For the Authority of Teacher

O autorytet nauczyciela

Author(s): Piotr Jaroszyński / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 22/2011

Keywords: authority; teacher; classical culture; Western Civilization

The author undertakes such problems as whether teachers are to have any authority, what kind of authority can be possessed by them, and what the authority of teacher can be conditioned by. He points to assignments of teacher and asks whether he or she can complete them at the present times. In his opinion, teachers do fail to or do complete their assignments rather rarely, not because of their reluctance, but because they do not understand the ideological context of their working. For the educational system is settled in a manner which deprives teachers of their authority. The author claims that teachers can become authorities only if the relation between them and their students has a personalist character, i.e. when both them and their students are recognized as personal agents. In the light of classical metaphysics, while teachers share the equal ontic status with their students, they differ from the students in the development of their personal potentials. Teachers, as eminently developed persons, can become authorities, as they are qualified to assist their students in their personal development. The author concludes that to recover the human face of the world it is necessary to retrieve the authority of teacher.

Author(s): Piotr Mitzner,Janusz Przewłocki / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 34/2002

Wepoce przed zabójstwem arcyksięcia Ferdynanda bale kostiumowe, żywe obrazy, maskarady i teatr amatorski - lączyly się, przeplatały i nie wyznaczano między nimi sztywnych granic. Maskarady urządzano od zawsze, ich źródło łatwo dojrzeć w tradycji antycznej. Żywe obrazy, które też pojawiły się w starożytności, nie przetrwałydrugiej wojny światowej, a i w Dwudziestoleciu uznawanoje za rozrywkę staroświecką. Nie okazała się więc tak trwała,jak maskarada.

Culture and Law in Pluralistic Society

Culture and Law in Pluralistic Society

Author(s): Józef Krukowski / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2016

Keywords: polis; family; man

The current debate on family is subject to rapid social changes which have had colossal negative impact on economy itself and on the economy of entire countries. The purpose of social and family life is not to bound, but to develop the human being. Thoughts about the future of the family are associated with education in the very sense that is pointed out by human experience. It can be said that Aristotle’s legacy is as follows: for subject, it is necessary to reflect pro futuro basic demand of to be “together with others,” to act “with others” and, on which depends realization and completion of the subject’s being.

Nature as the locus of theological cognition

Natura jako miejsce poznania teologicznego

Author(s): Renata Rogozińska / Language(s): English,Polish / Issue: 9/2016

Keywords: Christianity; Catholic Church; God; the sacred; St Thomas Aquinas; Neo-Platonism

The text attempts to answer the question of whether, and to what extent, sacralisation of landscape is justified on Christian grounds, and whether religious and landscape art can be equated in status, as Jerzy Nowosielski proposed. The idea of sacralisation of nature is closer to the Eastern Orthodox Church, with its tendency to divinize man, or even (considering some comments) the whole of created reality. However, the author’s attention is focused on Catholic thought, based on Thomism and Scholasticism. The questions discussed are: to what degree, according to St Thomas Aquinas’ teaching, nature participates in God’s sanctity; what indeed nature’s sacrality is; and, hence, in what sense, from the point of view of the Church, landscape art can claim to transcend the limits of physicality and to visualize the supernatural character of being. Thomas Aquinas’ views on the mutual relation between God and the world, art and nature, are confronted with the Neo-Platonic philosophy, in order to highlight their specificity and uniqueness. Currently, the Church’s teaching on the relation between God and the world in fact conforms to the long tradition of treating the created reality as a sign, indicating its Creator, imbued with the power, good, and beauty of the spiritual world. The Church, while emphasizing a strong connection between God and nature, still accentuates God’s transcendence, being aware of the lasting tension between the sacred and the profane. On the other hand, nowadays, in the teaching of the Church, the long tradition of stressing the aspect of God’s transcendence is counterbalanced by the emphasis on God’s immanence. Opposing cosmic pessimism, which proclaims lack of any general sense to the universe, the Church has begun to underline the sacramental nature of the world. According to certain theologians, we could even speak of an ontological co-dependence of both realities; however, this claim does not contribute to the “Pantheization” or “Neo-Platonization” of Christianity.

Metamorphoses of the Idea of Social Justice. Part I: Social Justice as a Legal and Distributive Justice

Przeobrażenia idei sprawiedliwości społecznej. Część I: Sprawiedliwość społeczna jako sprawiedliwość ogólna i rozdzielcza

Author(s): Andrzej Stroiński / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 1/2018

Keywords: ethics; philosophy of politics; social justice; legal justice; distributive 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 “social justice”. This paper brings up some applications of the notion. The author, in inevitably approximate analyses, tries to show the specificity of particular types of meanings assigned to the notion of “social justice”. The article focuses on the identity of this term with justice framed as a legal and distributive justice.

Why Catholic University?

Po co uniwersytet katolicki?

Author(s): Piotr Jaroszyński / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 27/2017

Keywords: university; culture; Academy; Lyceum; Christianity; the humanities;

The crisis of university is the occasion for cogitation on the specifics of university as university and as Catholic university. Three major phases of functioning of universities animated by special cognitive passion may be perceived in the history of Western culture. Within the first pre-university phase, the cognitive passion was focused on the reality around man and the attempt to ultimately account for it. Plato’s Academy and Aristotle’s Lyceum were the outcome of that approach. Within the second phase, the cognitive passion was focused on God, which specifically characterised Christianity associating Revelation with the capacity to comprehend reality. Within the third phase, university adopted the form of a polytechnic for which knowledge is most of all the power manifested as the passion of ruling over the world. That last phase has prevailed until today and constitutes the threat to the humanities. The humanities should be revived by means of regaining respect for truth and image of man as human being. And these two tasks should be incorporated into the mission of Catholic university.

The Common Relations Among Culture and Faith, Christian Spirituality—Historic View

The Common Relations Among Culture and Faith, Christian Spirituality—Historic View

Author(s): Stanisław T. Zarzycki / Language(s): English / Issue: 5EV/2017

Keywords: culture; faith; education; liturgy; humanism; atheism; symbiosis of faith and culture

The broken relation among culture and faith becomes “drama of our times” (Paul VI), thus, overcoming that broken relation has always been a challenge for the Church, catholic theology and spirituality. This article, first, signals the penetration of culture into Christianity and makes you more familiar with what ancients fought about culture. And next, gives two positive examples about shaping the culture through the faith; first, in the Karolin epoch (7th—9th century), using the example of Benedict monks’ contribution, second, in the golden era of French spirituality (17th century), using the examples of Saint Francis de Sales’ spiritual teachings and Saint Vincent de Paul’s educational and charity works. The further part of the article shows the progressing departure of culture from faith beginning with French Renaissance and through the era of Enlightenment until the complete cessation of common relation in philosophical currents of 19th century. The last part of the article shows the new relation of the Church to the world and culture initiated by the Second Vatican Council, which further was continued and developed through the teachings of the Popes Paul VI and John Paul II, and evangelism activity. Such relation is based upon a wide understanding of culture (what was worked out by secular science and expresses themselves (among other things) in inculturation of the faith, faith’s creative role of culture and intermediary role of faith in realization of evangelization.

Classical rhetoric and modern linguistics: Meeting fields

Retoryka i językoznawstwo – obszary spotkania

Author(s): Artur Mamcarz-Plisiecki / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 6/2018

Keywords: rhetoric; linguistics; semantics; pragmatics; theory of communication

The article is attempt to comparison of two fields of knowledge: classical rhetoric and modern linguistics. Contemporary linguists treat rhetoric as a historical and pre-scientific discipline. Rhetoric also seemed to be too prescriptive and formalized for many theorists. After the reform of artes liberales which was made in Renaissance by Peter Ramus (Pierre de la Ramée) rhetoric was limited only to the art of oratory and theory of style (stylistics). In 18th century rhetoric (like all the humanities) was thrown away from “garden of sciences.” And in 19th century even this classical concept of art was rejected. This is the reason that nowadays many scholars look at rhetoric rather distrustfully. The author of this article argues that classical rhetoric is modern and useful to contemporary linguistics. In conclusion the author suggests that in discourse studies rhetoric should be understood as a general frame for next detailed researches.

POLAND AND THE EUROPEAN UNION IN HUMOROUS TEXTS

Polska i Unia Europejska w tekstach humorystycznych

Author(s): Grzegorz Żuk / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 16/2004

Keywords: POLISH AND EUROPEAN NORMS; PUBLIC OPINION; RUSKIN'S SCRIPT THEORY

The article aims to investigate the relationship between Poland and the EU in jokes as a homogeneous body of text, political jokes being firmly entrenched in the Polish tradition. The corpus for analysis consists of jokes about the EU found on the Internet. Before the nationwide referendum on Poland's accession to the EU, jokes functioned as one of the means of shaping public opinion, mainly used by the opponents of the accession. An analysis of the jokes, based on Victor Ruskin's script theory, showed divisions and conflicts of interests in Polish public life, perceived by the opponents of Poland's integration with the EU as real threats: programmed atheism, moral relativism, bureaucracy, propaganda, economic decline and eventually loss of independence. Superior to all anti-union jokes is the opposition of scripts POLISH NORMS - EUROPEAN NORMS, the former being social time-honoured norms, traditional, firm and verified through the experience of many generations of Poles, whereas the latter - a bureaucratic artifact, something alien, not subjected so far to the test of time, something forcefully imposed on the Polish society.

PULCHRUM SEQUITUR ESSE REI: At the Source of the Transcendental Beauty

PULCHRUM SEQUITUR ESSE REI. U źródeł transcendentalności piękna

Author(s): Andrzej Maryniarczyk / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 3/2019

Keywords: beauty; transcendentals; metaphysics; creatio ex nihilo; person; contemplation; love;

In the article, the author discusses insights into the nature of beauty obtained in the field of realistic metaphysics. The research in question has been focused on two questions, namely, ‘What is beauty?’ and ‘Why is beauty?’ Since no ultimate answers have been offered, the dispute over the understanding of beauty is still ongoing in metaphysical inquiries. The main area of investigation is that of the nature of beauty and of its source, the fundamental question being, ‘What and why is beauty?’ Is beauty a universal value, or a paradigm (paradeigma) of all beautiful things? Or is it inherent in any and every real being? However, the discovery of beauty as a transcendental prompts the following conclusions: (1) In the case of any being, beauty reflects the fulfillment of its existence. The ultimate fulfillment of beings consists in the unity (synthesis) of the good and the truth incorporated in them (in the case of natural beings) by the intellect and the will of the Creator, or (in the case of artefacts) by those of the artist. (2) The transcendental beauty of beings reveals to us the source of the life of a human being conceived as the life of a person. (3) Beauty denotes and expresses the objective ‘conditions’ of the total fulfillment of a personal being. (4) Detachment of beauty from being as such and approaching beauty as an independent value which exists outside the world of real things, or relating it to merely a single category of beings (as is the case e.g. in contemporary aesthetics), is a consequence of a misunderstanding of the reality. Such an approach entails absolutization of a chosen aspect of a lived-through experience, of an experience or of a viewing, which undermines the essence of beauty, namely, the fulfillment of a being accomplished within the unity of (1) truth and goodness, (2) will and reason, and (3) love and contemplation.

BEAUTIFUL LANDSCAPE AS A PUBLIC GOOD: Representations and Aestheticization

PIĘKNY KRAJOBRAZ JAKO DOBRO PUBLICZNE. Reprezentacje i estetyzacje przestrzeni miejskich

Author(s): Mariusz Czepczyński / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 3/2019

Keywords: cultural landscape; representation; aestheticization; public beauty; city; public good;

Beauty becomes one of the most important public goods: a demand for beauty is increasing together with a growing level of satisfaction of the basic human needs. Public beauty, inscribed in cultural landscape, becomes its inherent component, particularly significant for urban identities and local communities. The theory of public beauty, based on the theory of public goods, defines the beauty of a landscape in terms of excludable and rivalrous properties, distinguishing the public, community, club, and private beauty. The theory emphasizes an important role of beauty stakeholders, including decision-makers, inspirers, influencers, flâneurs, and daily users, who perceive beautiful landscapes through visions of urban beauty utopias.

“IT IS THE SHAPE OF LOVE.” The Concept of Beauty, as seen in the Output of Cyprian Norwid

„KSZTAŁTEM JEST MIŁOŚCI”. O idei piękna w twórczości Norwida

Author(s): Piotr Chlebowski / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 3/2019

Keywords: Norwid; beauty; love; work; aesthetics; Promethidion; Rzecz o wolności słowa; human being;

The article is an attempt at a synthetic examination of the concept of beauty in Norwid’s work. The paper highlights the most important aspects of this complex problem. The author of Promethidion conceives of art and beauty as if they were transcendental categories in their classical sense, manifested by the principles of perfection and their ontological inevitability, as well as by ethical autonomy. The originality of the poet’s aesthetic concepts is, to a large extent, determined by his anthropological insight, the object of his focus being such important issues as work, national art, folklore, and style. The concept of love—although strongly rooted in the Gospel and in the patristic thought—also finds its justification here. According to Norwid, the ultimate point of reference and the origin of love is God, whereas the human being is its subject. The article emphasizes the scheme Norwid used to construct his aesthetic ideas based on a specific vision of man as a being immersed in mortality, in history, as well as in the present moment, and, simultaneously, related to the ‘harmony of creation.’ Any incarnation of a creative concept requires effort and work, including physical work, at the same time paradoxically—in this physical aspect— going beyond the horizon of the earthly life. The relation of the creator to the created, by analogy to God’s creative attitude, manifests its fullness in love and through love.

Philosophical and Ideological Consequences of Man’s Cognitive Abilities

Filozoficzne i światopoglądowe konsekwencje możliwości poznawczych człowieka

Author(s): Piotr Mrzygłód / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 1/2018

Keywords: cognition; reason; common sense; truth;knowledge; epistemological realism; cognition’s limits;reality;

The problem of the existence of the unfailing measures of the authenticityof our cognition is what causes many “sleepless nights” to all epistemologists.Hence questions about the object of our cognition and the limits ofour intellectual perception of reality – still belong to the most fundamentalepistemological questions. The reasonableness of our contact with theworld and the sense of science and philosophy depend on the satisfactorysolution of these problems.Filozoficzne i światopoglądowe konsekwencje możliwości poznawczych człowieka42Many of the aporias defined in this text, concern not the cognitive techniquesor biological mechanisms of acquiring and perception of varioussensations, but much more basic problems. This study attempts to determinewhat “level of reality” of our cognition of the world we can actually reach.In other words: What do we really experience? “The very object itself ”(i.e. tree, pen, glass, sheet of paper, etc.) or rather its immaterial reflexes,so called “phenomena” (gr. phainomenon) of these “occurrences“? If so, itmight turn out that we are not in fact experiencing the external (material)things at all, but rather the intellectual ones, immaterial “representations”of the real ones which are created because of them.All these issues make us face the most important question of the cognitivephilosophy: Does reason, and connected with it “common sense”- cognitiverealism, always have a chance to defend themselves? In other words:do the natural existence and logic laws, which we intuitively use every day,warrant sufficient enough, objective cognition of surrounding us reality, orshould we look for other, new ones, so we would not be eaten completelyby our skepticism?If even the attempt to find the answers to these problems, which areoften referred to as “forbidden fruit” of so called “skeptical sting”, isn’t aneasy thing to do, so much more difficult are the ambitions to achieve satisfactoryanswers in that matter. This is one of the many conclusions of this– just “scholar” – publication.
