Abstract

This article addresses the topic of spirituality in a philosophical-anthropological perspective. It assumes that the concept of spirituality can only move away from media and esoteric colloquialism to the extent that it is part of the understanding of the human being in its entirety and multidimensionality. Distinguishing, in this sense, five basic dimensions: physical, sensory, emotional, mental and spiritual as well as an unclosed number of cross-theme dimensions. Explaining what is meant by spiritual dimension from the phenomena of freedom, truth, and love. Understanding the process of humanization and, thereby,  as the human quest for accomplishments include the human dimension within the cross-themes, always all the basic dimensions, especially the spiritual dimension, thus creating a continuous and more cohesive union of all the dimensions.
