After Gabriel Marcel, human being is a principal subject of any philosophical research. Only the understanding of a human being makes it possible to understand the world. A philosopher reaches the mystery of human existence when personally and internally experiencing himself. However, a philosopher never explains the reality recognised in his internal experience; he keeps describing it.
Human being is permanently directed towards development, towards the search of the fullness of his existence. This is done by realising interpersonal relations – especially, all „I”–„you” relations. This type of relations are initiated on the basis of the specific identity between the human „I” and other human beings, when a new reality „us” is being created. In the „I”–„you” relations the second person discovers the subject–one for himself. The human being attains his full identity exclusively in the case of another person becoming for him a „you”.
The principal kinds of the „I”–„you” relations are: love, hope and believe definitely unified with faith. In these relations human being transcends himself and participates either in the human „you”, or in the divine „YOU”.
