Rozumienie rzeczywistości a kryzys kultury
The understanding of reality and the crisis of culture

Summary/Abstract: The historical experience of the disharmony between human artifacts and reality has been an evident result of ideologies of rationalism. The products of man, when turning against him, have become anti-culture which is unacceptable from the commonsense point of view. The author analyzes the culture-making activity of man in the context of relational transcendentals (truth, good, and beauty) which reveal the unalienable relation between analogical being and the Absolute. He underlines the importance (to the quality of human culture) of the cognitive accordance between acting subject and reality (logical truth). Human artifact, when deprived of logical truth or violating the ontological order of goods, cannot be regarded as culture-making. Human act is culture-making only if acting man affirms the order of reality.
