This article is an attempt to both artistic and aesthetic analysis of Salvador Dalí’s Christ of St. John of the Cross as an image representing the main demands of the postmodern aesthetics. The applied research perspective allows to go beyond the traditional relation between postmodernism and the Great Avant-garde. This relation is based on indicating of what postmodernism took over from the earlier trends of avant-garde and surrealism in particular. The proposed reverse perspective refers to another, enriching relationship. It points directly at the early surrealistic discoveries which were used in a field of twentieth century art long before the rise of the postmodern aesthetics.

It is not seldom that some authors try to compare the doctrine of Zen Buddhism with the doctrine of Saint John of the Cross with the intention of finding some parallels. The most striking similarity seems to be the term “emptiness” (nada – John of the Cross and sunyata – Zen Buddhism). The difficulty of the comparison stems from the fact that in both cases this term has an experiential meaning, i.e. it describes subjective feelings one has while following the spiritual path. Therefore, the intent of the paper is to capture the metaphysical and epistemological meaning of this term in order to facilitate the comparison. This effort has led to the conclusion that in both doctrines the essentially different meaning of emptiness reflects their different understanding of the ultimate reality. Consequently, meditational techniques which both forms of spirituality adopted to achieve the ultimate reality exclude each other, and the semantic proximity of Zen Buddhism and John of the Cross is misleading.

The article considers the grounds for man’s fulfillment through his union with God. It analyzes the problem through the writings of St. John of the Cross. The analysis is focused on: (1) the need for accommodation of bodily elements to the soul in man, (2) the ways of knowing God as the highest degree of qualities present imperfectly in man, and experiencing God as the One who supports man’s life, grants him His graces, and loves him, (3) the adaptational relationship between man and God. The author concludes that man’s union with God transforms him into God through his personal (i.e., conscious and voluntary) participation.

This article shows how that spaces function in art of Krasniewski

Artykuł prezentuje twórczość plastyczną Bogdana Kraśniewskiego (artysty z Torunia) i jej związki z opisywanym szczegółowo przez Victora Turnera pojęciem fazy liminalnej, koncepcją „nocy ciemnej” św. Jana od Krzyża oraz teorii dezintegracji pozytywnej, stworzonej przez Kazimierza Dąbrowskiego. Takie zestawienie pokazuje, że przestrzeń w twórczości Kraśniewskiego można rozumieć nie tylko w znaczeniu fizycznym, lecz również jako przestrzeń wewnętrznego wzrostu i duchowego rozwoju. Rozwój ten podzielony jest na dwie części: spatiuminitiati, gdzie człowiek dokonuje wyboru między życiem skupionym na sferze cielesnej albo na duchowej, oraz spatiumtransitionis, gdzie ma miejsce ciągły progres. Artykuł pokazuje, jak te dwie przestrzenie funkcjonują w twórczości Kraśniewskiego.

Benedict XVI showed the mistery of divinization in the Christological perspective. It takes place similarly to the way two natures are united in one Person of the Son of God (the Council of Chalcedon). The way two wills (human and divine) are united in one in Christ is a condition and model of communion of God’s will and a man’s one (the Third Council of Constantinople). The article deals with the coherence between dogmatic statements and saints as well as mistics’ experience (John of the Cross, Faustyna Kowalska, Maksymilian Kolbe). Synthesis of dogmatics and mysticism allows to better understand what theosis is and how it takes place.
