This text explores the distinction between scientific anthropology and the philosophy of man, building on Karel Kosík’s thesis that science fails to capture the human being in their entirety, particularly concerning the question of truth. The author generalizes this argument to other scientific fields, using atomic physics as a key illustration. Traditional science defines the atom solely through its chemical and physical properties, thereby ignoring its vital role within a living organism. Referencing the work of A. N. Whitehead, the text emphasizes that atoms actively integrate into higher organizational structures, and their functions are influenced by the overall plan of the living body. A scientific approach that examines entities in isolation thus overlooks their inherent capacity to participate in higher forms of existence. The document highlights that while science reduces reality to partial aspects, a philosophical perspective requires grasping the broader interconnectedness of being that transcends the boundaries of individual disciplines and their methodological limitations.
