Truth occupies an important place in human life, and man himself is called to discover its fullness. Questions about the truth and its nature already appeared in antiquity and were on minds of the most eminent philosophers and later they wandered with the whole consequence through the ages towards modernity. The question of truth is also present in the teaching of the Catholic Church. The current debate in reference to the concept of truth in its objective meaning can be formulated differently. In a diverse and multifaceted structure, a person needs to encounter his identity and pass through conceptual degradation in order to find clear signs which will show him the right direction of acting and make him able to accept reality in its deepest dimension. In this sense, truth appears as a condition sine qua non for the people who want to live their lives according to the requirements of the Gospel. The following article attempts to approximate the reality of truth in its moral perspective based on the life and works of an outstanding theologian, John Henry Newman. He is a character who should be seen as one of the greatest thinkers of the 19th century, an exceptional writer and a great scholar. The life of this great man was filled with the love of truth, which many researchers understand in the category of passion, emphasizing a special kind of disposition directed towards the truth. Whoever reaches for his academic works and looks at his intellectual output recognizes him as an ardent disciple of truth who loved truth above all else. The fascinating history of the faith and courage of the English convert has become a determinant of all decisions he makes, and he himself is still an inspiration for everybody who wants to form their lives based on the foundation of the Truth.

Prawda zajmuje w życiu człowieka istotne miejsce, a sam człowiek wezwany jest ku temu, aby odkryć jej pełnie. Pytania dotyczące prawdy i jej natury pojawiały się już w starożytności i nurtowały umysły najwybitniejszych filozofów, a później z całą konsekwencją wędrowały poprzez przestrzenie wieków aż ku nowożytności. Kwestia prawdy obecna jest w żywy sposób także w nauczaniu Kościoła. Obecny zakres debaty dotyczący pojęcia prawdy w jej znaczeniu obiektywnym może być różnie formułowany. W zróżnicowanej oraz wieloaspektowej strukturze człowiek, aby odnaleźć swoją tożsamość i przebić się przez degradację pojęciową, potrzebuje jasnych znaków, które ukażą mu właściwy kierunek postępowania i odczytywania rzeczywistości w jej najgłębszym wymiarze. W tym znaczeniu prawda jawi się jako warunek sine qua non w odniesieniu do ludzi, pragnących prowadzić swoje życie zgodnie z wymaganiami zapisanymi na kartach Ewangelii. Poniższy artykuł podejmuję próbę przybliżenia rzeczywistości prawdy w jej ujęciu moralnym w oparciu o życie i twórczość wybitnego teologa, jakim był John Henry Newman. To postać, którą należy rozpatrywać jako jednego z najwybitniejszych myślicieli XIX wieku, wyjątkowego pisarza oraz wielkiego intelektualisty. Życie tego znamienitego człowiek przepełnione było umiłowaniem prawdy, co wielu badaczy zamyka w kategorii pasji, podkreślając szczególnego rodzaju dyspozycję ukierunkowaną ku prawdzie. Temu, kto sięga po jego dzieła oraz spogląda na jego twórczość daje się poznać jako gorliwy uczeń prawdy, który kochał ją ponad wszystko inne. Fascynująca historia wiary i odwagi angielskiego konwertyty, stała się wyznacznikiem wszelkich podejmowanych przez niego decyzji, a on sam do dziś stanowi inspirację dla wszystkich, którzy pragną kształtować swoje życie w oparciu o fundament, jakim jest Prawda.

The functioning of today’s universities has been influenced by centuries of changing educational concepts. The aim of the article is to describe and examine one of them – the concept of university education by John Henry Newman, which was created in the second half of the 19th century. Newman described his educational ideal, which he wanted to put into practice while being rector of the Catholic University of Ireland in Dublin. He stated that the function of the university must be broad, it should include both practical studying and learning universal knowledge as well as the comprehensive development of students. Newman built this concept on the basis of personal beliefs, his Christian faith and ties with the Catholic and Anglican churches and experiences from studying at the University of Oxford. The article analyses the works of Newman and explores the foundations of his educational concept.

Almost two centuries ago, in his book The Idea of a University, Cardinal John Henry Newman (1801–1890) formulated his vision of university education, given in the light of faith and catholic ethics. This paper attempts to frame Newman’s view of a university using the theory of conceptual metaphor as initially proposed by Lakoff and Johnson in their book Metaphors We Live By (cf. also Lakoff & Johnson 1999; Lakoff 1987, 1993; and Kövecses 2015; among others). In particular, the paper seeks to establish the main networks of implicational metaphors which, we believe, structure Newman’s idea of a university. Principally, there are three main networks of conceptual metaphors underlying our understanding of Newman’s vision of a university: life is a building; life is a living organism; and life is a journey. The paper deals only with the first network in greater detail. In the main metaphor life is a building, other metaphors referring to university are evoked, for example university is a place, field, shelter, an integrated system, a nation and a combination of colours; knowledge is a plant, a reward, good, freedom, power, treasure, art and beauty.

Niemal dwa wieki temu w swojej książce The Idea of University Kardynał John Henry Newman (1801–1890) wykreował wizję edukacji uniwersyteckiej, którą ujął w świetle wiary i etyki katolickiej. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest zaprezentowanie poglądów Newmana na temat uniwersytetu za pomocą teorii metafory pojęciowej, zaproponowanej początkowo przez Lakoffa i Johnsona w książce Metaphors We Live By (1980 [2003], por. także Lakoff i Johnson 1999; Lakoff 1987, 1993; Kövecses 2015, m. in.). Artykuł stara się wyłonić główne sieci (ang. networks) metafor implikacyjnych, które — jak wierzymy — obrazują ideę uniwersytetu według Newmana. W artykule skonstruowano trzy główne sieci metafor pojęciowych, które leżą u podstaw zrozumienia wizji uniwersytetu według Newmana: życie jest budowlą; życie jest żywym organizmem; życie jest podróżą. Artykuł skupia się na analizie tylko pierwszej sieci (network). W omawianej metaforze życie jest budowlą, uniwersytet jest postrzegany przez Newmana jako miejsce, pole, schronisko lub jako system zintegrowany, np. naród lub kombinacja kolorów. Wiedza jest zobrazowana językiem Newmana jako m.in. roślina, nagroda, dobro, wolność, moc, skarb, sztuka i piękno.

Newman’s way to conversion was made possible by his overcoming of his youthful convictions adopted from Protestant theologians (Luther, Cranmer, Bale, Fox, Sandys, Warburton, Isaac, and Thomas Newton), that the office of the pope was related to the case of the Antichrist. Their accusation is summed up in the statement that the pope, by enacting and enforcing ecclesiastical laws, has obscured the true primary meaning of God’s commandments and has thus established himself in the place of God, making himself the master of Catholic consciences. Newman’s idea of the Antichrist evolved from associating him with the place and the office of the pope to recognizing only his hallmarks as significant: open infidelity, ungodlieness, arrogance, worldly spirit, and false liberalism. At the same time, he took a futuristic position, not excluding the view that the “secret of godlessness” is already at work, and the Antichrist has his precursors, types, images and shadows. He overcame the mental flaw that identified the pope with the Antichrist through in-depth studies of the history of the Church, a change withwhich was signaled in A Letter to the Rev. Godfrey Faussett (1838), matured in an apology of the papacy in The Protestant Idea of Antichrist (1840) and led to the recognition of the pope as the true Vicar of Christ and Sacramentum Unitatis and the revocation of anti-Roman views in 1843, and again in 1845. Newman understood that the primacy of the pope is part of an evolving Catholic doctrine, and the pope has become the goal of prosecution because of his close resemblance to Christ, whom Satan is trying to imitate.

The paper shows how different polemists used the analogy with the fourth century Donatist schism to label their opponents in the Reformation controversies. The accusation of Donatism was raised not only by the Catholics against the Protestants in general, as opposing the authority of Rome, but also both by the Catholics and magisterial Reformers against the radical Reformers, who rejected any connection between the Church and the state, and demanded of their converts to be baptised again. The analogy was also used in the polemics between more and less radical branches of the English Reformation. It was also employed in a very efficient way by Cardinal Wiseman in 1839 against the Anglicans, and was one of the main impulses for the conversion of John Henry Newman to Roman Catholicism.

The present paper aims at analyzing the conceptualization of christian life through the conceptual etaphor christian life is family life in John Henry Newman’s Parochial and Plain Sermons. After the presentation of the theory of conceptual metaphor in the light of cognitive semantics, the members of the metaphorical family of the Christian life are introduced. Next, the article analyzes the metaphorical way of a Christian’s growing up, whose goal is a spiritual marriage with Christ.

The article seeks to answer whether John Henry Newman (1801-1890), outstanding theologian of nineteenth-century England and  a Catholic convert, was particularly worshipful of Holy Virgin Mary. He would express his piety towards the Blessed Virgin, revered as the Mother of God, through his writings. The author thus analyzes the publications from the Anglican and the Catholic periods in Newman’s life, in which the latter referred to the Mother of the Word Incarnate. In his sermons, essays, speeches, lectures and letters, the eminent representative of the English Church conveys his attitude to the Mother of God.

Although Amazing Grace has become a popular song associated with the Englishspeaking culture, the notion of GRACE itself remains mysterious and vague. The problem is that being an abstract notion, grace is difficult to understand and describe even for theologians. This problem may be overcome by conceptual metaphors which help us conceptualize and understand the abstract reality [Lakoff, Johnson 2003/1980/; Kövecses 2010/2002/]. John Henry Newman’s Parochial and Plain Sermons [1834- -1843] constitutes a set of eight volumes of sermons preached in the years 1828-1845 in St. Mary’s Church in Oxford by an outstanding Anglican philosopher, theologian, writer, and academic of the Victorian era, who later converted to Roman Catholicism. The article focuses on the cognitive-linguistic aspects of identification and classification of the various conceptual metaphors for GRACE in Newman’s sermons. The metaphors are illustrated with examples of the lexical correlates found in the analyzed material. In his sermons, Newman conceptualizes grace metaphorically either as different kinds of INANIMATE THINGS: A CONTAINER, AN INSTRUMENT or MEANS, A GARMENT, A TREASURE and A GIFT, as A TRADED COMMODITY, A LIQUID, FOOD AND DRINK, and A BUILDING, as A PLANT, or as A PERSON: A KING, AN INHABITANT of a human being or the Church, as AN OPPONENT or ENEMY, as A GUIDE IN A JOURNEY, and as A PARENT. Additionally, GRACE is metaphorically viewed in the studied work as POWER, as A WAY IN A JOURNEY, and as LIGHT.

The article presents the concept of the university developed in the mid-nineteenth century by Cardinal John Henry Newman. Newman believed that the university should provide pure and universal knowledge. He was against the professionalization of academic education. According to Newman, the task of universities was to “introduce to life in society” and to “adapt to the world.” This idea grew out of European optimism and a deep belief that teachers and students were part of the same intellectual community. Newman’s concept retains its value because it is rooted in the legacy of humanistic ideal of the education present in the university from very beginnings of this institution. As we know from history university was a place for gaining universal knowledge. However, disturbing cracks can be seen in this idea, which is related to the commercialization and parameterization of the education process. Both lead to deep pathologies of academic life. We see these changes not only in Poland, but also in Western Europe and the United States. After the change of the political system in 1989, Polish universities were significantly degraded and the status of an academic teacher decreased dramatically. The only remedy is to restore universities to the autonomy they deserve and to move away from attempts to politicize or ideologize them.

Looking at the panorama of the modern world, one can come to the conclusion that the man of the twenty-first century carries deep in his interior a serious identity crisis. Among the many reasons for this state of affairs, undoubtedly one of them is that man has forgotten about the role of conscience as a factor that regulates and points to the reality of Truth, to which man should form his life. Recalling a reflection discussed among the Council Fathers gathered during Vaticanum II, it appears to be a valuable contribution to the contemporary debate over the identity of man, especially when it comes to the role of conscience and the duty of fidelity to its dictates. A significant contribution to the development of this conciliar concept of conscience is provided by a man, who specializes in literature, referred to as the Father of the Second Vatican Council, namely John Henry Newman. Newman, the invisibile peritus of the Second Vatican Council, which is also called Newman’s Council, is said by some commentators to have been raised to the dignity of Doctor of conscience. Unfortunately, the ideas contained in the teachings of the Cardinal, which found its fulfillment in the conciliar document Gaudium et spes, still have a problem breaking into the consciousness of the twenty-first century man. This study tackles the question of the duty of fidelity to conscience in view of the teaching of John Henry Newman and Gaudium et spes. Its aim is to show a significant and identical line, which can be seen between the thoughts of the Cardinal and the teachings of the Council with regard to the discussed issues. In the age of the identity crisis of modern man, recalling the fundamental teaching of conscience seems to be a valuable voice in contemporary moral debate and an important indication for today's man.

Spoglądając na panoramę współczesnego świata, można dojść do przekonania, że człowiek XXI wieku głęboko w swoim wnętrzu nosi poważny kryzys tożsamości. Wśród wielu przyczyn takiego stanu rzeczy, niewątpliwie jedną z nich jest to, że zapomniano o roli sumienia jako czynniku, który reguluje i wskazuje na rzeczywistość Prawdy, wobec której człowiek powinien kształtować swoje życie. Przywołanie refleksji nad którą pochylili się Ojcowie Soborowi zebrani na Vaticanum II wydaje się być cenny wkładem we współczesną debatę nad tożsamością człowieka, szczególnie jeśli chodzi o rolę sumienia i obowiązek wierności jego nakazom. Istotny wkład w kształtowanie soborowej koncepcji sumienia ma również ten, który w literaturze fachowej, nazywany jest Ojcem Soboru Watykańskiego II, a mianowicie John Henry Newman, invisibile peritus Soboru Watykańskiego II – określanego także mianem Soboru Newmana – wynoszony jest przez niektórych komentatorów do godności doktora sumienia. Niestety idee, zawarte w nauce kardynała i znajdujące swój dopełnienie w dokumencie soborowym Gaudium et spes, ciągle mają problem, by przebić się do świadomości człowieka XXI wieku.Niniejsze studium podejmuje kwestię obowiązku wierności sumieniu w perspektywie nauczania John’a Henry’ego Newman’a oraz Konstytucji Gaudium et spes. Jego celem jest ukazanie istotnej i tożsamej linii, jaką można zauważyć między myślą kardynała, a nauczaniem Soboru w odniesieniu do poruszanej kwestii. W dobie kryzysu tożsamości współczesnego człowieka przypomnienie fundamentalnej nauki o sumieniu, wydaje się być wartościowym głosem we współczesnej debacie moralnej i istotnym wskazaniem dla dzisiejszego człowieka.

In this paper it will be explained that there is some ambiguity over how much Newman’s arguments for liberal education are actually grounded in more general theological arguments about the distinctive nature of Catholic education. In what follows it will be argued that Newman's work is helpful in drowning attention to one of the central problems within the theory of Catholic education, namely what ought to be the relationship between educational and (Catholic) theology.
PL
W niniejszym artykule zostaną wyjaśnione kwestie związane z pewną ambiwalencją dotyczącą sposobu argumentacji przez Newmana potrzeby „wolnej” edukacji (liberal education), a także w jaki sposób różnicuje się ona na gruncie teologicznym w stosunku do całości edukacji katolickiej. Przedstawione zagadnienia są argumentem za tym, że rozprawy Newmana stanowią bardzo pomocne źródło dla opisu jednego z centralnych problemów wewnątrz teorii wychowania katolickiego, a mianowicie należytej relacji pomiędzy teorią edukacji a samą teologią (katolicką).

The claim of this paper is that theism and atheism as beliefs about the nature of the universe are equally distant from any sort of proper justification by reasoning, but that faith cannot be reduced to any sort of belief (although it induces beliefs). This claim is illustrated by a survey of several case-studies, including the case of moral sense (Marc Hauser), the so-called “God gene” (Dean Hammer) and discoveries of Benjamin Libet on “free” movement. The illustrations attempt to show that only some imagerial associations connected with these cases, and respectively with religious beliefs, would make an impression of incoherence, not their actual content. The conclusion of the paper would echo the statements of Cardinal John Henry Newman, who said in his Oxford University Sermons: “Faith is an instrument of knowledge and action, unknown to the world before, a principle sui generis, distinct from those which nature supplies, and independent of what is commonly understood by Reason”. Some implications of this conclusion, such as the notion of the rationality of faith, an account of the relation between science and theology, or the problem of agnosticism, are discussed, too.

Artykuł przedstawia najważniejsze doświadczenia osobistego nawrócenia Johna Henry’ego Newmana, które doprowadziły go do większego zaufania Opatrzności. Jak sam pisze, doświadczenia te stały się swoistą manifestacją Bożej prawdy w jego życiu. Pierwsze doświadczenie miało miejsce, gdy w wieku piętnastu lat uświadomił sobie, że Bóg jest stale przy nim. Drugi moment nawrócenia nastąpił, gdy doświadczył słabości i śmierci swojej siostry, co zmusiło go do odejścia od intelektualnego perfekcjonizmu wyznawanej wiary ewangelicznej. Trzeci ważny moment pojawia się po odrzuceniu ruchu oksfordzkiego, kiedy Newman dochodzi do wniosku, że to nie Kościół anglikański, lecz Kościół katolicki posiada całość chrześcijańskiej prawdy i tradycji. Wreszcie czwarte doświadczenie przychodzi w okresie katolickim Newmana, kiedy po konfrontacji z definicją nieomylności papieskiej odkrywa, że stoi w pewnej sprzeczności z autorytetem Kościoła. Wymienione doświadczenia pozwoliły zdefiniować pojęcie zaufania w nauczaniu i życiu Newmana. Podążamy za tym autorem na trasie jego refleksji, aby podkreślić, że chociaż w Kościele katolickim zaufanie jest związane z wiarą i postawą pasterzy, to jednak nigdy nie jest ono ani sprzeczne z rozumem, ani mu podporządkowane.

This work summarizes the moments in which John Henry Newman experienced a personal conversion, which led him to a greater trust in Providence. As he writes, these moments became a kind of manifestation of God’s truth in his life. The first moment occurred when, at the age of fifteen, he came to know that God was constantly with him. He grew aware of a second conversion, when he experiences the weakness and death of his sister, which compelled him to move away from the intellectual perfectionism of the evangelical faith he professed. The third moment came after the rejection of the Oxford Movement, when Newman arrived at the conclusion that it was not the Anglican Church, but the Catholic Church, that possessed all of Christian truth and tradition. Finally, the fourth moment of conversion emerged in Newman’s Catholic period, when he was confronted with the definition of papal infallibility and showed himself to be in some contradiction with the authority of the Church. These moments allowed us to define the concept of trust in Newman’s teachings and life. We follow this author in his itinerary of reflection to underline that, although in the Catholic Church trust is related to faith and is observed in pastors, this trust is never contrary nor subjected to reason.

In 1962, during the first session of Vatican II, it was decided by a small number of votes that the teaching regarding the Mother of the Lord should be placed in the constitution onthe Church. Basil Christopher Butler (1902-1986), a Benedictine abbot from England, was one of those who prepared the draft for the Mariological document. He received support from the English episcopate. Christopher Butler showed, through biblical and above all patristic sources, that the Mother of Christ ought to be seen in the perspective of salvation history. His patristic concept depended upon the ancient figure of the new Eve, who stands as the model of the Church. He pointed to many writings of the Church Fathers. They were used in the eighth chapter of Lumen Gentium. Meanwhile, in the first council drafts on Mary, there were few patristic references. Worthy of attention is that Christopher Butler used the writings of J.H. Newman. Like him, he left Anglicanism for Catholicism. The patristic tradition of Anglicanism from the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries gave sufficient theological arguments that the Mother of God ought not be isolated from the teaching on the Church.

Podczas pierwszej sesji Soboru Watykańskiego II w 1962 roku rozstrzygnięto niewielką liczbą głosów, że nauka o Matce Pana zostanie zamieszczona w konstytucji o Kościele. Basil Christopher Butler (1902 – 1986), opat benedyktyński Anglii był jednym z tych, którzy przygotowali projekt dokumentu mariologicznego. Otrzymał on poparcie episkopatu angielskiego. Ch. Butler wykazał w oparciu o dane biblijne i nade wszystko patrystyczne, że Matkę Chrystusa należy ukazywać w perspektywie historii zbawienia. Jego koncept patrystyczny został oparty na starożytnej figurze nowej Ewy, która stanowi pierwowzór Kościoła. Wskazał wiele pism ojców Kościoła. Zostały one wykorzystane w ósmy rozdziale Lumen gentium. Tymczasem we wstępnych projektach mariologii soborowej były nieliczne odniesienia patrystyczne. Należy zauważyć, że Ch. Butler skorzystał z pism J. H. Newmana. Podobnie jak on przeszedł z anglikanizmu na katolicyzm. Tradycja patrystyczna anglikanizmu XIX i początku XX wieku podawała wystarczająco dużo argumentów teologicznych, aby Bogurodzicy nie izolować z wykładu o Kościele.

Kościół i ekumenizm w myśli Johna Henry’ego Newmana W artykule analizowana jest ewolucja myśli Newmana na temat Kościoła na różnych etapach jego długiego życia. Autor skupia się m.in. na naturze samego Kościoła, wprowadzeniu, które Newman napisał do swojego dzieła Via Media (1877), charyzmatycznym wymiarze eklezji, roli, jaką odegrali poszczególni papieże, biskupi i świeccy, a w szczególności na roli tych ostatnich w życiu całego Ludu Bożego. Przeanalizowano także kwestię, czy w pisarstwie tego wpływowego Anglika i przywódcy intelektualnego z XIX wieku odnajdziemy wątki ekumeniczne. W konkluzji autor przedstawia swoje refleksje dotyczące długiej i krętej drogi, jaką podążał Newman, formułując podstawowe założenia swojej eklezjologii.

This article explores the development of Newman’s thought on the Church, throughout different phases of his long life. The article focuses, among other themes, on the nature of the Church, the important introduction to his Via Media (1877), the charismatic dimension of the ekklesia, and the respective roles of the pope, the bishops and the laity, in particular what the latter can contribute to the whole People of God. The article also seeks to delve into the question whether one can talk about ecumenism in the writings of the influential nineteenth-century English man of letters and opinion leader. The conclusion offers some final considerations on what Newman underwent during his long and meandering journey with regard to some basic tenets of his ecclesiology.

This article seeks to demonstrate the influence of Saint Augustine’s thought on the work of John Henry Newman, especially on the doctrine aimed at clarifying the relations between the act of faith and the other operations of the intellect. To this end, the concepts of auctoritas and ratio are presented as they appear in De vera religione. Subsequently, certain passages in Newman’s work are discussed in which the ascendancy of this doctrine is clear, particularly as regards the subject of doubt and that of the conscience. Finally, a comparison is established between the overall thought of both authors.
