This paper seeks to present the existential phenomenology practiced by the Emmanuel Mounier personalist thinking in his effort of elaborating a person anthropology that, inserted on the true history, responds to a transcendent appeal. Hence, Mounier was a thinker more concerned with the meaning of human existence, of the personal being, than withthe technicality of the epistemic process. This epistemological requirement means, in personalism, the attempt to elaborate a phenomenology of existence, in which the person is reference. Human existence is the starting point and the fundamental postulate of personalism. The person is not understood by personalism as a reality disconnected of the world, but as a historically embodied reality. The condition of being "set", ie, embodied in its time, in its history, inter vening in it and transforming it continuously, is the wayman is realized as a person, because what fundamentally characterizes him is his ability to rupture the determinism and assert his personality.
