Autentyczność a dojrzałość religijna młodzieży o uzdolnieniach artystycznych

Author(s): Stanisław Radoń / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2 (7)/2012

The theoretical and empirical approaches showing that authenticity are the crucial concept of existentialism, postmodernism and humanistic psychology (be free, autonomic, unique, self-defining, self-creating and integrated, transcend enculturation, invent our own patterns, rise above circumstances, gather the past, present and future into the wholeness of our resolute selves, create our own meanings and goals). This article discuses especially the role of authenticity on religious maturity (Allport’s intrinsic orientation, Batson’s quest and Sandage’s dwelling and seeking). In this paper projection method were used to examine the functioning authenticity among artistically gifted young people and its role on religious maturity. Ss (N=296 aged 15–20 yrs) had to : 1) I’m sadly …, 2) I treasure, I like …, 3) Rational analysis…. The results of qualitative analysis revealed that the authenticity have two aspects: 1) autonomy (the freedom and loneliness, spontaneity, sensuality and creativity, 2) empathy (kindness, sensibility, emotional self-reflection, the acceptance of the imperfection,love and friendship). The findings confirmed validity of the authenticity on religious maturity as well as usefulness of considerations based on new theoretical suggestions in psychology (developmental framework of new concepts of the authenticity and religious maturity). Implications are considered for future research on dialectical understandings of religious maturity (a Wuthnow, Sandage, Shults dialectical model of spiritual development based on dwelling and seeking offers an interesting theoretical base for research)

„Jest tam, gdzie go wpuścimy!” Kilka uwag o transcendencji i immanencji Boga w nawiązaniu do klasycznej metafizyki i Buberowskiej dialogiki

Author(s): Sławomir Szczyrba / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2013

A famous Rabbi of Kotzk surprised his guests with a question “Where is God’s dwell-ing?”. When their thoughts started to wander off towards too speculative and abstract formula of God’s “dwelling place”, the Rabbi surprised them for the second time, giving the answer himself, the answer which is generally well known to us: “God dwells where man lets Him in”. Avoiding the answer which would be situated in a spatial paradigm, the hero of Buber’s existential treaty about a dialogic nature of human existence in the world (The Way of Man According to the Teaching of Hasidim) skillfully shifted the focus on anthropological dimen-sion of the issue of God’s transcendence and immanence. Perhaps prima facie well practiced and subject-oriented metaphysical reflection is not our primary necessity, but that does not mean that it is totally redundant and that it is enough to pause on a certain surface of witty retorts. It is worth noting that metaphysical assumptions are hiding behind existentially compelling retorts. The author in his article, starting from the above mentioned controversy, wants to point out several issues: paradoxicalness of God’s presence in the world, possibility of ideologizing the category “transcendence – immanence” in relation to God and neo-anthropomorphism in statements about God.

Dramatyczny wymiar życia i dzieła Karola Wojtyły – Jana Pawła II

Author(s): Zdzisława S. Specht-Abramiuk / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2011

The author is aiming to show how far K. Wojtyła – John Paul II – was involved in the historical events of the world. As pope, he took on responsibility not only for the Church, but also for the whole of humankind. The large extent of his pastoral activity, his worldwide visits and his personal contact with many people gave him the opportunity to approach the true nature of the social, political and spiritual dramas of the world. It is interesting to see this approach from the perspective of the dramatic dimension of his personal life, his private experience of loneliness, suffering and death. This paper offers an existential and personalistic analysis provided by the classical playwrights Calderón de la Barca and William Shakespeare, the philosophers of dramatic theatre Henri Gouhier and the theologian of the drama of God and man Hans Urs von Balthasar. The idea of a global theatre – theatrum mundi – and the theatre of God – theatrum Dei – played an essential role in the life of Pope John Paul II, unless he never wanted to be associated with acting. His role and his mission were in complete coexistence in his one person. If anybody wanted to see him as an actor, he should see him as an actor of God’s theatre, playing roles of the theatre of humankind. In doing this he was able to reach the essential meaning of different kinds of human dramas, to bring them to the light of hope, of God’s mercy and love.

Egzystencjalny wymiar nauczania religii w świetle nowych dokumentów programowych

Author(s): Anna Zellma / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2011

According to the contemporary Polish catechetics, the key dimensions of catechesis are such fundamental ones as e.g. the ecumenical, the biblical, the ecclesiastical, the moral, the liturgical, the cultural and the existential ones. They determine the main topics and the ways of analyzing them during religion lessons. This paper aims to present the existential dimension of religion teaching in the context of the Polish catechetic curricula adopted in 2010: “Core curriculum of the Catholic Church catechesis in Poland” and “Curriculum of Roman-Catholic religion teaching in nurseries and schools”. One shall begin with presenting the issue in question, i.e. the terms “existence”, “existentialism in teaching” and “existentialism in catechetics and catechesis”. Next, the origins of the existential dimension of religion teaching shall be described with references to, among other things, the statements made by the Magisterium of the Church, by Popes and by catechetic teachers. Then, one shall move on to a synthetic characteristics of the existential issues in the new curricula of religion education. In this context, one shall point to methodological suggestions, designed to provide the existential direction to religion education. The last part of the paper contains the summary and the suggestions for the authors of new series of textbooks and religion education materials as well as for religion teachers.

Liryczne rozpamiętywanie śmierci w wybranych wierszach J.S. Pasierba

Author(s): Agnieszka Nowak / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2006

The poetry of Janusz St. Pasierb is an interesting and unique work. This poem is inspired at the same time by the Biblia and the observation of everyday life. The analysis of the issue of suffering and death appears quite often in the author's work. Pasierb shows death not as the end of human life but as the transition to a fuller and truer life. The poet does not forget human pain, however, he expresses that this circumstance like death is a privileged moment to affirm the hope of eternal life. The important element of the world view in Pasierb's poetry is the belief that everyday life is passive and short. Janusz Pasierb is the priest and his priesthood will certainly have its depth in his poetic work even though he has no explicit reference when it comes to the priestly function. Pasierb's poetry is far from moralism and despair. The poems concerning the theme of suffering and death are characterized by certainty and peace and also by a certain humor founded on the certainty of the existence of the most beautiful reality beyond.

La théologie d’Aristote comme finalisation dans la perspective physique

Author(s): Roman Piwowarczyk / Language(s): French Issue: 1/2006

The search for the Perfectest Being, Full of the Act, Thoughts of thought or simply God takes at least three different forms at Stagirite. He tries to show his presence through philosophical analyzes in a physical, noetic and metaphysical perspective. In this article the author tries to present the individual elements of the physical perspective as one of the three perspectives of theoretical philosophy, in which Aristotle indicates the necessity of God's existence. In this perspective, he takes the name of the First Advocate. To achieve this goal, he analyzes the complexity of all movement in the material world and is based on two principles: 1) every moving being is moved by another being; 2) when searching for the ultimate cause of movement, you can not go back indefinitely.

Wizja świata jako teatru tragedii u Mikołaja Bierdiajewa

Author(s): Wojciech Błaszczyk / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2004

The question of tragedy is dear to Berdiaeff. He binds her to freedom. Indeed, the tragic remains in freedom and wanting to solve it definitively is equivalent to setting limits to freedom, circumscribing it in a logical, rational, predictable system of necessity, adapting itself to management. This temptation to seize power over the man terrifies Berdiaeff who sees in freedom the meonic source (me-on-not being) of being. When freedom precedes being, the entire cosmos is bound to a dynamic and takes the form of tragic theater. The very being of God is born of freedom and must then "subscribe" to its principle. The notion of the tragic is the mystical key to approach the mysteries of the divine life. This notion pierces the fixed categories of our logic and gives us access to the dark truth of God's being. Like Böhme Berdiaeff speaks of the birth of God of the first freedom. He draws this teaching from Böhme, German mystic of the XVI / XVII century. In the knowledge of God he gives priority to myth, to gnosis before the purely logical, natural reasoning of scholasticism. The concept of tragedy is used by Berdiaeff to explain the mystery of man and the world. Between freedom and necessity, the animal and the spiritual, man presents himself as a split, tragic being. If it depended solely on God as the effect of his cause, life would be only a mechanism, a comedy played by the all-powerful creator God. The tragic feeling allows Berdiaeff to defend a great dignity of the man who escapes any attempt to include him in a system. Freedom is then the tragic destiny of man and reminds him of his spiritual character.

Le noeud tragique de la vie. Berdiaeff en dialogue avec Dostoïevski et Nietzsche

Author(s): Wojciech Błaszczyk / Language(s): French Issue: 1/2004

Bierdiajew's entire anthropology is based on the supreme value of freedom. Freedom here is a "boundary concept": indefinable, belongs to nonbeing, which precedes the existence of all being, even the existence of God. From the dynamics of this freedom, it is inevitably a tragedy that freedom is born and which is born of the betrayal of freedom. The main form of tragedy is the possibility of a man's radical departure from God, falling into arbitrariness, into a will. Bierdiajew finds her literary embodiment with Dostoyevsky as Dimitri Karamazov, or even more so in Kirilov in Demies, who wants to become a God in place of God, a Man-god in contrast to the idea of God-humanity that Christianity proclaims. Another form of tragedy is the bad good, or dictatorship of good, described by Dostoyevsky in the Legend of the Grand Inquisitor. Tragedy, suffering, evil and good are personal values. None of them would be able to exist without the existence of a free, spiritual person, a person who is the center of the cosmos. Bierdiajew's anthropocentrism makes him see in a tragic freedom a source of human dignity. By resigning from a tragedy, submitting to a necessity, either in the theocratic or communist system, a man gets rid of freedom and his inherent dignity. Only in the fire of dramatic freedom, in the center of one's suffering humanity, can we become deified, elevate our dignity to her true God-human dimension. Neither the Nietzschean way of a superman without God, nor the way Man against God does not answer the question about human dignity. Only the theandric image of God-humanity embodied in Christ can become the answer to the quest for freedom, the solution to the node of tragedy, tightening around human existence.

Chrystologiczno-sakramentalny wymiar nowego Ludu Bożego jako centralne założenie dla biblijno-kerygmatycznie ujętej katechezy

Author(s): Andrzej Kociołek / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2000

Ujęcie Kościoła w kategorii sakramentalnej podejmowane przez współczesną teologię nie jest nowością. Można powiedzieć, że idea sakramentalności Kościoła znana była od samego początku jego istnienia. Problem ten podejmowali już Ojcowie Kościoła. Sakramentalność Kościoła opisywano, stosując różne pojęcia: określano Kościół chrześcijańskim sakramentem, nadsakramentem, pełnym sakramentem, całym sakramentem, zasadniczym sakramentem, prasakramentem, pierwotnym sakramentem czy podstawowym sakramentem.

On the problem of identity and difference between online and offline existence

Author(s): Slavomír Gálik / Language(s): English Issue: 1/1/2017

The Internet and its applications in new forms of media offer a new existential dimension for man, dimension that we call virtual reality, cyberspace or online existence (unlike the real, offline existence). Along with online existence come also new thinking and approach to human’s existence. It is chiefly a question of relation between existing online and offline. This is also what this contribution concentrates on. There are three partial goals: - 1. what distinguishes identity or continuity between online and offline; 2. remaining difference between these two kinds of existence; 3. trends that can be spotted in this relationship. To fulfil these three goals, qualitative methods, especially hermeneutic, be used.

THE PROCESS OF SELF-ACTUALIZATION THROUGH RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE IN JANE FENN HOSKENS’ LIFE

Author(s): F. Gül Koçsoy / Language(s): English Issue: 36/2017

This article proposes that Jane Fenn Hoskens (1694-1764) in her autobiography The Life and Spiritual Sufferings of That Faithful Servant of Christ Jane Hoskens, A Public Preacher among the People Called Quakers (1771) meets the criteria for Abraham Harold Maslow’s theory of self-actualization. His theory is humanistic; it promotes man’s psychological development including the constitution of a competent selfhood, a socially congruent persona and a blissful state of existence. Hoskens renders her need to actualize herself and achievement of it through her definition of herself on religious sphere; she depicts her spiritual crises and recurrent clashes of faith in the way to God. Her process of self-actualization requires this effort and through frequent ‘peak experiences’ her choice of Quakerism crystallizes in which she attains clear visions of her being and life in general. She finds preaching, writing and missionary activities as the tools for self-expression.

Individu, famille et communauté dans la pensée de Jean-Paul Sartre

Author(s): Adrián Bene / Language(s): French Issue: 19-20/2014

Many people think that Sartre’s standpoint concerning intersubjectivity is simply resumed in the widely known aphorism of No Exit : “Hell is other people.” However, in the Critic of Dialectical Reason he was looking for the possibility of the community. In Being and Nothingness every human relation is based on the look, thus we-subject and us-object can be distinguished as different experiences of being-for-others. The condition of an ideal typical community is a common project which (in the Critic of Dialectical Reason) ensures freedom for individuals (as being for itself) in a group-in-fusion. Certainly, every individual has his own project, since his fundamental choice has come to pass within the family. There is a possibility of modifying it, but it is not an easy way. Sartre analysed the vain efforts of both Baudelaire and Genet using his own method of existential psychoanalysis. The importance of lived experience of the child is best developed in The Family Idiot on Flaubert.

Şerefeddin Yaltkaya’nin İsbât-I Vâcib Anlayişi

Author(s): İbrahim Bayram / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 03/2018

Şerefeddin Yaltkaya, who had acquired an important place among the Ottoman scholars of the last period, did not adopt the concept of the new ılm al-kalam, which is offered as an alternative to classical kalam, but instead advocated the social kalam approach. This idea also influenced his views on the existence of Allah, accordingly, the evidence that must be used to prove the divine existence has been confined to a relatively narrow area. With an approach that is more suited to the Salafiyya sect, the author, who, directed criticism to the science of the kalam and to its mental and philosophical evidence that is used to prove the divine existence, has argued that this work should only be handled with a Qur'an-based understanding. The author, who thinks that there is evidence of al-fitrah in this divine book besides the evidence of teleologic argument, usually concentrated his statements on these two proofs. This situation did not cause him to ignore the evidence of huduth, at least on behalf of science, he has included this evidence in his studies. However, in doing so, he often went on to explain his purpose through some simple and easy-to-understand examples, although he sometimes includes technical explanations.

Mówi we mnie Się

Author(s): Marta M. Kania / Language(s): Polish Issue: 3/2017

Kania undertakes a close playing of Sunset (Tale of Tales, 2015), focusing on the relationship between the player, who perceives the avatar as herself, and the soliloquizing protagonist. Drawing on Heidegger’s notions of the ‘They’ and ‘distantiality’, Kania demonstrates in what way the player’s perceptual situatedness with regard to the avatar determines her aesthetic experience of the gameworld. The distantiality that emerges between the player and the protagonist becomes visible in two areas, namely when the player experiences the avatar to be a protagonist, soliloquizing and defining herself through her own gaze, and when the player experiences the avatar as the ‘They,’ with the protagonist’s behaviour determining the player’s position and becoming an expression of a depersonalized opinion and a form of pressure.
