The aim of the article Outline and Consequences of Theodicy of John Paul II is to present the main ideas of the Polish pope on suffering (the moral evil is not analyzed). In Crossing the Threshold of Hope he accuses theodicy of judging God himself, of being a kind of Pilate. His main document on the suffering Salvifici doloris brings us a variety of answers, including contradictory ones. For on the one hand the pope declares suffering to be a mystery, but on the other hand he gives quite clear, ‘not mysterious' solutions of suffering (a punishment, a trial, an occasion to do good, suffering for the salvation of others). It is surprising to realize that on other occasions he decisively abolishes the Old Testament's conviction by saying that suffering cannot be called a punishment. The main idea of Salvifici doloris is, however, his view that human suffering can have a redemptive value. The article goes in more detail about the consequences of this view.

The article argues for the need to give the autonomy to the personal thinking in the domain of philosophy and worldview. The basic assumption is that personal thinking, which contains the weak and particular side of human individual, is one of the fundamental elements of philosophy and worldview but can be expressed in them, because of this weakness and particularity, only in a hidden form. The fact that it must be hidden is the source of deformation of personal thinking not only in public domain of philosophy and worldview but most importantly in the personal thinking itself. Giving the autonomy to it, not only can we purge the public sphere of large areas of falsification but also offer the human individual a chance for a better self-understanding as it enables it to develop without trying to justify itself in public terms. This process seems to be enabled by the fact that the contemporary public culture itself is weakened by relativism, inflation of words and views or the dominance of superficial, popular culture.

The article is an attempt to describe a phenomenon that can be called the existence mysticism. It is a simple consequence of theism and consists in the conviction that God who intervenes in the human world must intervene in human existence. Since God according to monotheism is all powerful it can be expected from any believer that whatever happens to him is not so much an expression of a free will of any creature or the nature of things themselves but first of all and essentially an expression of all-powerful God. This observation has a very important influence on understanding of faith that cannot be conceived of as a frivolous decision to believe but as a result of a long processes of existential development. The article shows that the fact that evil is a part of human existence and not only an intellectual event that is to be explained by theodicy creates an enormous challenge for theism and makes faith more dramatic than it is normally maintained.

In this article I claim that there is a hidden assumption of the demonic character of God in the exclusivist and inclusivist theism. Exclusivism and inclusivism assume that God is partial and in fact does not care about most people in the world, choosing to reveal himself fully only in one part of the world. This kind of neglect for other people reflects the standard ethnocentrism and seems to be an expression of it. The only way to avoid the view that God is demonic is to accept the religious pluralism. The idea of religion would need to be changed: from the idea of religion as a place of revelation of God to the idea of religion as a place for searching for God. Accepting religious pluralism would lead, however, to the destruction of religions as we know them, since the core of their doctrines is based on the assumption of their superiority.

The paper considers the issue of truth, pointing out that the truth as it is commonly understood is a reference of the personal truth of some elements of the public sphere, that is the public truth. Due to the crisis of European culture (pluralism, individualism, inflation of speech and expression, scientism) public truth cannot function as it used to, because it is not able to impose on society a single formula. This raises the impression that no truth is possible. The article argues that there is still a personal truth available, the development of which may be the goal of future culture. Patterns of this development are brought by the liberal Quakerism. It makes the public truth something formal – it believes above all in what Pink Dandelion called the “behavioral creed” - without forcing individuals to believe in any particular truth.

The article suggests that liberal Quakerism could become a religion of liberal pluralism (the latter term is conceived of as an alternative to exclusivism and inclusivism). The article discusses the opinion of Pink Dandelion that the contemporary liberal Quakerism is ruled by the total skepticism, showing that this skepticism is not a Quaker outlook but only a way of common life for people belonging to different, private worldviews. Skepticism is a self-restrain for those people who, having different private worldviews, want to worship together in silence. Quaker religious pluralism seems also to be a good alternative to essentially ineffective interfaith dialogue.

Kwakryzm powstał w połowie XVII wieku jako odpowiedź na zamęt religijny. Współczesny kwakryzm liberalny może być odpowiedzią na podobny zamęt, z tym jednak że obecnie rozszerzony na religie i światopoglądy pozachrześcijańskie. Platformą służącą znalezieniu jedności ponad wszelkimi sprzecznościami jest milczenie, które stanowi istotę kwakierskiego kultu i które jest punktem wyjścia dla doświadczenia mistycznego. Kwakryzm liberalny może być modelem duchowości jednoczącej rozmaite formy światopoglądowe, gdyż od wielu dekad taki model w swoim własnym funkcjonowaniu realizuje, gromadząc osoby o różnych, często sprzecznych światopoglądach. Zgromadzenie w jednej grupie wyznaniowej osób o różnych światopoglądach uniemożliwia również żywienia poczucia wyższości wobec osób inaczej wierzących, co zdaje się zwyczajną praktyką w tradycyjnych religiach. Akceptacja we własnym gronie dowolnych światopoglądów umożliwia odrzucenie dawnego podziału na sacrum i profanum, sacrum, w którym toczy się życie religijne sensu stricte i świat profanum, który nie w pełni należy do obszaru boskiego oddziaływania. Postulat kwakryzmu, aby koncentrować się na doświadczeniu, raczej niż na doktrynie, mógłby zamienić obecny, wątły dialog międzyreligijny na wspólne poszukiwanie prawdy.

Quakerism was established in the mid-seventeenth century as a response to the religious confusion in England of that time. Th e contemporary liberal Quakerism can be seen as an answer to a similar confusion, except that now it extends to non-Christian religions and worldviews. Silence can be a platform for fi nding unity beyond all the religious contradictions, silence that is the essence of Quaker worship. Th e liberal Quakerism can be a model of spirituality that unites various forms of worldviews, because for many decades, such a model has been implemented in it, as it gathered people with diff erent, oft en confl icting worldviews. Meeting people with diff erent worldviews prevents the feeding of superiority towards those who believe otherwise, which unfortunately seems to be the common practice in traditional religions. Th is lets discard the old division between the sacred and the profane, the sacred being the centre of the religious life in the strict sense and the profane not fully belonging to the area of divine infl uence. Th e postulate of Quakerism to focus on experience rather than on doctrine, could change the current, poor interreligious dialogue into the common search for truth.

Artykuł próbuje zinterpretować sprzeczności dotyczącego Boga i człowieka, zawarte w pismach Mistrza Eckharta, jako rezultat egzystencjalnego poszukiwania zbawczej mocy. Moc jako taka ma ambiwalentną naturę. Z jednej strony jest mocą tego, co jest, z drugiej mocą (samo)przezwyciężenia (tego, co jest). Myśl Eckharta jest myślą egzystencjalną, obejmującą całego człowieka, łącznie z jego elementem nieświadomym. To wyjaśnia, dlaczego, szukając zbawczej mocy, mistyk nie do końca był świadomy ambiwalentnej natury mocy. Artykuł przedstawia, jak Eckhart, kierując się pragnieniem zbawczej mocy, akceptuje, a następnie przezwycięża kolejne ujęcia Boga i człowieka. Ukazane są trzy główne, funkcjonujące w studiach nad Eckhartem interpretacje jego sprzeczności („apofatyczna”, „edukacyjna” i „metodologiczna”) oraz argumenty przeciw ich trafności.

EN

This article interprets Eckhart’s contradictions by presenting them as a result of an existential search for salvific power. It is shown that power is ambivalent in nature: it is the power of what is and the power of (self)overcoming (of what is). Just because power is in itself ambivalent and the process of searching for it existentialist (so not completely conscious), Eckhart’s mystical texts are full of contradictions and the German mystic is apparently not aware of it. The sample of them is shown in this article with regard to his ideas on God and man. Three other interpretations of Eckhart’s (“apophatic,” “educational,” “methodological”) are presented and argued against.

The article deals with problems of demographic growth and employment of labour resources in the highly-developed capitalist countries. These problems are closely linked with level of unemployment, which constitutes one of the most difficult contemporary socio-economic problem of capitalism. The analysis is focussed on phenomena and processes orienting development and utilization of labour resources (population growth, changes in size and structure of population in working age, professional activity rates, changes in labour resources, state, dynamics and structure of employment) examined here on the example of Great Britain. The analysis has been based on statistical data of the OECD Department of Economics and Statistics, the British Central Statistical Office, the Employment Gazette, and the International Labour Office. It encompasses the years 1971-1985, 1986, although in quite a few cases, especially when investigating problems of demographic development, the analysis reaches back into the sixties or into the future - 1990. The performed analysis of labour resources has revealed that their development proceeds invariably at a slew and quite stable rate, with stabilized shares of professionally active men. There can be observed continuation of long-term trend of growth in professional activity of women, and especially those married. The rate and structural characteristic of labour resources development in Greet Britain create favourable conditions for their utilization and do not contribute to unemployment growth in this country. The analysis of labour employment processes allows to state that absorption of labour does not undergo any major changes from the qualitative point of view despite changing economic conditions. It is certainly too small in relation to existing labour resources. There can be observed the widening of enployment gap, i.e . separating lines of trends in labour and employment grwoth. Structural changes in employment taking place in Great Britain (shifts of labour from industry to services and resulting changes in the structure of qualifications and occupations) correspond to general trends in structural transformations in the highly-developed capitalist countries. They lead to growing unemployment as they activate sectors with a smaller absorptiveness of labour.

Changes occurring in the Polish economy have a multidimensional character and the headway made in them varies. There have appeared variations in the discounting of benefits resulting from market orientation of the economy. A sphere, in which negative effects continue to predominate (despite various adopted measures) is, for instance, the labour market and, in particular, its demand side. An attempt was made in the article to sum up transformations in the aggregation of working people and its more precise goal was identification of working groups, which have benefited and those, which have lost as a result of systemic, social-political transformations. The analysis has revealed that negative tendencies with varying intensification have predominated in the aggregation of working people in the analysed period. Despite passage of time the Polish economy has not managed to make up for losses in this field even if the importance of the private sector is overestimated. During the first decade of the Polish economy’s transformation it proved impossible to solve by public means a conversion of unemployment generated by job losses in the public sector into a quantitatively and structurally appropriate growth of work force in the private sector. It gives gronds for questioning the scope, pace and directions of occurring changes. There should be also emphasised the lack of experience as regards behaviours in the labour market among the Polish society, which was best visible during the initial period of transformations.

The article analyzes problems of poverty in the American society classified among affluent societies. Poverty as a social and economic problem can be found everywhere in the world, but in the United States it has special repercussions. The author has made an attempt to answer two questions, which are of primary importance for the analyzed problem: 1) what arc the causes o f poverty? 2) which kind of policy is the most appropriate for elimination of poverty? A starting point or formulating answers to these questions is a definition of the state of poverty. In order to deľme and estimate the number of economically active persons there are needed criteria referring to characteristics o f economic activity o f individuals and their family situation. Both these issues have to be considered simultaneously wishing to grasp comprehensively the essence of the problem. The second important issue emerging in the course of defining unemployment is the concept of sufficient incomes and small earnings. The third problem is connected with the stan lards of poverty. It is a problem of technical nature and it is connected with measuring the size of households as a basis for estimation of incomes. Finally, the fourth problem connected with the identification of poverty are definitions of income and earnings. The main causes of poverty among population forming manpower resources are considered to be the following: 1) shortage of human capital; 2) insufficient demand for labour in the economy; 3) discrimination; and 4) structure of the labour market. The impact of human capital on employment prospects is explained by the theory of marginal productivity. The more human capital can be offered by an individual the bigger will be their marginal productivity in a given production process. Thus, individuals with a small human capital have a low marginal labour productivity and it is most likely that they will be obtaining a low pay or remain jobless. Possessing an appropriate human capital is not a guarantee of getting a satisfying job in itself. Qualifications and skills are attributes of labour supply. Meanwhile, the nature of market demand for labour is equally important. The third group of poverty causes includes derivatives o f discrimination. As a rule, persons belonging to minority and ethnic groups, women, and generations belonging to poor social strata do not have equal opportunities with others on the labour market. Among different hypotheses concerning causes of poverty in an affluent society a special role is played by theories voicing a decay of competition forces on the labour market accompanied by an emergence of mutually separated submarkets called segments. Among alternative policies aimed at counteracting poverty, the most efficient is considered the policy of increasing employment opportunities. In relation to persons encountering employment barriers all the lime, there should be sought solutions based on transfer benefits.

The aim of the article is to analyse the impact of the transition processes on labour markets in Central Europe Countries (Albania, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, FYR of Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia). The analysis covers period from 1995 to 1999 year and is based on EUROSTAT data. Main features of labour markets characteristics were: declining employment, growing unemployment specially structural and long term and strong shifts in sectoral employment patterns toward growing share of services in total employment. General causes of described above situation, with some exceptions were: the slowdown in economic growth as the result of external shocks (the impact of international financial crises, the Russian crises, the Kosovo conflict and lower growth in the EU). In some countries internal weaknesses such as the slow pace of institutional reforms, the delayed restructuring of enterprises, the increasing costs of loans and high degree of indebtedness of firms contributed to this trend. Final conclusions are mostly pessimistic, none of the examined countries have reached starting points of the positive tendency to stabilisation of domestic labour market.

The author has presented in this article some ways of reducing structural unemployment in the OECD countries. The article is based, among others, on the second report of the panel commission operating within the OECD entitled Neaeures to assist workers displaced by structural change. A general principle is an attempt to adjust actively and rapidly to the occurring structural changes. For this purpose there are applied various measures addressed primarily to displaced workers, which is accompanied by different instruments allowing to exert an influence on employers. The effectiveness of these measures tends to differ. Among the most effective ones prove to be: advanced notices about dismissals, Job search assistance, and rapid response capability. On the other hand, among rather ineffective measures arei temporary public service employment, early retirement, and re-location or mobility assistance to other spheres. The success of structural market adaptations, which was unanimously underlined by the states encompassed by the report, is dependent upon the state of economy, on whether it can offer an indispensable number of jobs, and possesses sufficient funds for such adaptations.

The article analyzes the most important phenomena and processes occurring in the Polish labour market during the first years of the systemic transformation in Poland. The analysis with the presentation of selected aspects of systemic transformation processes taking place in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. The authors present the main problems (effects) and achievements of the period, when economic transformation was initiated and implemented, and show the common and individual characteristics of the situation in particular in this region. Namely, all these countries witnessed: (1) much smaller cuts in employment than in production; (2) significant drop in economic activity rates; (3) growth of long-term unemployment; and (4) increasing number of population living in poverty. Most attention, which is naturally a result of the analyzed subject, was devoted to the headway made in systemic transformation processes in Poland and their implications for the domestic labour market. Moreover, there are discussed the determinants of transformations including: a deep economic crisis, new institutional and instrumental solutions, current economic policy, external determinants and, in particular, the collapse o f trade contacts with the post-socialist countries and economic consequences of political and social factors of the real socialism period. The programme of changes commonly known as the Balcerowicz Programme was oriented at systemic changes (deregularion, liberalization and privatization) and at stabilization of the economy (fight against inflation). Its implementation was based on the set of goals, among which the following sub-sets can be distinguished: (1) strategic goals; (2) operational goals, and (3) structural goals.
