Fides, ratio et caritas, czyli o trzech władzach ujętych w kontekście augustyńskiej introspekcji
No full textAugustine, as a theologian, bases his philosophy mostly on the authority and deposit of Faith Revealed, but his philosophical dissertations are also concerned with the truth of human cognition. The Christian writer pays special attention that the christian faith need a mind, but also it implies a strong relationship to what is held than does ordinary belief, so revealde truth and simple belief are not identical. The author distinguishes between these concepts and he strongly emphasizes that the other beliefs may be strictly matters of faith resting upon the reasons. The second thesis is obviously concerned with the author’s attitude towards the systems undermining such possibility, namely the skepticism of middle academy. Additionally, the topic is undoubtedly noteworthy as the dissertations of this old Christian writer seem to reach far beyond his times – Augustine alights on conclusions that are in the spirit of contemporary thinking. It is also worth mentioning that Augustine in a way anticipates the contemporary concept of soul, which was originated by Descartes. Unquestionably, both writers link human spirituality to God. According to Augustine a soul recognizes itself by inner turning towards itself. A thorough analysis of this process reveals co-substantialism of three powers in this recognition: memory, intellect and will. It is thanks to this inner triad that a soul has the ability of identification in which it discovers itself as existing. The result of such self-discovery is love of the soul, proceeded by its intellectual insight. In a way, one has to know something in order to be able to love it. According to Augustine, it is impossible to love something one does not know. The problem of love will serve Augustine to present two vital issues. The first one is the theological reflection on the mystery of Holy Trinity. The other describes the perspective of communion with the Absolute itself, in the context of Bible anthropology. It is interesting to notice that the author claims this communion to be possible through intellectual cognition and love, which arouses this cognition by exciting desire towards the loved thing. Augustine believes that love is intrinsically triple (similarly to innerly active soul). There can be no love without the loving one, the loved being and the love which connects them. The three conditions, namely the soul, its love and cognition, also exist in the case of the soul’s love towards itself. According to Augustine, it is impossible to love God without the love for human being and likewise one cannot love human being without the love for God (who is love). As presented by Augustine, love is being discovered through intellectual cognition and thanks to it human being participates in the love of God, who is its only source.. It is through love that a human being has a participation in God Himself. For Augustine this has a dual character, both uniting and making similar to God. This unusual element of anthropology shows us that even now, in this life, a human being is granted with an opportunity of getting to know God and of inner (ontic) transformation triggered by the love of God.Zestawienie filozoficznego ratio z chrześcijańskim fides należy do kluczowych tematów doktryny Augustyna. Myśliciel ten zwraca szczególną uwagę na to, że człowiek właśnie po to został obdarzony zdolnością myślenia i pojmowania, ażeby zgłębiać tajemnicę chrześcijańskiego Objawienia. W refleksji chodzi mu nie tyle o wprowadzanie elementów zawierzenia w luki poznania dyskursywnego i odwrotnie, ile o uzasadnienie potrzeby rozumności w obrębie wiary. Ojciec Kościoła rozpatruje ową trudność wszechstronnie, w swoich przemyśleniach kieruje się maksymą Crede, ut intelligas, według której analizowana relacja staje się bardziej integralna. Wiara w autorytet Boski nie jest dla niego po prostu subiektywnym mniemaniem, zastępującym wiedzę pewną. Hippończyk, porządkując problem wiedzy, ukazuje wieloaspektowe ujęcie z możliwością wzajemnej korelacji fides i ratio. Pomimo że Augustyn jako teolog opiera swą filozofię przede wszystkim na autorytecie i depozycie Objawionej wiary, to jednak nie unika w swoich rozważaniach pytań o prawdziwość ludzkiego poznania. Problematyka tego zagadnienia dotyczy stosunku autora do systemów podważających tę możliwość, a więc sceptycyzmu średniej akademii. Dodatkowo temat ten jest o tyle istotny i warty uwagi, że rozważania autora zdają się sięgać daleko poza jego epokę – Augustyn na swój sposób antycypuje nowożytną problematykę duszy, skądinąd zapoczątkowaną przez Kartezjusza. Bez wątpienia u obu autorów występuje widoczne powiązanie duchowości człowieka z Bogiem. W ocenie filozofa dusza poznaje siebie właśnie poprzez introspekcyjne zwrócenie się ku sobie, dokładniejsza analiza jej działania ukazuje współsubstancjalność trzech władz: pamięci, intelektu oraz woli. To właśnie dzięki tej wewnętrznej triadzie mamy możliwość identyfikacji, w której odkrywamy wartość wypływającą z daru, jakim jest miłowanie. Zgodnie z myślą Augustyna trzeba w pewnym sensie coś wiedzieć, aby być zdolnym do kochania i nie można miłować tego, czego się w ogóle nie zna. Biblijny wątek agape posłuży Augustynowi do przedstawienia dwóch ważnych kwestii. Pierwszą z nich jest teologiczna refleksja nad tajemnicą Trójcy Świętej, natomiast ta druga – w kontekście jego antropologii – opisuje perspektywę komunii z samym Absolutem. Istota ludzka ma więc niejako udział w samym Bogu, autor wyraża tę prawdę słowami: „Et qui nisi Deo plenus est, qui plenus est dilectione? (…) Immo vero vides Trinitatem, si caritatem vides” (S. Aureli Augustini, De Trinitate, VIII, 8,12)

The prepared catalog edition has been divided into three articles. The first one contains a critical edition of the schematics of the Łuck and Żytomierz dioceses published for 1832, as well as information on the formation of the rules for the preparation of Łuck schematisms for printing from the mid-18th century to the outbreak of the November Uprising. In the second part, the administrative structure of the Łuck and Żytomierz dioceses, the condition of male and female monasteries in the diocese before their dissolution, and the history of Volyn churches will be presented on a schematic basis. In the third one, biographies of the clergy working in the Łuck and Żytomierz dioceses on the eve of the November Uprising will be published along with their speaking.The edition of the schematics of the Łuck and Żytomierz dioceses, which is handed over to the readers, makes it possible to get to know the condition of the Catholic Church of the Latin rite in Volhynia at the end of 1831.

Profesor Edward Ostrowski (1816‒1859) – twórca weterynarii polskiej: życiorys oczami współczesnego
No full textIn the offered article the authors present an extensive biography of Professor Edward Ostrowski (1816–1859) for the first time. His contemporaries had already called him the founder of Polish veterinary medicine. After analyzing the available historiography they came to the conclusion that due to the lack of sources, the scientist’s biography is only a set of short articles on the pages of different dictionaries. Therefore, an extremely valuable historical source is the article by Alois Kuczynski which was published in the pages of “Tygodnik Ilustrowany” in 1860. The quotations from his work used in the research allowed to strengthen the authors’ theses substantially and create a complete image of a scientist and a teacher in whose destiny Poland and Ukraine were united.In the offered article the authors present an extensive biography of Professor Edward Ostrowski (1816–1859) for the first time.

Luther’s Participative Ontology
No full textDistinguishing between a relational and participative ontology and highlighting the last like a paradigm of our time, the author shows how Luther uses both types of ontology for the explication of justification and how both express the same concept in different ways. The participative paradigm explains justification through the union between Christ and the believer and the following communicatio idiomatum. The author underlines that this is not a personal union, but that Christ and the believer become one body and that this union doesn’t change human nature but giving a person a new direction. The article closes with some ecumenical considerations of the participative ontology.Distinguishing between a relational and participative ontology and highlighting the last like a paradigm of our time, the author shows how Luther uses both types of ontology for the explication of justification and how both express the same concept in different ways.
