The author analyzes individual and current comparisons. In the daily language functions the comparisons clichés. Individual comparisons testify to personal contact with the sacred text. However, often the experience of the sacred text in the form of comparisons may be the result of the influence of the environment.

The author recalls Klepacz's unique work on the poet Karol Hubert Rozstworowski. He untiedly presents his research on literature in the monographic study on God's idea of August Cieszkowski's philosophy of history and in others works. It follows ideas from Konrad Górski. This is the activity of Bishop Klepacz concerning the jury problem of the Polish Bishops' Prize in 1949 which, apart from scientific research, is the subject of this paper.

This was the lectures given by Bishop Klepacz on the radio which remain worthy of mention. Unfortunately they are almost unknown. This communication constitutes an analysis test lectures given on Vatican radio during Second Vatican Council. In the conference texts Bishop Klepacz reveals himself as a man of dialogue with the contemporary world and with the people of his time. The bishop passionate about the love of the Church and at the same time a great humanist knew how to find the place of the Gospel in the modern world. He also stays for us an exceptional example of the dialogue in Poland where we can observe so many tensions between the secular world and Catholicism. Bishop Klepacz's sermons can encourage us to participate actively in the Church's dialogue with the world today.

Based on Sedlak's "Technology of the Gospel", the author presents reflections on the Good News from two points of view: the physicist who seeks the truth about the Creator and the created world, and the mystic who contemplates it (the author benefits from it from Faustyna Kowalska's book entitled "Divine Mercy in My Soul").

The paper is based on analysis of the relationship between two hermeneutic notions, logos and phōné, in Jacques Rancière’s philosophy, and their application to the socialist realism’s criticism. His well-known discourse on politics and democracy as a disagreement Rancière bases on the hermeneutical clash between the two terms, expressed in a social and political struggle for political rights and the recognition of existence in turning away from logos. The Order of the logos requires hermeneutical identification with the set of recognized terms and represents, what Rancière calls, the police logic. On the other hand, the freedom from the logos is set as a request for subjecting, expressed in a voice (phōné), which is raised against words, laws, rules (logos), and therefore represents political logic. In order not to remain on the theoretical level, we present the mentioned logocentrism pattern during the Croatian socialist realism as an example of Rancière’s consideration on autocratic logocentrism. On the example of literary works of Šegedin, Desnica and Parun, who wrote their own logos differently than allowed, a socialist realism’s critique is presented as an example of Rancière’s analysis of the police logic under the logos of which permits only an identical hermeneutic discourse.

The author tries to analyze the method of Heidegger's early philosophy, that is, Heidegger's phenomenological-hermeneutical method. This subject is accessed bearing in mind Heidegger's understanding of one of the key concepts of phenomenology in general – the notion of intentionality – on the basis of which Heidegger himself builds his own understanding of phenomenology. The analysis of the notion of intentionality begins with Heidegger's insights from History of the Concept of Time and ends with an analysis of the implementation of the concept of intentionality in Heidegger's Being and Time. Afterwards, the autor focuses Heidegger's notions of understanding and hermeneutics and points out the necessity of the hermeneutical aspect of Heidegger's method.

The Neoplatonic commentaries on Aristotle’s works have always been considered somehow suspicious. That is partly related to the doctrinal commitments of the commentators, partly with the hermeneutical strategies to which they seem to recur. Both of these reasons have also give place to the accusation of distortion and misunderstanding of Aristotle’s philosophy. In the following paper I want to perform an exercise of disclosing the hermeneutical procedure that one of this commentators applies to one of the passages of the first book of the De Anima. The commentator is Philoponus, the passage is the refutation of the soul-harmony theory. My aim is to show that, despite the doctrinal commitments that the commentator may have, his methodology follows Aristotelian guidelines. I hope that this could open perspectives on the value that the commentators must have as philosophers, rather than merely interpreters or paraphrasers.

The article assumes that Čiurlionis’ creative heritage can be articulated from the perspective of everyday aesthetics. First, the conception of everyday aesthetics, currently in a stage of intense formation, is presented without encompassing all of its current multifaceted aspects and branches. Second, the main questions posed in the article include: How far has Čiurlionis experienced his everyday life aesthetically? How much did he reflect it? Did he understand everyday life and its constituent elements separately or subordinated to art? Can these miscellaneous aesthetic experiences of everyday life that Čiurlionis so subtly documented in his letters and other writings, be researched in the everyday life conception of aesthetics.

Textual and literary criticism is an important step in the process of Bible translation. It facilitates the choice of the more original text and helps to understand the differences in textual variants. This article is, by and large, an exercise in textual criticism, with a particular focus on the story of David and Goliath in 1 Sam 17.

The culture of laughter in every nation’s tradition, including Ukrainian, is characterized by its peculiarities. With its folklore roots, the comic of all kinds has been transformed into fiction. Such receptive relations are particularly close between folk oral tradition and the literature in the period of Romanticism. In this article, the authors are the first to analyse the interaction between categories of the comic and the tragic in featured short stories about Cossacks by O. Storozhenko. The research offers an attractive prospect for the further exploration of other O. Storozhenko’s works as well as for comparative studies of works by other authors’ in the indicated period.

After having completed his studies at Cracow, Bologna, and Padua, Ioannes Baptista Novosoliensis was active as a private teacher of rhetoric in Cracow. An important representative of Ciceronianism in Central Europe, Novosoliensis was the author of several editions of and commentaries on the works of M. T. Cicero, of which the most interesting one is his commentary on the First letter ad Quintum fratrem (Cracow, 1528). It is one of the earliest, if not the earliest, commentary on this letter devoted to just and wise provincial administration. The work of Ioannes Baptista Novosoliensis illustrates the high standard of philology pursued in sixteenth-century Slovak-Polish scholarly circles.

Broadly speaking, behind every literary movement can be found a sort of heritage, both intellectual and cultural. As it is the case in the other countries’ literature, the Turkish literature too has its own rich and different sources which constitute some parts of the literature such as feelings, ideas, imagination, and social tendencies and inclinations, etc. Poets and writers of the literature in question try to explain all these in their works. One of the sources that Divan poets use is the Koran. As a result, in this context, we can say that the Koran is one of the sources that poets make use of. Poets use the Koranic verses, which guide people in various manners, quoting these verses either as “meaning” or as “words.” Because, as unshakable principles of the religion these verses are at the same time are the principles of the social life in which the poet himself lives. Birrî Mehmed Dede too, as one of these poets, who uses this source in his poetry by quoting some verses from the Koran. In addition to his eulogy poems such as lyric poems and date poems he also use verses in other types of poetry. Birrî gives examples showing that he himself is aware of the difference between “ahsen” quotation (the more or the most beautiful) and “hasen” quotation (the beautiful). The examples he gives indicate that he understands and he is able to use this art in poetry.

This article aims to show that although Doris Lessing rejects the relatively narrow categorisation of her writing as “feminist”, the two short stories she wrote in 1963, “To Room Nineteen” and “How I Finally Lost My Heart”, make the claims of second wave feminism visible. As they illustrate a wholistic attitude that sees human beings beyond labels, the stories’ emphasis on the need to bridge the artificial gap between public and private realms supports the second wave feminism’s slogan: “The personal is political!” The article argues that as social constructs that conceptualize different realms of everyday life, public and private spaces are understood as gendered, therefore a separation between them is part of a patriarchal political structure that imposes a restriction on women’s personal lives. As a writer who problematizes artificial divides in social life, Doris Lessing clearly imbues her works with this consciousness that goes hand in hand with the central discussions of second wave feminism’s consciousness raising groups.

Angela Carter’s widely-acclaimed novel The Passion of New Eve is a dystopian text in which a bleak, rotten, and destructive setting provides the backdrop for the problematization of such issues as gender and politics, and the collapse of binaries. It is significant to focus on the novel’s dismantling of binaries, especially in terms of the problematized distinction between human and non-human, biological body and machine, inside and outside, man-made and natural. Such dismantling is especially manifest in the physical characterization of Eve/lyn, the Mother, Zero, and Tristessa. All of these characters are presented as forms of excess. Moreover, the spaces they inhabit reinforce and perpetuate their excessiveness as well as grotesque depictions. In this respect, this paper argues that grotesque bodies embedded within grotesque landscapes in The Passion of New Eve makes it possible to have an ecological discussion of the relationship between the body and the environment.

As part of the advertising strategy, sexual appeals attract consumers’ attention and lead them to buy the product. In this paper, the sexual appeals in two poultry product advertisements have been analyzed in the context of human-animal relationship and particularly from an ecofeminist perspective which focuses on “the sexual politics of meat”. This paper also aims to bring together two different points of view, one of which defines advertisement as a handy tool for customer and company whereas the other critically analyzes advertisement texts, and focuses on the ideology behind the advertisement. Adopting critical discourse analysis method, this study focuses on two Turkish TV ads, i.e. Şenpiliç advertisement feauturing Saba Tümer and Zuhal Topal, and Burger King advertisement featuring Esra and Ceyda Ersoy. These ads are interpreted via textual analysis technique which divides the meaning into three layers: Surface Meaning, Intended Meaning and Cultural or Ideological Meaning. The findings reveal that gender stereotypes combine with sexual appeals in these advertisements. These appeals seem to become the basis for making woman's body more appealing, and turn the animal's body into an ‘absent referent’. Finally, these ads contribute to and lay the ground for the silent approval of sexual exploitation of woman and animal in consumers’ minds and everyday life.
