“Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?” asks archbishop Józef Michalik, quoting Eliot. And this is an important question. Man’s profundity can only be fulfilled by God. “One needs to work in order to regain the profundity– the profundity which is characteristic of a human being. The profundity which calls on his mind and heart [...]. It is the profundity of truth and freedom, justice and charity. The profundity of peace.” (John Paul II)

Pollution of air and water in Poland in the years 1945–1970 as a problem of the government and the society

Zanieczyszczenie wód i powietrza w Polsce w latach 1945–1970 jako problem władzy i społeczeństwa

Author(s): Dariusz Jarosz / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 15/2017

Keywords: environment protection;ecology in Poland after WWII;contamination and pollution of waters;air pollution

Immediately after the war a discussion about the condition of the natural environment in Poland was held mainly in the specialist press that emphasised its degradation as especially dangerous for the society biologically and psychically wasted by experiences of the war. During the period of deStalinisation and political “thaw” after the 1956 October the subject of air and water pollution was more and more present in the press, but also in discussions of both the leaders of the state and some organised circles of the society. An increasingly well-known deteriorating state of the natural environment which adversely affected economic performance forced the government to search for remedies. As a result, new legal regulations were introduced with accompanying organisational changes. The most important of them were: the establishment of the Ministry of Navigation and Water Management (1957), Central Water Management Board (1960), and local structures responsible for the protection of waters from pollution, the introduction of the Water Law (1962), and the enactment of the Air Pollution Protection Act (1966). From 1960s on, systematic pollution tests of waters and air were carried on, which indicated that between 1967 and 1970 the condition of lakes and rivers deteriorated in comparison to the period of 1964–1967. In the same period there was an increased emission of greenhouse gases and reduced dust emissions. The main reasons for this were: the inefficacy of adopted laws (including a penalties system), insufficient financial investments in effective purification equipment, which was technologically outdated in its large part, the lack of qualified personnel specialised in environmental protection. There were, however, in the analysed period some elements of environmental awareness of people which were expressed, among other things, in letters sent by Polish citizens to the government.

The ethos of the creator in the teaching of John Paul II

Etos twórcy w nauczaniu Jana Pawła II

Author(s): Mariusz Borys / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 1/2017

Keywords: John Paul II; man; artist; art; a Letter to the artists; Ethos; the creator; the theology of art;

The carrier of values and ideas, which undoubtedly are of great importance for humanity is the ethos, understood as the „personification”. It is a kind of cultural set of ideals that have an impact on the people and show the value of emotional and sometimes moral of the community. In this article ethos-personification of the creator will be presented, first in relation to the Creator, which is God himself, then in relation to man. By calling people to the existence and life, God himself has assumed the role of initiator and creator of life. He created it to be then trusted in the hands of the man himself. Father Almighty as the highest essence and the most important in the world, gave the man beauty that surrounds us as well as talents and opportunities to develop, so that we can create a „masterpiece” of our own life. As beautiful and perfect as we could imagine, however depending on God who has allowed it and pointed out how to do this. The people’s fate depends on themselves, as everyone is „the architect of his own fortune.” By creating human life God expressed his artistic face. The article presents the role of the artist not only as the originator of life, but also as a designer and creator of morality and culture. It is underlining the relation between the good, and at the same time is provoking reflection that every work whether it be God or the man, is a special form of revelation of the values.

Keywords: ethics; philosophy of politics; justice; social justice; commutative justice

In the 1840’s, due to Luigi Taparelli and Antonio Rosmini, the term of “social justice” emerged. Since that time, its meaning has developed in many ways. In the literature of the subject, one can find numerous identifications of the term “social justice”. The article focuses on the identity of this term with justice framed as: a commutative justice (in its varieties: retributive, restorative and justice of exchange). Some of these concepts assume the existence of some kind of social persons. The author, in inevitably approximate analyses, tries to show specificity of particular types of meanings assigned to the notion of “social justice”.

Mariusz Zaruski lived in times when Poland regained the independence in 1918, when we were fighting to get access to the sea. His concept of the sea was connected with influencing the feelings of the nation to form strong characters of the youth sailing across the sea for the young people to become “beautiful and good” according to the ideas of ancient Greece and Rome. Their followers were Polish knights, insurgents and accursed soldiers. Zaruski was convinced that characters of young generations of Poles are shaped by means of hardship while sailing as to become “as hard as a rock and souls as clean as deep sea”.

Personalism in interpretation of Pelplin theologians father Franciszek Sawicki and father Jerzy Buxakowski

Personalizm w ujęciu teologów pelplińskich ks. Franciszka Sawickiego oraz ks. Jerzego Buxakowskiego

Author(s): Marian Knut / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 18/2012

The paper presents personalism in interpretation of Pelplin theologians father Franciszek Sawicki and father Jerzy Buxakowski. In the case of father Sawicki, indication on Neo-Kantian personalism is revealed in contrast to allocated to him Neo-Thomist or Thomist-Augustinian personalism. The second theologian reffers to his theological inclinations as anthropological, citing at the same time on sources and authors typical of personalism. Both authors present personalism as a complex matter, since the research carried out up to now, either questions its belonging to the trend in religious instruction, or the belonging is allocated to various fields of studies. The paper is an attempt to estimate the scientific lecture of the theologians.

What Are the Epistemic Frameworks?

Czym są epistemiczne układy odniesienia?

Author(s): Krzysztof J. Kilian / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 14/2017

Keywords: epistemic frameworks; bearers of epistemic frameworks; strong and weak sine qua non conditions for what counts as scientific; material and formal sine qua non conditions for what counts as scientific

This paper sets out to explain why it is that epistemic frameworks as discussed so far have never functioned in such a way as to furnish a criterion of demarcation. It also seeks to shed light on why such frameworks, though only sine qua non conditions for what may be considered scientific, nevertheless play a leading role in science. As the history of the philosophy of science shows, there are many sine qua non conditions for counting as scientific. Moreover, it should be asked whether epistemic frameworks differ significantly from other sine qua non conditions. To answer that question, two distinctions are to be introduced with respect to such conditions: between strong and weak ones, and between material and formal ones.The paper also examines the reasonableness of separating epistemic frameworks from research programs and paradigms. Initially, epistemic frameworks look like they would lend themselves to serving as components of Popperian metaphysical research programs, as well as of the hard cores of Lakatosian scientific research programs. (In the latter instance, they could play the role of strong heuristic rules guiding scientific research.) One may also try to insert them into Kuhnian disciplinary matrices, where they will function as components of values or ontological models. Even so, the best candidates as bearers of such frameworks will be Feyerabendian natural interpretations, together with Lakatosian normative basic judgments.

“What have I done to you to make you beat me these three times?” (Num 22:28). About the She-Ass that Spoke to the Pagan Soothsayer

„Cóż ci uczyniłam, żeś mnie zbił już trzy razy?” (Lb 22,28). O tym jak oślica przemówiła do pogańskiego proroka

Author(s): Anna Kuśmirek / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 32/2017

Keywords: zwierzęta; oślica; Balaam; Księga Liczb 22:21-35; ironia

Wśród osłów, które występują w tekstach biblijnych, wyjątkowe miejsce zajmuje oślica Balaama. Artykuł podejmuje próbę ukazania funkcji, jaką odgrywa ona w opowiadaniu o pogańskim proroku. Przemawia ona bowiem nie tylko ludzkim głosem, ale też widzi więcej niż sam Balaam, słynny pogański prorok. Znaczenie tego zwierzęcia w narracji o Balaamie zostało przedstawione w kontekście jego codziennej roli w Biblii, a także jako motywu literackiego zarówno w Biblii, jak i w literaturze pozabiblijnej. Zarówno z literatury porównawczej, jak i analizy fragmentu Lb 22,21-35 wynika, że ironia sytuacyjna związana z oślicą i jej zachowaniem ma charakter formy interpretacyjnej przekazu biblijnego. Jej rolą jest wzmocnienie tego przekazu. Słynny pogański widzący zostaje wyśmiany, ten, który ma widzieć, pozostaje ślepy na wolę Bożą. To zwierzę widzi anioła Pańskiego na ścieżce wróżbity, a nie on sam. To oślica trzykrotnie próbuje zatrzymać Balaama, ale ten ją bije, choć była mu zawsze posłuszna. Nie ma wątpliwości, że zachowanie swej oślicy Balaam odbiera jako przejaw jej głupoty i uporu w ścisłym tego słowa znaczeniu. Dopiero interwencja YHWH, który otwiera mu oczy, sprawia, że prorok widzi anioła (Lb 22,21-35). Zawarta w tym opowiadaniu ironia spełniła swoje zadanie. Świadczą o tym między innymi tłumaczenia targumów. Echo tej ironicznej interpretacji znajduje się w Drugim Liście św. Piotra. Autor tego pisma trafnie przypomina rolę oślicy, która „przemówiła ludzkim głosem i powstrzymała głupotę proroka” (2,16).

List of Plays Banned, List of Plays Not Recommended for the Stage

Lista sztuk wycofanych; Lista sztuk niezaleconych do wystawienia

Author(s): / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 1-2/2018

Keywords: censor;censorship after 1945;theatre history;Polish theatre;theatrical practices;

The sources presented in this issue of Pamiętnik Teatralny provide a look behind the scenes at the censoring of amateur theatre movement at the turn of the 1940s and 1950s. One of the most effective ways of curbing the spontaneous and vigorous phenomenon was to ban the plays that the state apparatus deemed politically dangerous. The “List of Plays Banned” and the “List of Plays Not Recommended for the Stage” are stark examples of how the procedure was implemented. The list of plays banned distinguishes between anonymous plays and plays by named authors and contains 711 and 135 items respectively. The list of plays not recommended for staging has 51 entries. This amounts to 897 titles in total. The source documents are undated and devoid of any descriptive notes. Based on other archival materials, however, it may be concluded that both lists were put together in the second half of the 1950s as a result of work of two state institutions tasked with censoring the theatre in the People’s Republic of Poland, namely the Główny Urząd Kontroli Prasy, Publikacji i Widowisk (Central Office for Control of the Press, Publications and Public Performances) and the Ministry of Culture and Art. The plays entered on the lists represent different genres, including operettas, vaudevilles, farces, vignettes, dramas of manners, historical dramas, folk dramas, etc. They are original pieces as well as adaptations, both Polish and foreign. Short forms prevail. Most of the texts banned by the censors are not highly artistic creations; they are popular pieces, published at the turn of the 20th century and in the inter-war period in such series as Teatr dla wszystkich or Naród sobie. They were also published in the first years following the Second World War as part of the Biblioteka Teatrów Amatorskich series.
