Atsižadéti ≠ Išsižadéti

Author(s): Dainius Sobeckis / Language(s): Lithuanian Issue: 60/2009

The article discusses the chapter "About the awakened monk" from D. Kajokas' book "Idlenesses". It discusses the problem of repudiation. If God will help the monk, the monk will abdicate the most precious thing in his life. God helps him and in a presence of terrified brothers, the monk forsakes Jesus Christ and starts the journey to wide world. The article analyses the difference of two concepts: forsake and tergiversate. These concepts are analyzed in a biblical context. We can read about the consequences of the tergiversating of Christ in the Gospel of Matthew: "Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven" (Mt 10, 32-33). The monk does not tergiversates Christ, but forsakes him. So, Christ can not tergiversate the monk, although the monk forsook him in a presence of brothers. Forsaking is not equal to tergiverating. For those who forsake, the return to Christ is not yet closed, but for those who tergiversate, the return is closed.

Jan Paweł II o relacjach między nauką i teologią

Author(s): Zbigniew Wolak / Language(s): Polish Issue: 57/2014

The relation between science and religion is a very interesting subject for philosophers, some scientists and rather few theologians. Pope John Paul II did for the understanding of the subject more than any other pope and he still encourages theologians to take more seriously this survey. In this article four specific themes concerning pope’s teaching on science-religion problem are presented: 1) history of relation between science and religion, 2) religion and physics and cosmology, 3) religion and biology, 4) religion and realistic philosophy. Pope’s documents and announces show very mature and profound deliberations about the nature of science, religion (theology) and relations between them. The Pope outstretches the unity of the Universe and of the scientific survey but he is also aware of differences between methodologies of sciences, philosophies and theology. We cannot find one common methodology for all researches but we can still believe in finding the integral sense of life, Universe, and God’s presence in our life and world. John Paul II not only gave us some explanations in the difficult subject concerning science-religion problems but also encourages both scientists and theologians to continue this program.

Two criticisms of natural theology

Author(s): Błażej Gębura / Language(s): English Issue: 54/2014

The article aims at considering two general criticisms often formulated against the natural theology. First criticism is based on the thesis that the conclusions of the natural theology are not adequate with the religious beliefs of non-philosophers. It is widely known as opposition between God of Religion and God of Philosophers. One can find that argument in the writings of Blaise Pascal. I’m arguing for the thesis, that the natural theologian cannot fulfill the criteria given by the proponents of this argument. This is because the argument of the natural theology cannot contains the premises taken from the Revelation. If the argument of the natural theology would contain the premises taken from the Revelation, then it would be the argument of religion. But philosopher of religion (natural theologian) can’t do this, if he wants to formulate an philosophical argument. The second criticism is based on the notion of a rational person. In the light of this argument, the natural theology is successful only, if every rational person will accept the conclusion “God exist”. I’m trying to show that there is no philosophical argument that can guarantee it’s acceptance by some rational persons. The acceptance of the conclusion of the argument of the natural theology is a matter of personal decision. There is no logical argument, which can “force” rational persons (rational subjects) to accept it’s conclusion. But if this is true, the arguments for the existence of God are no worse than other philosophical arguments.

W procesie ustalania co jest prawdą objawioną... Socynianie wobec dogmatu Trójcy Świętej

Author(s): Robert Mieczkowski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2015

In this article we will analyze Andreas Wissowatius’s arguments which were presented in the discussion between two eminent thinkers: the Polish Socinian and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibinz, a German philosopher of the Enlightenment, in the late seventeenth century. This exchange of views makes it possible to observe the philosophical premises that led Andreas Wissowatius to reject the dogma of the Holy Trinity. The discussion, from which the Antitrinitarians arguments were quoted, became very well known among European theologians and philosophers, mainly due to the reputation which was decades later enjoyed by Leibniz. The discussion became known in Germany thanks to Lessing who was an editor and commentator of the dispute about the Holy Trinity as well as an advocate of tolerance, and a German writer of the Enlightenment.

Poza słowami

Author(s): Jacek Sieradzan / Language(s): Polish Issue: XXIX/2017

The topic of presentation is life and teachings of three less known, but important, modern mystics: Russian Sufi Irina Tweedie (1907-1999), and two non-confessional mystics: Indian U.G. Krishnamurti (1918-2007), and Romanian Ilie Cioara (1916-2004). It shows that method of permanent, silent contemplation, being non-sectarian, is essence of spiritual life. It gives lively alternative for both religious and secular lives which divide people into different and for many reasons conflicting approaches. It shows that essence of spiritual life is what lies beyond words, in silence.

POKONCILSKA TEOLOGIJA NA PREKRETNICI PLURALISTIČKOG DRUŠTVA I POSTMODERNE KULTURE

Author(s): Tomislav Smiljanić / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 48/2018

Slaba je utjeha da danas uporno pronalazimo krš ćanskekorijene i temelje onim vrijednostima koje su ugrađene u supstanciju moderne kulture. Dosta je propusta učinjeno s kršćanske strane u minulim stoljećima, upravo u vrijeme rađanja i uspostave nove – moderne kulture; danas već možemo govoriti o postmodernoj kulturi, koja je na određeni način već u zalazu, a na obzoru je tzv. postpostmoderna kultura, pogotovo prisutna u tehnološkom razvitku i napretku, čije implikacije tek nadolaze. Postmoderna kultura u kojoj je prisutna poplava različitih pluralizama koji ne zadovoljavaju krš ćanske ukuse i koja se prilično udaljila od dojučerašnje tradicionalne i dominantne matrice kulturnoga stanja i naslijeđa našega civilizacijskoga konteksta, našla se sama u previranju i podijeljenosti, postala je fragmentirana i izgubila egzistencijalni kompas.

Czy religii potrzebna jest metafizyka?

Author(s): Urszula Michalak / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/1999

Te pytania implikują szereg innych: Czy wiara rzeczywiście potrzebuje zrozumienia, aby być wiarą? Czy wiara musi być wiarą rozumną? Dalej: czy rozumne przeżywanie wiary i prawd wiary może stać się faktem bez rozumienia rzeczywistości? Czy religia – czyli zwrócenie się człowieka ku Bogu – potrzebuje kontekstu, jakim jest skierowanie się człowieka ku światu? Zatem: w jaki sposób można włączyć do poznania uzyskanego dzięki Objawieniu poznanie rozumowe i nie narażać na wypaczenie treści Objawienia ani nie popadać w sprzeczność z rozumem?

Trynitarno-zbawczy charakter Kościoła podstawą eklezjalnego ukierunkowania współczesnej katechezy

Author(s): Andrzej Kociołek / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/1999

Minęło prawie trzydzieści pięć lat od zakończenia Soboru Watykańskiego II. Mówi się, że był to Sobór Kościoła o Kościele. Dzisiaj, analizując prawdę i tajemnicę Kościoła, należy stwierdzić, że Kościół od Soboru w szerokim zakresie interpretuje sam siebie. Poddaje się badaniu pod różnymi, wielostronnymi aspektami, a także wpatruje się w swój obraz zawarty w Piśmie Świętym, Tradycji i w licznych wypowiedziach na własny temat.

Dlaczego Akcja Katolicka? Teologia i duchowość „rewizji życia”

Author(s): Stanisław Skobel / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/1995

The article "Why Catholic Action? Theology and Spirituality of the Revision of Life "wants to approach us to the main method of Catholic Action. This method is one of the important causes of the great success of this movement in the Church since the birth of the YCW, the first staple of Catholic Action. The three stages of the Revision of Life not only deepen faith but also live faith in practice and give Christian witness. "SEE" allows us to look at reality as it is. The Christian is a real man who lives in the real world. The "JUDGING" stage makes it possible to formulate a judgment that can liberate us. "ACT" gives the opportunity to rebuild the world according to the Gospel. The Life Review is truly evangelical and can help us transform our lives to make it more authentic.

Kuran’da Peygamberin Görev ve Özellikleri

Author(s): Mehmet İlhan / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 03/2015

Nubuwwa means “receiving prophetic news from God, bearing them to people and mediating between people and God”. Prophecy is one of the three major topics of Islamic Faith with Unity of God (Tawhid) and Mead (eschatology). To get authentic and true knowledge on Prophecy it is obvious that we should look first at Quranic Verses and Quran’s perspective in itself. A Prophet is, first of all a human being just like those for whom he was sent. It is a requisite that he be an appropriate and followable model. In Holy Quran it is underlined that the basic duty for Messenger is to notify (tabligh) and being truthful, trustworthy, harbinger, warner, chaste, hardworking, patient and resolute are related with this duty. Some subjective and sectarian comments about prophecy are more famous than Quranic perspective. For example, there is no clear expression about the distinction between nabi and rasul or about the number of prophets in Quran. In spite of this there are some certain provisions about these matters. It is seen that these are not accurate when we evaluate them according to all of Quranic verses. In this article, we have tried to deal with such matters about Prophecy from the viewpoint of Quran.

Once Again About the Historical-Critical Exegesis, from an Orthodox Perspective

Author(s): Constantin Horia Oancea / Language(s): English Issue: 1-2/2017

In recent decades, hermeneutic questions have been intensively discussed among Orthodox theologians. On the one hand, there is an effort to identify an orthodox profile of biblical exegesis. On the other hand, questions are asked about the legitimacy of historical critical exegesis for orthodox theology. In this study, I first analyze the allegations that were brought to the historical-critical exegesis, and I also ask about their relevance today. Afterwards, I name four arguments that legitimize the historico-critical approach to the biblical text from an orthodox perspective.

LIBERTATEA UMANĂ CA EXPRESIE A ETHOSULUI PROTESTANT LA WILLIAM JAMES

Author(s): Teofil Popescu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 1/2018

William James is one of the most prominent philosophers of the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century in America. He has come to be known for his theory of pragmatism. But one of his major themes is, human freedom. In this paper I will take in consideration his view on freedom, based on three major treatises of his works: The Will to Believe, Pragmatism and A Pluralistic Universe. I will conclude with a correlation between his view on freedom and the Protestant ethics, specific to the Reformed societies, stated by Max Webber.

Aksjologiczny rozwój etyczny i jego implikacje duchowe w filozofii Karola Wojtyły

Author(s): Ryszard Adam Podgórski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2018

The turn of the 20th century saw the origination of a tradition of analysing the nature of values (what is precious and good), i.e. what is value, what is its character? A postulate that explained the ontic status of values, the sources and mechanisms of origination of value, criteria of valuation, classification of values and – in a sociological meaning – the social functioning in culture and individual and social preferences of their accomplishment – all of this was an important issue. Wilhelm Windelband and Heinrich Rickert propagated the concept of axiology. Axiology won its renown thanks to the phenomenology of Edmund Husserl which – through the axiology of Max Scheler and Nicolai Hartmann, Dietrich von Hildebrand – breaks with the scientific anthropological vision of Auguste Comte. Therefore, when referring to phenomenology, Karol Wojtyła creates “adequate anthropology”. This multi-aspect Thomistic-phenomenological presentation of the human being by Karol Wojtyła has a significant axiological dimension for the development of spiritual life in the ethical personalism of Karol Wojtyła. This is the basis which we will use to ask the following question in this study: how does axiology influence the ethical and moral behaviour of a human being?

MARKS JAKO FAŁSZERZ TRADYCJI SOCJALISTYCZNEJ. DIAGNOZA GIEORGIJA FIEDOTOWA

Author(s): Sławomir Mazurek / Language(s): Polish Issue: 40/2018

The author tries to demonstrate that Georgii Fedotov, who at first sight seems to be not very interested in the philosophy of Marx, was an insightful and very severe critic of marxism. In order to prove it he explains what part the criticism of marxism plays in his philosophy of history. According to Fedotov the only way to overcome the crisis of civilization is reconciling of liberalism, socialism and Christianity. Such a reconciliation is quite possible because liberalism is compatible with Christianity while socialism has Christian sources as it was demonstrated in the course of ecclesial history and in the history of socialism whose founders (Leroux, Lammenais, George Sand and others) proposed an ideology with a strong religious bias. The materialistic and atheistic marxism, however, cut the ties between Christianity and socialism; thus it constitutes one of the major obstacles to reconcile the three traditions and overcome the crisis.

PITANJE SIMBOLA I SIMBOLIČKOG U MISLI PAULA TILLICHA

Author(s): Iva Mršić Felbar / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 1/2016

The article attempts to examine the basic preferences of Tillich’s thoughts about language in the context of symbolical speech that has it repercussion on theology, i. e. possible thoughts about religious language. The religious language according to Tillich is holy in its versatile expressions, because it mediates the ultimate concern. But, although the language is able to embrace the space of holy and to speak of Holy itself, Tillich notifies that language could not control and overtake the holy because it is just its mediator. Therefore, his fundamental thesis is that everything we say about God, we do so symbolically.
