Pastoralny wymiar filozofii
Full text linkThe pastoral dimension of philosophy manifests itself in the service of truth which becomes part of the mission of the Church. It is revealed in the work of Jesus Christ, in the Church’s pastoral endeavours and in theology. The role of philosophy in the mission of the Church is ancillary and necessary at the same time, as it helps to answer man’s questions about the meaning of his/her being, cognition and action, the foundation of his/her knowledge and faith.The pastoral dimension of philosophy manifests itself in the service of truth which becomes part of the mission of the Church.

Problem of relation between luck and morality in selected ancient philosophers
Full text linkThe article presents views of selected philosophers, from antiquity and the Middle Ages, on luck and its role in morality. It shows that, for example, Plato did not consider moral luck. Aristotle did but without such concequences as Williams and Nagel did. Stoics also considered morality as independent from the fortune provided that the wise man is able to become independent from luck. In the ancient times, the role of luck or fate was undoubtedly perceived but not theorized. The luck was not the reason for the question of the meaning of moral responsibility
Godność jako logos życia
Full text linkThe text concerns the issue of dignity, which is the source of human rights as well as the particular freedoms: freedom of religion, conscience and thought. Because dignity is “absolute inner value” (I. Kant), it can be considered as the logos of human life – the immanent principle of his moral attitudes, duties, faith and the development of interpersonal relationships. For these reasons, we analyze the philosophical and theological contexts of dignity, in order to indicate also its transcendent foundations and determinants.The text concerns the issue of dignity, which is the source of human rights as well as the particular freedoms: freedom of religion, conscience and thought.

Emmanuel Mounier’s idea of personalizm
No full textThe term personalism and the problem of the mystery of person has long occupied a prominent place in the study of philosophy. One of the most famous proponents of the idea of personalism is a French philosopher Emmanuel Mounier. His broad philosophical education has become an inspiration to attempt to create a philosophy defending the value of man as a person. Starting from Christian thought he tried, using multiple and sometimes conflicting philosophies, to build a personalistic system, the center of which is a person. It was reflected in his selection of collaborators publishing in his journal “Esprit”, where philosophers of various denominations wrote, but the source of their common interests was a person. Personalism, according to Mounier, is a philosophy that comprehensively solves the problem of the person, on spiritual and material levels, and is a counterweight to the individualistic and collectivist tendencies. Trying to explain the mystery of the person, he does not give a precise definition, because the person is not the object, which can be simply defined. Personalism developed by Mounier is not a closed system, but just like the human being it is in the process of continuous becoming. It is a response to the crisis of man searching his identity as a person in the world

No full textThe preserved fragments of the Parmenides’ work is one of the oldest testimonies of the mystical experience in philosophy. Mystique meets here with metaphysics.

The Misticism of the Self in the Philosophy of Plotinus
No full textThe subject of the article is analysis of mystical experience in Plotinus’ philosophy from the perspective of the experience of the self. The author point to two distinct levels of contemplation present in Plotinu: the noetic and the hypernoetic one. The first is an intellectual intuition of the true being, while the latter is a union with the One above being through unknowing. Hypernoetic experience is discusses in terms of an experience of the core of the human self, which is inseparably united to the One in such a way that the ultimate experience of the self is, at the same time, the experience of the One as indistinct from the self. Plotinus, however, does not interpret this experience as a testimony to the objective identity of the One and the soul, but in terms of a subjective state which is, in a way, contradictory to the metaphysical state of affairs. The One is distinct from the soul, but in the ultimate experience become indistinguishable from it. The mysticism of the self within philosophy brings about an inevitable tension which is overcome by Plotinus through the use of distinction between the experience of reality and reality in itself.
