This article attempts to demonstrate the relationships between a new political theology developing in the 20th century in Western Europe and the ethical-social thought of J. Tischner. The starting point of both concepts is the non-culpable suffering of man. The article presents countermeasures proposed by J. Tischner against non-culpable suffering, i.e. mercy, solidarity and Christian hope. Tischner’s philosophy is far from utopian dreams of the complete elimination of suffering, which is simply impossible here on earth. The philosopher from Krakow proposes, however, measures which allow one to endure difficult situations with dignity. Tischner himself extracts from the Gospel the values which Christianity continually offers to an ever more ruthless, indifferent and cold world.

Father Henryk Jackowski S.J. was the most important teacher and a spiritual guide of a future metropolitan Andrei Sheptyts’kyi while his intellectual and religious formation were being shaped (1880–1892). Jackowski underlined the importance of cooperation between the Latin and the Greek-catholic rites and perceived the Orthodox Church as a schismatic one. The submission to the Holy See was the most important to him. He didn’t seem to recognize the importance of the growing national conflict in Polish-Ukrainian/Ruthenian relations. Jackowski’s views became the part of Sheptyts’kyi’s teaching in the early years of his bishop and archbishop ministry. Nevertheless, the metropolitan saw the role of the Orthodox and the Ukrainians differently. After he had been chosen the archbishop of Lvov, his contacts with Ukrainian environment became closer and more frequent. He performed his duties and put into practice Jackowski’s program of organic work in the quickly changing political and social situation. There might have been some connection between Sheptyts’kyi’s declaration of Ruthenian identity (1885 r.) and accusations of polonization of the Greek-catholic rite that were formed against the Jesuits. Sheptyts’kyi’s contacts with the Jesuit Society slowly decreased. His Jesuit masters, that had introduced him into priesthood, were dying one by one.

Images of decay, both psychological and physical, permeate much of J.G. Ballard’s fiction, creating in effect a unique aesthetic that has acquired the eponymous description “ballardian.” This imagery, stemming from the surrealist tradition, is more than aesthetic affectation; it is, as this article argues, the manifestation of an eschatological theme underlying much of New Wave science fiction. This article also addresses how scientific discourse, especially references to entropy, and surrealist aesthetics intersect in his novels (High-Rise and The Drowned World) to provide a metaphor for Ballard’s frequent use of decay imagery. Though the surrealist component of his imagination has been well documented, what still invites closer scrutiny are the ideological assumptions linking Ballard’s incorporation of surrealism with the work of other surrealists and the way Ballard develops this theme for his own purposes.

We are certainly living in the age of growing isolation, atomization and dehumanization of various forms of human existence and activity. This generalization applies in equal measure to present academic life, and the process has been greatly accelerated by the disappearance of many traditionally rooted forms of university life, as well as detrimental effects of all-pervading Covid-19 epidemic, both on university teaching, but also on the process of popularization and exchange of scientific knowledge. In contrast to present point-hunting nature of academic life where success is measured by the number of vaguely-defined and subjectively granted points the figure of Professor Jacek Fisiak stands out as the symbol of multidirectional academic success in various socio-political systems in which he happened to be active, both in Poland and on the international academic scene.

Time and space constitute basic structural elements of the work of literature and define scope of its composition. In Joanne K. Rowling’s series they refer mainly to the fantasy genre which mostly demonstrates itself by duality of the presented world, in two types of time – cyclical and linear and in showing decisive moment for that world. Harry Potter story also follows the same patterns, so characteristic for Entwicklungsroman, school story or even RPG game. Time and space issue of the discussed work can be viewed in three aspects: narration, presented world and references. Characteristic feature presented here is enlivening of the space-time relations through usage of elliptical structures, frequent changes of perspective and sometimes also through simultaneity of the story. Time and space components in the presented world are subjects to multiple metamorphoses which refer to magic as specific, immanent dimension of reality; whereas vicissitude recalls classical space-time themes like road and labyrinth. Consonance with reality manifests itself both in the realistic „Anglo-Saxon” pattern of the „Potterverse” and in direct references – to Nicolas Flamel, alchemist from Pontoise for example. Time and space management constitutes one of the major elements of literary expression in this novel cycle, extremely popular around the world.

The article brings up a complicated problem of the measurement of national power. Many researchers have made numerous attempts to describe the issue in the theoretical view. Theoretical models which were drawn up can give reports of state powers which are not always too competitive. In practice, the task of setting the real measurement and comparing national powers is very complicated. In this area the most appropriate are models of F.C.German and J.S.Cline. Factors affecting the establishing of position of the state are various. For example the role of having the nuclear arsenal is still significant, but not as important as it was in the 1960s and 1970s. Of course the basic elements like geographical situation, relations with bordering states, military, economic, demographic component still exist. At present earlier determinants in form of: energetic resources, radioactive elements, petroleum, natural gas, demographic factors, even cultural attractiveness are gaining importance in positioning power. Position of power is not given forever and can change even as a result of random events.

The study is devoted to the problems connected with the “gipsy theme” in Polish literature and culture at the turn of 19th and 20th c. and in the interwar period. It presents the results of research in the presence of Russian gipsy romance in Polish popular culture as well as shows its reception in Polish literary and musical criticism. The author also ponders over the phenomenon of connection between gipsy singing and Russian culture, over the Russian-gipsy emotionality fascination recorded in the romance and, in consequence, over Polish Russophobia. The present study deals also with the role and function of the gipsy themes present in Polish interwar poetry (K. Wierzynski, K. I. Galczynski, J. Tuwim, J. Czechowicz, and others). It analyses the literary pictures of a Gipsy, Romany women, the motifs of gipsy singing, references to gipsy nomadism, and gipsy magic.

My paper presents a detailed analysis and assessment of Richard Dawkins’ epistemological theses from The God Delusion concerning the nature of religious belief, the existence of God and treating belief in God as a scientific hypothesis. In the first part of the article, I am interpreting Dawkins’ statement that atheism deserves respect as an epistemic achievement. I suggest that rationality of that assessment depends on Dawkins’ success in arguing that science shows that God does not exist. My second aim is to show that the real object of Dawkins’ attack is not some abstract theistic hypothesis, as he suggests, but the Western ethical monotheism, mainly the Christian faith in God. If I am right, then his rejection of thus interpreted theism is not enough to justify his more general thesis that God hypothesis is false or improbable. The first part of the paper prepares the ground for the second, with criticism of Dawkins’ reasoning to the conclusion that almost certainly there is no God.

The author attempts to confirm the shocking thesis introduced at the outset, that the philosophical struggle with the problem of evil and precisely with evil itself proves to be more heroic than fighting off the greatest real-life misfortunes. The considerations are based on several metaphilosophical assumptions. Nonetheless, the most significant inspiration for the assumptions is outlined by J. Nabert’s meta-ethical experience of the “unjustifiable”. One of the key theses of the article can be formulated as follows: acts of evil consist in unreasoned rebellions against the act of good. Metaphorically speaking, acts of evil are in fact a desperate cry for the absolute affirmation of a duty and for the absolute act of good.The final conclusions suggest the philosophical roots of this attitude and call for their future, metaphilosophical study.

Positivism Buried Alive? In Defence of Inclusive Legal Positivism

The efforts taken by the "soft" (inclusive) positivists (H.L.A. Hart's followers, ie. J. Coleman, W. Waluchow, M. Kramer, K. E. Himma) to defend the legal positivist position (the separability thesis, the social sources thesis) are combined with theoretical references to the moral arguments which are present in judicial practice. Therefore, the inclusive positivists treat the relationship between law and morality as a contingent relationship and try to justify it on the basis of the system’s overriding rule of recognition. This position, as an attempt to find the "golden mean" in theory of law, is criticized both by non-positivists and "hard" positivists. For instance, R. Dworkin or L. Morawski claim that, despite its declarations, soft positivism actually does not respond to the requirements of modern legal practice and is a "degenerated" and stagnant research program. On the other hand, J. Raz contends that due to the incorporation of morality, soft positivism is no longer a real positivism. The article presents a defense of soft positivism, especially against its non-positivistic critics, as well as a version of soft positivism, which can be called a "constructive" one (V. Villa). It also shows that soft positivism, as being consistent with the "spirit" of positivism and complying with the requirements of the present judicial practice, may be justified by reference to postmodern thinking.

Współczesne postaci ontologii. Od Hegla do Quine’a

The article presents some prominent figures of modern ontology from Hegel to nowadays. It takes into account the diverse forms of ontology in three distinct trends of philosophy: Hegelianism, phenomenology and analytical philosophy. Each of these trends has its own subject, aim and method of ontology. The subject of Hegel’s ontology is understood as something originally undefined, being on the border of nonentity. When presented this way, the subject presupposes a dialectic method of ontology, which the German philosopher defines as “the consciousness of the form of the inner self-movement of the content of logic.” It is based on reflection, which, according to Hegel, is both a tool and medium to knowledge, though in his Phenomenology of spirit he identifies it as being by itself. Thus understood ontology is to be found both in the works of Hegel’s students and his critics (S. Kierkegaard, M. Heidegger, J.-P. Sartre). In Husserl’s phenomenology it is not reflection but eidetic intuition (Wesensschau) that is the main method of ontology, and its subject is not just being, but the essence – a correlate to the eidetic intuition. To Husserl’s phenomenological presumptions referred, among others, N. Hartman and R. Ingarden, who understood ontology as eidetic analysis of ideas. Though Heidegger saw the problem differently: the goal of ontology is defining the meaning of Being (Sinn vom Sein), its method is phenomenological. In none of the approaches was the subject of ontology understood in a classic way as Being, but rather as a certain form of its representation, as the content of consciousness (ideas), or as a certain sense for a definite subject. A different approach to ontology is observable within analytic philosophy, which involved lots of different personalities and different traditions, such as the new positivism, scholastics (J.M. Bocheński, E. Nieznański), Leibnizian rationalism (A. Plantinga), empiricism and pragmatism (W.O. Quine, P. Strawson). Remarkable achievements in ontology belong to some Polish logicians, representatives of the Polish school of analytic philosophy, such as S. Leśniewski and T. Kotarbiński. Leśniewski was the founder of formal ontology – logical calculus of names, while Kotarbiński discovered nominalistic and materialistic ontology – reism (from Latin: res ‘thing’) based on Leśniewski’s ontology. The main thesis of reism was the claim that “every object is a body.”

There are three chief aims of the paper. First, it presents in short the beginning of the analytic philosophy of religion, its development, issues, and methods. Second, it puts forward a hypothesis that in the last five decades analytic philosophy of religion has been dominated by the epistemological paradigm, i.e. in most cases, any problem in question has been studied as part of the general problem of rationality of religious belief. That situation is changing slowly towards achieving more balance between the issues of epistemology of religion and those concerned with philosophical theology. Third, the paper provides criteria for the classification of the different ways to understand the rationality of religious belief: the rationalistic and evidentialist approach, the natural theology approach, the Wittgensteinian fideism and Reformed epistemology approaches. A brief description of each of those four positions in epistemology of religion is included.
