Abstract
This paper examines the philosophical and theological foundations of the medical anthropology of Victor von Weizsäcker (1886–1957). Drawing on sources, many of which are being introduced into scholarship for the first time, and research literature, we show the relationship between Weizsäcker's ideas of man as a psychosomatic unity, illness as a life crisis, and health, on which the German thinker's theory is based, and the corresponding philosophical and theological conceptions. We reveal the significance of Weizsäcker's ideas in the context of the interaction of modern human sciences, philosophy and theology.
