Estetyka i teologia – próba określenia przestrzeni interakcji
Aesthetics and theology – An attempt to determine their meeting place

Summary/Abstract: The contemporary age, also called postmodernity, is an epoch which considers aestheticalcategories as being particularly important. This situation is provoked by the factthat today existence is orientated especially towards experience. This orientation, in turn,also influences theology and causes more and more appreciation of aesthetical categories.However, a proper „aestheticization” of theology needs a proper theological methodology.The spectrum of the interests of aesthetics is very large, and aesthetic categories themselveshave been understood differently over the centuries. For this very reason a creativeuse of beauty in theology postulates a preliminary determination of the kinds of interactionbetween aesthetics and theology.The article is thus an attempt to discover various modes of dialogue between these twodomains, especially from the historical and systematic perspectives, while also taking intoaccount the open problems of this mutual interaction.
