Who is He, to Whom we address words God, Theos, Deus, etc.? How far goes possibility for adaptation of religious and philosophical language from other (non-Western) cultures? Do  people, by  using certain words and terms, denote being of God, or are they just conventional names? Those questions were raised quite early in theological debates in early stages of Christianity, and answers were given by such prominent Church Fathers as Gregory of Nyssa and Basil the Great. The problem resurfaced millennium later, when Western missionaries encountered nations and people whose religious and philosophical concepts were far different from their own. Should they accommodate local terms to fit the Christian concept of God, or should they introduce Western terminology? This translational and linguistic problem leads to the question: are there universal concepts which (despite of cultural affiliation, based on the common human experience) could communicate the Christian idea of God? Findings of Wierzbicka, and her own claim is: yes – there are semantic primes, through which we  can translate our ideas (with minor imperfections). But this last question goes beyond the reach of mere secular linguistics, and enters the domain of theology. For it is theological claim that in our human nature we are capable of addressing Triune God.

Artykuł niniejszy jest próbą odpowiedzi na pytanie o to, czy myśl patrystyczna porusza zagadnienie ludzkiej twórczości. Punkt wyjścia stanowi twierdzenie, że chrześcijańska refleksja (na przykładach myśli Augustyna, Kapadocczyków i Maksyma Wyznawcy) – nawet jeśli pozostaje konserwatywna i kontynuuje antyczne ujęcie sztuki jako sfery jedynie wytwórczej i mimetycznej – daje mimo to możliwość pośredniego, teologicznego przemyślenia problematyki człowieczej aktywności. Szczególnym wątkiem rozważań czynię dwuznaczność patrystycznego rozumienia terminu „nowości” (καινοτομία), który oznaczać może zarówno „heretyckie nowinkarstwo”, jak i cud Bożej stwórczości i wcielenia oraz ludzkiego twórczego chrześcijańskiego i chrystocentrycznego naśladownictwa.

The paper deals with the question whether the patristic thought has to say about human creativeness. The point is that the Christian reflection (exemplified by Augustine, the Cappadocians, and Maximus the Confessor) – even though it is very conservative and continues an ancient notion of art as the field of craft and plain mimetism – provides nonetheless the indirect, theological possibility to rethink the man’s activity. The special emphasis is put on the ambigiuity in the patristic term of ‘newness’ (καινοτομία) which designates a ‘heretic novelty’, as well as a miracle both of the God’s creation and incarnation, and human creative Christian and Christocentric mimetism.
