The review of: “Aquinas and the Cry of Rachel. Thomistic Reflections on the Problem of Evil. For Adelė Dirsytė” by John F. X. Knasas; Washington, DC: The Catholic University of America Pres, 2013. – 304 p. ISBN 978-0-8132-2176-2 The notice contains the review and analysis of the monograph by the United States of America professor of philosophy John F. X. Knasas Aquinas and the Cry of Rachel: Thomistic Reflections on the Problem of Evil. In this study, the author proposes Thomistic version of theodicy based on ratio entis metaphysics. He claims that such theodicy is free from the drawbacks characteristic to now fashionable personalistic and cosmological theodicies. He is convinced that his theodicy could bring consolation to Rachel. Nevertheless there are some serious reasons preventing readers to share author’s believe: the complexity of the subject and a lot of analogical categories expressed by scholastic Latin terms.

Dla każdego teologa teksty soborowe stanowią jedno z podstawowych źródeł teologicznych. Od 2007 roku mamy pierwszy komplet tekstów soborów powszechnych — od Soboru Nicejskiego (325) po Vaticanum I (1869–1870) — dzię- ki czterotomowemu wydaniu Dokumentów soborów powszechnych pod redakcją ks. Arkadiusza Barona i ks. Henryka Pietrasa. Szczególnie cenny jest kompletny zbiór tekstów źródłowych z towarzyszą- cym mu przekładem. Każdy wydawca wielojęzycznych tekstów zdaje sobie sprawę z ilości pracy, która towarzyszy takiemu przedsięwzięciu. Jest to praca imponująca: dokumenty pierwszych soborów (znajdziemy je w pierwszym tomie obejmującym sobory od Soboru Nicejskiego I do Soboru Nicejskiego II w 787 roku) są przedstawione w większości w układzie trójjęzycznym — oryginalny tekst grecki, starożytny łaciński przekład i polskie tłumaczenie zostały zaprezentowane symultanicznie, co niezwykle ułatwia poruszanie się po nich. Tom III, poświęcony soborom XV-wiecznym, został wzbogacony dodatkowo tekstami ormiańskimi i arabskimi. Ostatnia, czwarta część, ma dwa tomy, które obejmują soborowe teksty od Soboru Laterańskiego V (1512–1517) po Sobór Watykański I.

The review of: “Pajaustos Mintys: Estetikos Virsmas Estetologija/Aisthesis: from Senses to Insights and from Esthetics to Esthetology” by Juozas Mureika; Kaunas: AB spaustuvë “Spindulys”, 2006. ISBN 978-9955-466-28-6. In this review article concerning the monograph Aisthesis: from Senses to Insights and from Esthetics to Esthetology by J. Mureika, the notion of sensual perception as the category of esthetics is considered. The author of the article supposes that it was W. Tatarkiewicz, famous Polish historian of philosophy, who started to speak about that category as the object of serious esthetic inquiry. During the history of esthetics the problem of relation between esthetic perception as a category and the same as an emotion was regularly formulated and inquired; various solutions were proposed. The author of the review article expresses some doubts concerning the attempts of Mureika to define the esthetic perception as the foundation of esthetology. According to him, Mureika’s treatment of some persons as objects of esthetic perception is also shaky.

The review of: “Meno Formu Metamorfozës: Komparatyvistinë Focillono Ir Baltrušaičio Menotyra” by Odeta Žukauskienë; Bibliotheca Orientalis et Comparativa. VIII tomas Redkolegija: A. Andrijauskas, V. Bagdonavičius Vilnius: KFMI, 2006. ISBN 978-9986-638-83-4. My text discusses a new monograph by Odeta Žukauskienë, which is a unique phenomenon in art history works of the last decade and which is of no less quality than the best Western European texts. The evaluation of comparative art history conceptions as proposed by Focillon and Baltrušaitis has posed complex tasks. Thus, on the basis of authentic texts, the author continually moves to a broader discussion of the theoretical and methodological issues of comparative art history. It is obvious that the author is familiar with the context. Her education and academic background, as well as intellectual ambitions, permit her daringly to evaluate the cornerstone problems in contemporary comparative art history and to elucidate the essential similarities and differences in French, Austrian and German schools of comparative art history. What we have is not some cautious review-oriented work of a novice scholar, in which the competence of the author is shown in all ways possible, but rather a sensitively nuanced study by a mature theoretician. In her monograph the author reveals the peculiarity of the methodological approaches of Focillon and Baltrušaitis in researching the problems of the spread of art forms from the East to the western medieval culture, and she opens new promising fields of research and indicates the wide opportunities rendered by modern comparative research methods. The precisive manner of Odeta Žukauskienë’s style of writing and her attention to the notions translated and introduced into our human sciences are especially fascinating. In the perspective of her manner of writing, we can perceive high professionalism and the strict demands that the author has raised for herself. In my opinion, this original work should be published in western languages.

The review of: “Philosophy And Literature: Contrapositions, Parallels, Intersections/Filosofija Ir Literatûra: Priešpriešos, Paralelës, Sankirtos” by Jûratë Baranova; Vilnius: Tyto alba, 2006, 452 p. In her monograph Philosophy and Literature: Contrapositions, Parallels, Intersections, Jûratë Baranova analyses the problem of the relationship between philosophy and literature, which has become very relevant in the postmodern discourse. She posits that philosophy does not coincide with literature and that literature cannot be reduced to philosophy. Still she finds as much as five possible points where philosophy and literature approach each other. The first chapter “The Philosopher and the Writer” gives the methodological ground and the jumping-off point for the analysis of the problem. This chapter deals with two possible approaches to literature that view literature as a similar kind of cultural expression as philosophy. Each approach proclaims the experience of the parallelistic writing of texts (Derrida) or the structuring of the chaosmos (Deleuze). Derrida and Deleuze also return in the third chapter of the book in which Baranova considers different postmodern receptions of Marcel Proust and Franz Kafka. The second chapter of the book “The Philosopher or The Writer” deals with the phenomenon of when the same author is both a philosopher and a writer. Baranova’s theoretic works show a specific interest in the contemporary philosophy. Her originality lies in her capacity to maintain a theoretical distance and yet to create a special approach to postmodernism. This enables her to see the contemporary Lithuanian philosophy in a very unexpected way. In this book the phenomenon of Arvydas Šliogeris is treated as maybe the only original creator of post-Nietzschian (postmodern) philosophy in Lithuania. The most original part of this monograph is the one where the author herself analyzes some Lithuanian literature by using the cumulative prism of philosophical research. This book shows the erudition and bravery of the author because Baranova always oversteps the limits of disciplines.

It took quite some time for Trasianka and Surzhyk to find their way into Slavic studies as a subject in their own right. Obviously, the prevalent conservative academic climate before the demise of the Soviet Union was not auspicious for any studies of language beyond the beaten track of norm-enforcing structural linguistics. Gerd Hentschel, one of the editors of the present volume, was among the very first to undertake to make one of the mixed varieties, which form the topic of this volume, viz. Trasianka, the object of linguistic description based on field recordings. Preparatory to his five-year research project “Die Trasjanka in Weißrussland” [Trasianka in Belarus], funded by the Volkswagen Foundation, Hentschel organized in 2007 a conference on the topic “Studies on Belarusian Trasianka and Ukrainian Suržyk as a result of Belarusian- and Ukrainian-Russian language contact.” It took seven years to compile the proceedings of this conference and have the 18 contributions (six of them in English and the rest in German) published in the present volume. This, of course, raises the question of the publications being possibly outdated by now, the more so that in fact Trasianka and Surzhyk have seen a general upsurge in academic interest in recent years, which is reflected in a large number of publications. Some of the contributors appear, however, to have taken the trouble of updating their contributions in the long period that had elapsed since the conference, as shown by the general reference section at the end of the volume, which includes publications up to the year 2013 (not all of which appear to have been quoted, however, in the articles). In some cases, statements of individual contributions have been updated and revised by means of footnotes added by the editors. Notwithstanding these visible efforts to keep up with the evolution of the field, there is one adverse effect of severely delayed publication in this particular case, which cannot be hoped to be remedied by any efforts whatsoever. The conference took place at a date when most scholars were still in a state of finding their way through and coming to grips with what they were actually dealing with, and it must be added that many could have scored better if they were methodologically better equipped from the beginning. Neither a clear-cut phenomenology nor a sound method of how to approach both Surzhyk and Trasianka empirically had then been worked out. With few exceptions, most papers sum up the first groping advances on the topic, which abound with preliminary assessments of the linguistic situation and how it should be properly addressed. This causes many redundancies within the volume with many basic facts and competing assumptions about Surzhyk and Trasianka being repeated over and over again. Sound scholarly intuition and anecdotic observation still take the place of thorough empirical investigation. Seven years later, Surzhykology and Trasiankology has taken its first steps into large-scale empirical research, which, though empirical analysis in this field is still in its infancy, has taken the field definitely beyond what the present volume has to offer.

Since the beginning of the 1990s, the issue of climate protection has been identified with the determinants of energy security. Due to this fact, the climate policy and energy policy were treated together and, speaking about one problem, the influence of the other was pointed out and analyzed. This aspect grew in importance year by year. In the first decade of the 21st century, the process of creating energy security was analyzed step by step, differently for each of the entities due to the conditions conditioning it. This is because of the negative effects of climate change on the part of states, organizations, entities or societies, for example unexpected low-impact weather phenomena or disasters that carry a difficult to estimate the scale of risk. The problem of climate change, although discussed at such a broad forum, does not create uniform actions in this respect for all countries, because despite the growing awareness of the effects of climate change they still have a problem at the level of implementation of a common policy for sustainable development that sets the framework for environmental protection.
