Os afetos na conjugalidade contemporânea: uma abordagem a partir do pensamento de Karol Wojtyla

Abstract

It highlights the affections in contemporary conjugality based on an approach to Karol Wojtyla's thought. It demonstrates from a historical clipping the thought of important theorists in the field of conjugality, as well as examines the Wojtilian contributions presenting its topicality. The methodological option was the narrative review, whose mobilized axes were: bibliographic research, consisting of the examination, survey and analysis of the existing material on the subject, national and foreign books and scientific articles. The results suggest that conjugal relations are a privileged place for the emergence and development of affections. The body, in Wojtylian thought is conceived as the language of the person, which within the man-woman relationship reaffirms its spousal sense. It is observed that the general objective was met, because effectively the work was able to demonstrate that through the reflection and discussion of the various aspects of reflection, affections, in most authors, are the origin and basis of conjugal relationships. Karol Wojtyla's reflection on man finds in the "personalist principle" its key point, from which he tries to recover the concept of person. He perceives an inadequate distinction between individual and person, which makes it impossible to adequately interpret the being of man and woman. By giving an enhancement to individuality and denying the interpersonal dimension.
