Obraz člověka v díle Metoděje Habáně

100%
EN
The main aim of the article is to provide an introduction to major themes, which can be found in the work of Metoděj Habáň OP (1899 –1984), the Czech Dominican priest and philosopher. It concludes, based on an overview of Habáň’s key texts, that the main purpose of his work was to defend man as a free and spiritual being, characterized above all by rational thinking and free will. We can therefore argue that Metoděj Habáň should be understood primarily as an author in the field of philosophical anthropology. The paper presents the basic points of Habáň’s thinking, which is based on the interconnection between the world of modern science with classical Thomistic Metaphysics. It is also focused on Habáň’s reasoning about human nature and the essence of human life, his search for an active and meaningful existence and concludes with a reflection on spirituality and mysticism as an integral part of human life.

Josef Grimmenstein, thanks to his noble origin and the favor of the Habsburg­‑Lorraine ruling family, became a canon of the Metropolitan Capital of Olomouc, although he never worked pastorally in the Archdiocese. He neglected his duties as a canon, and was mostly outside the Archdiocese. He justified his absence (his neglect of residence obligations) by health problems. In addition, reports appeared from time to time about his debts or non­‑priestly behavior. Archbishops Cardinal Skrbenský and Stojan urged him to adhere to the residence, but the change did not occur. Archbishop Leopold Prečan did not want to continue to tolerate Grimmenstein’s neglect of the discipline when Grimmenstein asked for a two­‑year dispensation from the duty of residence for health reasons (1924), Prečan refused to grant the dispensation, stating that Rome would have to decide. Rome, in light of Grimmenstein´s previous deliberations, ordered a resignation and a proposed retirement. Grimmenstein tried to defend himself and did not hesitate to use various means including a number of influential friends. The Congregation confirmed their decision, however, and he finally received a raise of pension from 10,000 CZK to 20,000 CZK, thanks to the generosity of the Chapter which paid the pension (due, however, to outstanding debts part of his pension was confiscated by the bank). He also asked for further financial help in the following years, arguing for his poor financial status (he did not add, however, that he had incurred it himself). He stayed in Paris and then in Rome, where Prečan regularly sent him not only confirmation of his priesthood (celebret), but especially financial help. After the onset of Nazism and the dissolution of Czechoslovakia, he travelled more likely to the Protectorate or the Nazi Reich and did not hesitate to engage in negotiations with the Nazi authorities.

Bruno Munari left an important legacy to both Italian and international children’s literatures. The hallmarks of this legacy are traditionally considered to be his picture books and their unique visual narratives, illustrations, and tactile surfaces. This essay, however, takes a different approach to interpreting his work. It uses a selection of Munari’s picture books to demonstrate how the extent of his legacy is far more wide-reaching, depicting it as a crossroads that links various features of his long career as an artist and designer. These features include the extraordinary nature of everyday life, faith in the visual, and the challenges laid down by limits, all of which are also fundamental to contemporary children’s literature.

Bruno Munari ha lasciato un’importante eredità alla letteratura per l’infanzia, non solo a livello italiano, ma anche internazionale. In genere, si ritiene che questo lascito sia costituito dall’insieme delle sue singolari narrazioni visive e delle sue innovative soluzioni grafico-tipografiche. Il saggio, invece, mette in evidenza, anche attraverso la presentazione di alcuni albi illustrati scelti a titolo esemplificativo, un differente orientamento interpretativo per dimostrare che l’apporto di Munari è molto più vasto poiché rappresenta uno specialissimo crocevia che riannoda vari elementi della sua lunga attività artistica, fondamentali per la letteratura destinata all’infanzia: la straordinarietà del quotidiano, la fiducia nel visivo, la sfida del limite.

The Appointment of the Vacant Canons in the metropolitan chapter of Olomouc, according to the statutes of 1826, included the Metropolitan Chapter and the Emperor. This type of occupation was abolished by the new Code of Canon Law (1917) and in 1918 the monarchy ceased to exist. While at the time of the episcopate of Archbishop Stojan the controversy over the Appointment of Vacant Canons took place especially with the newly established Czechoslovak state, which had forfeited the privileges of the "Habsburg Monarchy". Stojan was able to appoint new Canons in 1923. His successor Leopold Prečan also had to deal with the issue of vacant Canons as well as the question of the approval of the new statutes of the Olomouc metropolitan chapter, which would be in accordance with the new Code of Canon Law. While the appointment of the vacant canons was achieved in 1933 and 1938, the approval of the recalculated chapter statutes was not achieved until the end of his episcopate. Precan’s successor, Archbishop Matocha, also called for the chapter to present revised statutes, but due to the emergence of the Communist totalitarian system in Czechoslovakia, it was not the appropriate time to approve the statutes. The capital statutes of 1826 thus applied until 1994, when new statutes were approved by Archbishop Jan Graubner, which were modified to be in accordance with the Code of Canon Law.
