Modern virtual culture is, despite many new possibilities for interpersonal connections, alienated. Alienation poses a challenge to both theology and anthropology, as this phenomenon extends to all areas of human life. Interpersonal alienation, which escalates in different areas of living, thus raises questions about the possibilities of finding the foundations for the re-evaluation of a person, interpersonal and social relationships, which is undoubtedly a great challenge we face. In the article, we will look at how Karol Wojtyła perceives a person, interpersonal relationships, and community, and based on his findings, try to find a foundation for overcoming alienation. We will focus on the concept of participation, which he developed in his extensive oeuvre, and which, in our view, provides an excellent foundation for the answers to the challenges of contemporary culture.
