Wyzwania “autotranscendencji” ducha w obliczu “biegunowości” bycia (Czytanie „Teologii systematycznej” Paula Tillicha dla humanistyki)
The Challenges of Spiritual “Self-trancendence” in View of Polarity of Being (Reading Paul Tillich’s „Systematic Theology” for the Humanities)

Summary/Abstract: The paper postulates reading works by Paul Tillich mainly as a great humanist, whose background for thinking, anticipating his theological considerations, is priceless for a wide field of the humanistic reflections. The author indicates items permanently having difficulties in coming to the fore of humanistic thinking and still being profoundly elaborated and successfully applied in Tillich’s systematic perspective. The text shows up some selected items from the three subsequent volumes of Systematic Theology, linked with the categories which permit to reject dualistic claims inherent in a dominant thinking about culture, social life, science and humanities. The author situates Tillich’s reading within the horizon of “the duality turn-over” described by Lech Witkowski, and thus it makes a reference to his cognitive profiles disclosing possibilities of humanistic applications of the ideas of the great theologist beyond his institutional framework.
