Abstracts

EN

In this essay two significant voices in a contemporary philosophical discussion on the essence of the heart meet. Dietrich von Hildebrand, a German origin phenomenologist, makes a contribution to new understanding of feelings (emotions) as conscious affective value responses which flow from the heart. Heart as understood by von Hildebrand has at least twofold nature for its affective and responsive character. The author formulates his new concept adopting phenomenological realism and the Catholic teaching on liturgy, saints and other spiritual domains. Mieczysław Gogacz who established a so-called school of consequential Thomism at the Cardinal Stefan Wyszyśski University in Warsaw (formely ATK) develops St. Thomas' theory of cognition. Heart as understood by Gogacz is strictly linked to reactions of the intellect. The talking of the heart and the word of the heart are of intellectual origin. This proposal is developed from a metaphysical realism position. In the last part of this paper we examine von Hildebrad's work from a Thomistic perspective and demostrate some disturbing implications of his statements. In a summary we propose that what makes Gogacz's philosophical achievement solid and reasonable is the metaphysical foundation of his research and intellectual debt to the texts of Aquinas himself.
