Problém periférie, podľa pápeža Františka, v kontexte koncepcie pólového protikladu Romana Guardiniho
The problem of periphery according to Pope Francis in the context of the concept of the polar opposite of Romano Guardini

Summary/Abstract: One of the main sources of theological, philosophical and spiritual inspiration of Pope Francis is the thinking of the German-Italian philosopher and theologian Romano Guardini. Among other things, Pope Francis is primarily significantly influenced by Guardini‘s metaphysical and epistemological doctrine of opposites (Gegensatzlehre), which he formulated in his writing Der Gegensatz: Versuche zu einer Philosophie des Lebendig-Konkreten, in order to understand life in its concreteness. The basic idea of Guardini‘s concept is, that everything has a polar structure of opposites, which are not mutually exclusive, but complement each other. This doctrine has far-reaching consequences for ethics and social life. Guardini‘s Gegensatzlehre Pope Francis clearly projects into the four basic principles of social coexistence presented in the exhortation Evangelii gaudium and the understanding of peripheries and universal brotherhood in the encyclical Fratelli tutti. Centers of power and peripheries are social opposites, which should not be antagonistic, but focused on each other and mutually balancing social reality.
