Abstract
This work expands upon Leonardo Polo’s anthropological proposal regarding human work as a distinctive entrustment from Creator to each created person. Situated within philosophical anthropology as a branch of knowledge devoted to a deeper understanding of the human being, it delves into the highest human dimension—the personal act of being—as the heart of this dedication, and breaks down the appeal to destiny. The goals to which human beings aspire are innumerable, but they all ultimately depend on the first, the ultimate one. In light of the manifestative dimension—which in Polo’s framework corresponds to the order of human essence, distinct from yet intrinsically related to the personal act of being, and encompasses the sphere of human actions, possessions, and material, intellectual, and virtuous gains—this study, according to the view of work as an entrustment, offers a philosophical inquiry surrounding the ultimate destiny of work and the roles that other persons and the divine Person play in this search. © The authors ©MDPI.
