Personalistinen

Personalistinen is a Finnish adjective meaning personalist or relating to personalism. Personalism is a philosophical, ethical, and social doctrine that emphasizes the intrinsic value and dignity of the individual person. It asserts that the person is the fundamental unit of society and the primary focus of moral concern.

Personalism generally holds that persons are unique, irreplaceable, and possess inherent rights and freedoms. This philosophy often emphasizes concepts such as autonomy, responsibility, and the importance of interpersonal relationships. It can be applied to various fields, including political theory, ethics, psychology, and theology, advocating for social and political structures that support individual flourishing and protect human dignity.

In a political context, personalism might advocate for policies that empower individuals and communities, emphasizing self-governance and participation. Ethically, it underscores the moral obligations owed to each person. Theologically, it often views the human person as created in the image of God, with a unique spiritual dimension. While personalism shares some common ground with individualism, it typically stresses the social nature of persons and their interdependence, rather than absolute self-sufficiency. The term "personalistinen" would therefore describe anything that adheres to or is characteristic of these personalist principles.
