ODMIANY PANTEIZMU – W ŚWIETLE HISTORII TEGO POJĘCIA
THE VARIANTS OF PANTHEISM – IN THE LIGHT OF HISTORY OF THE NOTION

Summary/Abstract: In the first part of the paper are made analysis referring to the notion of pantheism. On the account of the relation between the notions „divinity” and „being/world” are differentiated the following stands: 1) divinity is partially within itself and is partially within the all; 2) divinity is entirely within the all; 3) everything is within divinity, not exhausting its scope and content; 4) everything is within divinity, exhausting its scope and content. In the second part of the paper are cited the views and conceptions illustrating and deepening the starting analysis. The views and conceptions are taken from philosophical texts, theological ones, and from belle-lettres: from among the non-European texts are discussed these of Lao-tsu, Zhuangzi, Bhagawadgita, from among the European texts are discussed the fragments of classical pantheistic texts of: Plotinus, Spinoza, Heraclitus, Hölderlin, Novalis, Feuerbach and other, including poets. At the end of paper are formulated thesis having both the character of summing up the investigation and having the aim of inspiring the further discussion. The first thesis: If one assume the stand (3) and (4), the specificity of pantheism loses. The second thesis: One should distinguish the right, clear, mature in terms of thinking pantheism, i.e. (1) and (2), whereas the stands (3) and (4) not acknowledge as pantheism.
