In the present paper, the author aims at laying the foundations of a symbolics of technical gesture, according to the thesis that symbolic faculty is another face of the technological one, and that they are both in truth two sides of the same coin. Accordingly, the author suggests to rename the whole dimension as “meta-environmentality”. The analysis is carried out on the basis of a specific comparison between Cassirer’s definition of “animal symbolicum” and its scientific consistence in the light of modern palaeontology. “Animal symbolicum” is here compared with Leroi-Gourhan’s homo technologicus, and Cassirer’s ideas on human identity tested starting from paleoanthropological data. The result of the inquiry lead us to recognize the urgency of integrating Cassirer’s argument with the primacy of the technological capacity, but a deep analysis of the characterizing attributes of the latter compels us to uphold the symbolic attitude of the technological dimension. The author then sketches a basic description ofthe guidelines of a symbolic theory of technology (especially §§ 6-7), and tries to show how the basic elements of such an approach were familiar both to Cassirer and Leroi-Gourhan. As a consequence of the whole theory, the author elaborates a chronological analysis of human identity, whose basic result is the determination of the future as main temporal dimension of human acting.

This essay describes the impact of COVID-19 related policies on the democratic fabric of German society, focusing the situation of children. It applies a methodology of ethics for salutogenesis, exploring, how policies and underlying motifs align with doing the right things for the right reasons. Five key areas are analyzed in the social-political specter of power of health-related judgement, connecting psychology, politics, economy, academia and culture. The discussion finds that the crisis reveals grave and basic flaws in the texture of democratic culture that could be healed by serious measures to reinvigorate the spirit of the German Constitution.

Friedrich Nietzsche’s (1844-1900) legacy in the texts of the prominent protestant theologian, religious and cultural philosopher Ernst Troeltsch (1865-1923) could not be overlooked. Troeltsch, together with Adolf von Harnack (1851-1930) and Wilhelm Herrmann (1846-1922), belongs to the main circle of representatives of the Cultural Protestantism. In his analysis of the reasons and consequences of social and cultural changes and ruptures occurring at the beginning of the 20th century, Nietzsche’s philosophy became one of the main references to Troeltsch. Also Nietzsche’s attempts to overcome the menacing nihilism as a result of the decline of Christian faith has a strong influence on Troeltsch’s ethical studies. In its first part the article discusses the criticism of Nietzsche’s esthetical ethics performed by Troeltsch. The second part is dedicated to the concept of Troeltsch’s idea of History. The third part presents Troeltsch’s understanding of sense and senselessness.
PL
W artykule omawiono recepcję idei niemieckiego filozofa Fryderyka Nietzschego (1844-1900) w pismach teologa, filozofa religii i kultury Ernsta Troeltscha (1865-1923). Wpływ ten jest nie do przecenienia. Troeltsch obok Adolfa von Harnacka (1851-1930) i Wilhelma Herrmanna (1846-1922) należy do czołowych przedstawicieli protestantyzmu kulturowego. Artykuł analizuje powody i konsekwencje zmian społecznych i kulturowych, jakie miały miejsce na początku XX wieku. W tym kontekście, idee Nietzschego jawią się jako jedna z głównych inspiracji twórczości Troeltscha. Próby Nietzschego pokonania grożącego nihilizmu, będącego wynikiem upadku wiary chrześcijańskiej, mają również silny wpływ na studia Troeltscha nad etyką. W artykule omówiono najpierw krytykę estetycznej etyki Nietzschego przeprowadzoną przez Troeltscha. Druga cześć poświęcona jest troeltschowskiej koncepcji etycznej historii. Część trzecia zdaje relację z metafizyki historii, w której sens przeplata się z bezsensem.
