framework for understanding human dignity, freedom, and social responsibility. Through a multidisciplinary approach, integrating philosophy, theology, and the social sciences, this panel will discuss how Christian anthropology can guide ethical reflection and practice in addressing social issues, relationships, and the common good. The session will also examine the challenges and opportunities of applying these principles in today's pluralistic and diverse cultural landscape.


In a time of ethical confusion and cultural fragmentation, Christian anthropology offers a compelling and holistic vision of the human person. Its principles of dignity, freedom, and communion provide a solid foundation for ethical reflection and action in postmodern societies. By addressing contemporary challenges—from moral relativism to social justice—Christian anthropology serves as a beacon of hope and a guide for building authentic human relationships, promoting the common good, and fostering societies that honor the truth of the human person.
This panel invites scholars, practitioners, and interested participants to engage in a rich and multidisciplinary dialogue on the role of Christian anthropology in responding to the ethical and cultural challenges of our time.
