In the 17th and 18th centuries, Lubomirski princes belonged to the most powerful lines of Polish Commonwealth. A younger branch of this family, encompassing Janowiec (in the Radom county) in the middle of the 17th century, together with adjoining territories, became a member of the local socio-financial elite. Lubomirski family’s manor house in Janowiec was through three centuries one of the political and cultural centres in the borderland between the Sandomierz and Lublin regions. However, Prince Antoni Benedykt Lubomirski’s death in 1761 marked the beginning of the crisis in functioning of the manor house. Finally, in 1778 it experienced a fall when all Janowiec properties were sold by Antoni’s son, Jerzy Marcin. The article concerned is an attempt to reconstruct the composition and organization of the manor house of the Lubomirski family in Janowiec in the last years of its functioning. Due to a lack of the line archive, the research is based on church books of the parish in Janowiec, which brought about many interesting observations. On the basis of the material analysed it was possible to partly reconstruct the functioning of the manor house which, in the light of the church books, should be linked with Prince Franciszek Ferdynand Lubomirski, Antoni’s brother. What else was reconstructed is the composition of the clerks managing the property, the staff of the offices, as well as the band performing in the manor house. Some symptoms of the crisis in functioning of the manor house from the half of the 60’s were revealed.

The Discourse on Sexual Education in the Social, Health and Educational Press of the Kingdom of Poland at the Beginning of the 20th Century

The Discourse on Sexual Education in the Social, Health and Educational Press of the Kingdom of Poland at the Beginning of the 20th Century

Author(s): Aneta Bołdyrew / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2014

Keywords: Sexual Education; Poland; history

Kwestii wychowania seksualnego młodego pokolenia od początku XX w., wraz z żywiołowym rozwojem tendencji odnowicielskich w zakresie obyczajów, przypisywano szczególnie ważną rolę. Problematyka ta na początku XX w. była stale obecna w prasie społecznej oraz czasopismach zdrowotno-higienicznych i pedagogicznych. Pisano o potrzebie racjonalizacji procesu edukacji, a uświadamianie dzieci i młodzieży w zakresie życia seksualnego miało uchronić młode pokolenie przed niekorzystnymi wpływami „ulicy” i patologiami społecznymi, być podwaliną nowej moralności w zakresie obyczajowości seksualnej, umożliwiającej głębokie przeobrażenia społeczne. Wierzono w użyteczność edukacji seksualnej w zakresie poprawy stanu zdrowotnego i etycznego, w wymiarze indywidualnym i kolektywnym oraz jej prewencyjne działanie w zakresie chorób wenerycznych i prostytucji, co miało zapobiegać eugenicznie rozumianej degeneracji społeczeństwa. Zwolennicy wychowania seksualnego przekonywali, że racjonalne uświadamianie seksualne pozytywnie wpływa na zdrowie fizyczne, ale także psychiczne i emocjonalne młodzieży. Teksty publicystyczne miały istotne znaczenie dla popularyzacji idei edukacji seksualnej, docierając do różnych grup odbiorców, o różnym stopniu przygotowania. Odegrały znaczącą rolę w upowszechnianiu podstawowej wiedzy na ten temat, wykorzystywanej w procesie wychowania w środowisku domowym i szkolnym. Przyczyniły się do budowania korzystnego społecznego klimatu wokół problemów, wcześniej tabuizowanych i marginalizowanych. Artykuły, notatki i recenzje prasowe sprzyjały interdyscyplinarnemu ujęciu problemów edukacji seksualnej, traktowania tej dziedziny jako ważnego obszaru badań lekarzy, higienistów, pedagogów, psychologów, duchownych, etyków. Jednocześnie nadal faktem była tabuizacja wielu problemów związanych z seksualnością – na przykład pedofilii, a zwłaszcza homoseksualizmu – nawet w środowisku specjalistów.

The philosophy of the Polish culture by Mieczysław A. Krąpiec OP

Filozofia kultury polskiej w ujęciu Mieczysława A. Krąpca OP

Author(s): Paweł Tarasiewicz / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 19/2007

Keywords: Polish culture; Krąpiec; philosophy

Among recent philosophers interested in the Polish culture, Mieczysław Albert Krąpiec OP does occupy a prominent place. He devotes his attention to the Polish specificity in his stricte philosophical works, as well as in his appearances in the popular journalism. His philosophy is significantly featured by endeavoring to discover constitutive factors of the object of explanation. His analyses then do not point towards studying individual manifestations of what the Polish is, but do give the ultimate explanation first to the essence of the Polish culture, secondly to reasons of its existence, thirdly to its relation to truth, good, beauty, and sainthood. In the light of Krąpiec’s thought the Polish culture is a type of the common Christian culture specified by rational and emotional freedom, tolerance, and openness. As its reasons he indicates specific personal, environmental, and historical factors. In its relation to what is transcendental the Polish culture reveals its national (non tribal) character that predisposes it not only to participating in the intercultural dialog, but also to having its contribution to the cultural achievement of humanity.

The role of realistic philosophy in forming human legal culture

Rola filozofii realistycznej w kształtowaniu się ludzkiej kultury prawnej

Author(s): Paweł Skrzydlewski / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 19/2007

Keywords: philosophy; law; culture

The question, implicitly hidden in the title of the article, de facto raises a problem of philosophy’s role in human culture, and even culture’s purpose in human life. Undoubtedly, the answer presupposes an understanding of man, culture, and philosophy. The article finds its motive in facts of corrupted positive law, that sometimes not only seems to strike at fundamental human goods (life, health, personal development), but also becomes an instrument and program of constructing social life in totalitarian or criminal way (e.g. national socialism in Germany, or bolshevism in Russia). The author strives for answering to the following question: does the human law, as being a rule and measure of social activity legislated by the authority, in any sense need a philosophy, and if it does, then in what aspect, and what philosophy? The author claims that the relation between law and philosophy is indispensable, and its negation results in an anti-human consequence – a barbarian reality. Nowadays, man needs realistic philosophy that enables him to cultivate human culture, especially human legal culture, where law is regarded as a means and assistance in human development.

To overcome ontology

Przezwyciężyć ontologię

Author(s): Piotr Jaroszyński / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 19/2007

Keywords: ontology; metaphysics; philosophy

The author studies a difference between metaphysics and ontology. This difference becomes visible mostly when the ontic status of existence is examined. Though both metaphysician and ontologist refer to existence, they assign a different place or role to it; when the former refers existence to real being, the latter – to intentional or possible being. The author notices that a pass from metaphysics to ontology was made pretty easily, and if there was not the metaphysics of St. Thomas Aquinas, metaphysics would probably be identified with ontology without any objections. Ontology was a finial not only of Plato’s philosophy, but also Aristotle’s in the antiquity and John Duns Scotus’ in the Middle Ages. Ontology predominated modern metaphysics which consequently could receive a name of ontology. The author underlines that Duns Scotus played a key role in marginalizing existence in metaphysical cognition. He also had the biggest influence on coming ontology into existence, and on a way of approaching metaphysical issues in Thomism. The author claims that instead of overcoming metaphysics there is a fundamental need to overcome ontology. It is impossible, however, without recovering existence, which is neither accidence, nor modality, but the very first act of being.

Homo supermercatus – a major moral challenge for preaching

Homo supermercatus poważnym wyzwaniem moralnym dla kaznodziejstwa

Author(s): Alojzy Drożdż / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 7/2011

Keywords: hierarchy of values; homo supermercatus; McDonaldization; morality; preaching

Human is „moral being” regardless of conditions and the times in which he lives. It results from the fact, that human is a person, it means that he is spiritual-corporeal being, someone who is rational and independen. Despite the fact that the man is exposed to McDonaldization, subjected to numerous crises, it should be noted that he is still religious being and occurred processes did not deprive him of religious sense. Human is still sensitive to religious questions, even though he looks very often for answer outside Christianity, which is old – fashioned in media. It is essential challenge not only for preaching but also for whole Christian formation. A long time ago, Maurice Blondel said, that: „the times are the same like people are”. As it is known people are either moral good or moral bad. Tertium non datur. This also applies to human morality, which today is sometimes labeled as homo supermercatus. An important challenge is consumerist life style of many people, who live most of the time without awareness of development of appropriate hierarchy of values and necessary spiritual needs. These people usually satisfy their material needs without thinking of human dignity and their Christian vocation. Homo consumens – is a person, who is suspended between gift and commodity. Detailed sociological and psychological analysis give us a lot of arguments about the behavior of present – day human. This man seems to have many features, which indicate that, „he desires to have more”, instead of „to be a human more and more”. Today, principle is known: I consume, therefore I am. Strong influence of ethical utilitarianism on daily culture of life was noticed long ago. For example – in the book The New Economic Gospel of Consumption, written by E. Cowdrick in 1927, we can find interesting opinion, that we live in times, when people are forced to regular consume of goods and services. It also impinges on assessment of current homiletic thinking. Author emphasizes, using criteria from ethic of J. Woroniecki, that the human always was and is just jealous, mistrustful, suspicious and first and foremost selfish and very greedy. It causes, that he is a person of many crises, which can be solved effectively by homiletic teaching. Analyzing behavior, attitudes and basic sources of numerous crisis (identity crisis, family crisis, political crisis, educational crisis etc.) of consumerist human, author develop thought of Marciano Vidal, that this person is a man of „lost ethical home”. Under the pulpit and before the alter – we do not have today – saying colloquially – „empty people” and „neuter people”. We have deeply hurt people in their humanity. Moreover we have people with many difficulties in faith. There are difficulties arising from human life experience and civilization’s difficulties. It turns out that only Christianity, with its integrity of salvation, is able to help such people effectively.

The role of philosophical encyclopedias in the history of culture

Rola encyklopedii filozoficznych w historii kultury

Author(s): Piotr Jaroszyński / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 15/2003

Keywords: philosophy; encyclopedia; history; culture

Philosophical encyclopedias appeared only by the end of Middle Ages in the Western Europe. Earlier there were certain works which the name of encyclopedias received much later as they contained a set of the whole knowledge of their times, e.g. Rerum divinarum et humanarum antiquitates by M. T. Warron (116-27 B.C.), or Etymologies by Isidore of Seville (560-636). The author correlates philosophical encyclopedias, e.g. Instauratio magna by Francis Bacon, or Great French Encyclopedia, with historical changes of the character of philosophy, and concludes that there is a need of an encyclopedia which will recover the proper name and status of philosophy in culture as the love of wisdom and truth. He hopes that such a task will be carried out by The Universal Encyclopaedia of Philosophy edited by the Polish Association of St. Thomas Aquinas.

Lem's new science

Lema nowa nauka

Author(s): Piotr Olszewski / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 15/2003

Keywords: Lem; science; civilization

The author discusses the relation between industrial revolution and the modern conception of science, and its consequences. He tries to explain the essence of „science-fiction” literature which stems form the proper (modern and contemporary) understanding of science. He analyzes selected works of a Polish outstanding “s-f” writer, Stanisław Lem, whose thought can be located in the „post-Bacon” paradigm of science. Lem renounces philosophy as a Greek „divine knowledge” and favors sciences which lean on reliable, mathematical grounds. These sciences are to be a remedy for problems caused by the scientific and technological character of our civilization. The author also analyzes Lem’s project of future science, its main premises, possible realization, and characteristic methods.
