Abstract To reveal the dialogical nature of personalistic discourse of John Paul II based on the principles of religious studies, and thrash out the contribution of the Catholic thinker to the development of shared intentions of modern culture. The study is carried out using ideographic and biography-based methods, specific for humanitarian perception. They enabled to find out and reveal the main intention of creative life of 264th Pope and monadic nature of his personality. As a result of the analysis of philosophical works, papal documents and biographical facts about Wojtyla, the study proves that he confirmed dialogueness, a shared intention of the new civilization, implementing his personal vocation in his philosophical and pastoral activity. The materials of the study can be a useful source when solving the issue, bound with self-discovery, creative life and implementation of personal vocation under conditions of sudden core paradigm change. Philosophical legacy of John Paul II is researched under the context of new anti-postmodernist tendencies for the first time. It is emphasized that he became involved in the formation and development of the new civilization on a dialogical principle through his philosophy, artistic and pastoral activities, arisen from dialogueness as the basic property of his consciousness.
