Априорното във философия на религията: Ранният Рудолф Ото

Author(s): Miroslav Bachev / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2016

The quest for a priori principle in religion is especially active in the German Enlightenment. Immanuel Kant is one of the first, who makes effort to justify religion as a natural religion (religia naturalis). After Kant the issue about the aprioristic status of the religious is discussed by Jakob Fries, Ernst Troeltsch, Rudolf Otto and others. Our main thesis is that the idea of the religious a priori in early Otto is formed on the basis of Jakob Fries and Wilhelm De Vette’ philosophies, while in the “The Idea of The Holy“ (Das Heilige, 1917) Otto relies almost fully on Kant, particularly on its epistemological and aesthetic ideas.

Louis Massignon i źródła „monastycznego protestu” Thomasa Mertona

Author(s): Gordon Oyer / Language(s): Polish Issue: 31/2018

In 1964 Thomas Merton hosted a retreat for several peacemakers. This retreat would break new ground for interfaith collaboration in social activism and feed into later anti-war efforts. Its mix of Catholic, mainline Protestant, and historic peace churches voices helped to forge new relationships in peace activism and cross-fertilize theologies of social engagement. What may surprise, however, is that it was not Merton’s monastic tradition that served as his primary resource to prepare for this retreat. For the most part, he sought inspiration for this task in the writings of Louis Massignon, a French Catholic mystic, linguist, and scholar of Islam.

Kobiecość niepełnosprawna w perspektywie prawa Bożego (luźne refleksje pedagoga nad wybranymi wątkami antropologii biblijnej)

Author(s): Mirosław Wójcik / Language(s): Polish Issue: 27/2018

The author took up the problem of disabled femininity in relation to the Revealed Truth and the God’s Law, from which he made a starting point to analyze the causes of contemporary social inequalities. The author’s interpretation of selected biblical themes is one of the possible and fully legitimate from a personalistic perspective. The author presents a rather bold, provocative position that the so-called “male perspective of the world”, full of illegitimate inequalities in the light of God’s plan, is a consequence of imposed and eternal interpretations of the Scriptures, which are stereotypical in understanding and shaping relationships between people. These stereotypes lead to social divisions. The article written by the pedagogue carries a message concerning the education of young generations, shaping awareness – in the spirit of tolerance, justice, crossing the divisions resulting from, for example, gender or health.

Le refus de postérité dans le roman européen de l’entre-deux-guerres – face au premier couple biblique.

Author(s): Aglika Popova / Language(s): English,French Issue: 1/2019

The aim of this study is to present the modern interpretations of the first Biblical couple in the interwar European novel. Works from French, Romanian and Bulgarian literature have been taken as examples on whose basis analysis has been made of the possible convergence of ideas in Europe during that period. The figure of the first Biblical family has been attracting writers in their aesthetic quests through the reflection on social models and the fulfillment of Man and Woman. Considering this context, the refusal of posterity becomes a painful theme. There is a dilemma between the desire to preserve the couple in the initial stage of innocence before the Fall and the intent to end the cycle of errors repeated by mankind. Last but not least, the theme raises the question of the newly emerging female identity which breaks away from the traditional roles of mother and wife.
