Beloved Community: Martin Luther King, Howard Thurman, and Josiah Royce
No full textMartin Luther Kings primary emphasis was upon beloved community, a phrase he borrowed from Royce, but an idea that he shared with St. Augustine. Theories of the state tend to focus upon division, in which one stratum dominates another or others. Kings context is the US in the segregated Southa region whose internal divisions sharply instantiate the idea of the state as an unequal hierarchy of dominance. Kings appeal was less to end black subjugation than to end subjugation as such. Hence King was called by some a dreamer, given his background commitment to equality and community, ideals taking marginal precedence over his foreground commitment to liberty and autonomy. This article explores the notion of beloved community broadly and then specifically in Martin Luther King along with related notions in Howard Thurman (1900-1981) and in Josiah Royce (1855-1916).

The Political Theology and the Mediaeval Figure of a King
No full textThe aim of this paper is to present the mediaeval figure of a king and his
power as a subject blessed with two kinds of body: a natural and a community
body (political and, in a sense, a mystical one). The author of the text describes
numerous changes in the understanding of a king’s power in the mediaeval
centuries. The considerations of the essence of the figure of a mediaeval king
are placed in the context of the ideas of contemporary political thinkers in
order to show that politics needs symbols in all times. The symbolic character of a king is understood as an immortal and divine horizon; even if a king’s
power was understood at that time in secular terms, it did not follow the
desacralization of the person of a king. A mysticism of a king’s dignity was
becoming less and less traditionally religious, but it was still a mysticism.Autorka jest doktorantką w Instytucie Filozofii UW.2625326
