The aim of this article is to present the arguments for the constitution of a man by the spiritual soul. To complete this task one scrutinized the academic works of Konstanty Michalski (1879 – 1947), a Polish priest, philosopher, professor at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow and a prisoner of the concentration camp in Sachsenhausen. The author referring to the principle agere sequitur esse proves the existence of an immaterial, spiritual reality in the ontological structure of a man. The argument for its existence is the world of culture; the world which is completely foreign to the world of animals and necessary for human life. The immaterial deeds of a man demand the most appropriate cause, that is a spiritual human soul. Remembering and developing this thought, in our time, is an essential duty for anthropology, both: philosophical and theological. It is a fundamental task, because there are strong forces that falsely attempt to grasp and explain the human being as only a material entity.
