Filozofsko-teološko promišljanje o ljudskom postojanju i pravilnoj upotrebi moći prema Bernhardu Welteu
Philosophical and Theological Reflection of Human Existence and Proper Use of Power According to Bernhard Welte

Summary/Abstract: The article presents Bernhard Welte's philosophical and theological reflections on human existence and the proper use of power. Discourse on human power always starts with the discourse on human existence. The paper aims to present human power as a part of human existence and show how human power should be used properly within the same framework. By analyzing Welte's lecture from 1960, we conclude that power is deeply woven into human beings and represents a specific strength that only human beings possess. By its very existence, a human being is already powerful. In times of crisis, we talk about human power that often exceeds the limits of what is permissible and good. Here, Welte offers us a path that will show how an individual can use power without jeopardizing the freedom and dignity of those with whom he lives in a social and political community and the need to trust in the One who is greater than every crisis and every human power – God.
