Water as an Archetype of Green Thinking

Voda ako archetyp ekologického myslenia

Author(s): Štefan Šrobár / Language(s): Slovak / Issue: 2/2021

Keywords: Water; Soil; Ecosystem; Climate change;

The economic activities of humans have a very adverse impact on the hydrological regime, whether the clearing of forests, ploughing up of steppes, draining of wetlands, irrigation, industrial and urban development or the use of "underground seas". Water infiltrates well into the soil covered with vegetation. Humans behave like a pathogen in the natural ecosystem. There must be enough water available in the nature for wild fauna or flora species. The quality of freshwater is materially affected by the method of land use and the vegetation cover. Especially forests have a decisive role in water purification and retention in ecosystems. We are in the midst of a radical collapse of the biotypes of large rainforests. Moreover, major deforestation continues.

Author(s): Krzysztof Dziurzynski / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 3/2021

Keywords: Teachers; Stress; General feeling of stress; Regression analysis;

Using the Stress in the Teaching Profession Questionnaire (SWZN by Zbigniew Gaś), 174 teachers, including 140 females (80%) and 34 males (20%), were surveyed. The age of the respondents ranged from 20 to 60 years, with an average of 39.65 years. They were early childhood education teachers, teachers teaching in classes IV-VIII, and teachers teaching in secondary schools. The regression analysis provided a structure of relationships of selected variables: dependent (general sense of stress), independent (situations likely to cause stress). The applied linear regression made it possible to assume precise characteristics of the obtained relations. They pretend to be autonomous conclusions in relation to the examined group of teachers.

The Two “Suppers in Emmaus” from Rembrandt

Dve Rembrandtove „Večere v Emauzách“

Author(s): Andrej Botek / Language(s): Slovak / Issue: 3/2021

Keywords: Composition; Existentional questions; Painting means; Psychology of actors; Rembrandt; The Supper in Emmaus;

Religious themes have their position as a important part in the wholy history of art. The authors displayed in these motifs not only biblical events but also reflection of their own existential questions and they put here their inner survival of faith. The Supper in Emmaus is one of such biblical motifs. Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (1606 – 69) one of the most famous artists of all time, left us two paitings which divides the period of twenty years. The twenty years which divides these two paitings brought to him personal examinations and tragedies in his life. We can admire not only his professional paintart, thoughtful composition, light atmosphere – Rembrandt has displayed here deeper meaning with penetraiting psychological studies of characters. He revealed a lot of his own experiencing faith.

Karl Barth – Creator of Dialectical Theology

Karl Barth – tvorca dialektickej teológie

Author(s): Štefan Šrobár / Language(s): Slovak / Issue: 4/2021

Keywords: Liberal theology; Dialectical theology; Letter to the Romans; Church dogmatics;

Dialectical Theology. Liberal theology originates on the crossroads of liberalism and evangelical theology. It was not defined as a certain school, it is rather a divergent movement consisting of different schools of thought. One of the most important features of the dialectical theology is the emphasis on the position of God on the other side towards the world and man and on the superiority of His revelation. Revelation has a dialectical structure because it maintains connection between elements that are mutually exclusive. Therefore, the theological statements should conserve dialectical methodology as well, hence they should express statement and negation. The brightest example of a dialectical theology is the language in the Letter to the Romans. God is completely different in the Letter to the Romans. The only possible way leads from God to man and bears the name of Jesus Christ. The justification comes only through faith. Church dogmatics is based on the Letter to the Romans. Church dogmatics should be Christology in its fundamental structure, as well as in all of its parts.

Selected Aspects of the Systemic Understanding of the Family

Wybrane aspekty systemowego rozumienia rodziny

Author(s): Przemysław Żebrok / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 4/2021

Keywords: Family; System; Society;

The study presents selected aspects of the systemic understanding of the family. Currently, the systems approach is quite widely used in many sciences. There are many indications that modern science has found an important methodological tool in explaining complex phenomena and processes in the theory of systems. According to systemic reasoning, the family is viewed as a natural system in which complex relationships and interactions take place, creating a network of feedback loops. The family system is relatively open and dynamic, characteristic of living organisms. The family as a system develops with a simultaneous tendency to maintain balance. Nevertheless, it also has properties such as variability and evolution. Another feature of the systems is the existence of a hierarchical organization. The family has a specific structure determined by the system of relations, roles and positions of its individual members. It is made up of smaller structural units, or subsystems. These elements interact with each other, and each person depends on the rest of the family. This means that a change taking place in one unit causes changes in the entire family system.

Wisdom in the Letters of Anthony the Hermit

Múdrosť v listoch Antona Pustovníka

Author(s): Peter Dufka / Language(s): Slovak / Issue: 1/2023

Keywords: Wisdom; Mind; Spirit

In his Letters Antony speaks of wisdom which takes on three meanings: practical, mental, and spiritual. Practical wisdom, reflected in the term σοφός, covers both the craftsmen such as poets, musicians. Mental wisdom for Antony means a certain disdain of all too material preoccupations as to be able to know oneself but also to understand the time in which we live. Spiritual wisdom is the ability to see through the deceptions of the devil, while recognizing the goodness of the heavenly Father. These three types of wisdom in the letters of St. Anthony were addressed to his contemporaries, but they have not lost their actuality. They also have something to say to the man of today.

Existenciálne chápanie človeka vo filozofii Sørena Kierkegaarda

Author(s): Ivan Ondrášik,Katarína Ondrášiková / Language(s): Slovak / Issue: 2/2023

Keywords: Kierkegaard; Existence; Aesthetic; ethical and religious stage; God

The aim of the paper is to analyze the three stages of existence in the philosophy of S. Kierkegaard. First, we reflect on the method of Kierkegaard's philosophy. In the aesthetic stage, one experiences existential moods of boredom, despair, anxiety, fear, and is scattered in the flesh. At the ethical stage, responsibility in marriage is mainly applied in a person's life. The prototype of religious existence is Abraham, experiencing fear and trembling before God.
