The article dwells with the problem of transcendental unity as opposed to mathematical one. Fine arts know well their preponderance over production, for they appeal to the prior perception of subsitent, individual beings, whilst production is manner of subordnation of the nature on its quantitative aspect. Metaphysics thus dwells with the transcendental unity and is indispenasable for human being - individual of intellectual nature.

The goal of the paper is to present the ideological development of Slovak political thinking in the late 19th century. The framework of the study is built on the journalistic activities of the most significant political thinkers going on in the given phase of the development of Slovak national ideology. Their ideas and reflections on the goals and means of nation-forming process are presented against a background of the continuity or ruptures in the development of Slovak political thinking. The study is supported by the articles from the contemporary print media which became an important way of promoting the manifesto goals and ideas of politically engaged individuals in the Hungarian politics of those times. The comparative and historiograhic method has been used to analyse the contributors´ articles from the contemporary print media against a background of the findings of some already published research into Nationalism and the development of Slovak political thinking. The study proves the presence of a formally unifying element in the development of Slovak political thinking, which is however given various interpretations due to the changes in the historical context. This is found in reflections on the idea of the unity of the different, which was behind the legitimization of the linguistic autonomy of Slovak literature and various shades of its meaning are part of Romantic-Realist as well as liberal, civil concepts of national development. The variety of interpretations of Štúr´s concept of the unity of the different causes ruptures in the development of Slovak political thinking due to the dynamic development of the society. He completely departs from the original goal of national emancipation, i.e. to form the individual character of the Slovaks and establish their national institutions. Another parallel negative consequence of the discontinuous development of Slovak political thinking is the idea promoting the positives of ideological and political homogeneity within the national emancipation process, which led to adopting national and cultural aspects of uncritical reflection on the authority of national elite and their roles in pursuing the national goals.

The problems dealt in this study are problems of political philosophy and practice. Some new theoretical proposals as well as some interpretations of political doctrines of the past are developed in the study. The study is analytical in character and is devoted to definition and elaboration of theoretical ideas, most especially the one of two conceptions of unity. The study consists of the concept of two traditions in political thinking, conversational turn, egalitarianism (epistemological, moral and political), and the idea of agonistic democracy. These ideas are supplemented here by distinction between two concept of unity, inter-passivity, and the idea of the constitutive role of antagonism for (our understanding of) human nature, society and politics.

The study relates to the personality of M.J. Metzger, as one of the relevant protagonist of the ecumenical movement in Germany striving to build a path to the unity of the church on theological and practical level. The study approaches his participation by founding of the ecumenical fraternity Una Sancta, organization of ecumenical dialogs in Meitingen with the intention to consider fundamental ecclesiological topics among the theologians and believers of other Christian churches. At last it is mentioned his courageous step – the letter to the Pope Pius XII, in which he underlines the co-responsibility of Christians in the process of reconciliation of church and at the same time he critically describes the attitude of the Catholic Church to the ecumenism. Our scope is accentuate the prophetical Metzger’s view perceiving ecumenism as a part of the inner nature of the Church, and whose reform should culminate in calling the council, which also expects other Christian churches.

The study offers the profile of life and work of M.J. Metzger, priest and martyr at the time of National Socialism in Germany and it presents his personal involvement in the pacifistic movement and in its national and transnational structures. Based on his articles and lectures the article is able to see his tangible encouraging approach and perspective of his theology of peace. Its fundamental elements are constituted by: international reconciliation as a principle of international peace; the foundation of peace is truth, justice, love; upholding of human rights; implementation of Christian politics regarding the overcoming of any nationalism; future federation of European states; peace as a category of the kingdom of God; shared responsibility of all Christians in social and moral questions; the criticism of failure to respond according to the spirit of Gospel; refusing of war and arm race; the peace as a problem of education. The second part of the study is concerned with the enforcement of his attitudes at the time of National Socialism and in consequence his persecution as ideological archenemy of regime, his imprisonment and execution. In the end we offer the ecclesiological and theological valuation of personage, in the last analysis as a significant figure and relevant theologian of the first half of the twentieth century, credited with rebuilding the Church, first of all on the field of ecumenism and practical life of faith of people moving toward a vision of the Church of The Second Vatican Council.

According to what is known as the classic theory, beauty can be defined as unity or formal harmony. To overcome some of the criticisms that it encountered, the American philosopher Jared S. Moore proposed, in his paper from 1942, a modernisation of such theory, by distinguishing various types and subtypes of harmony which, taken together, are intended to cover both the objective and the subjective sides of beauty. Our goal is to look closer to some of the main principles that emerge within Moore’s intricate taxonomy of harmony – most notably, the principles of organic unity, fittingness, and empathy – which in his article are only sketched or implicitly suggested. Employing such supplementations, we hope to make J.S. Moore’s comprehensive view of beauty even more complete from a theoretical standpoint and suitable to face the challenge posed by the modernist and postmodern artistic practices, which seemingly undermined the notions of beauty and formal harmony.

In this article I present and critically analyze the main ideas of the Nigerian thinker, Ifeanyi A. Menkiti, on the future of the multi-ethnic state in Africa. Menkiti appears to consider that the basic condition for the successful coexistence of the various groups occupying the states of Africa is for relations between them to rest on just principles. Justice should involve the fair and equitable division amongst peoples of the burdens and benefits of living in a common state. To realize this ideal, he proposes the creation in Africa of morally neutral, managerial states. He bases his plan in part on the ideas of John Rawls. Close analysis of Menkiti's views shows that his vision of the minimalist state is only a temporary solution, which is to lead to the peaceful dismemberment of the current post-colonial model of multi-ethnic states functioning within the old colonial borders. The basic value of Menkiti's thought rests in his reversal of the usual perspective on African states, as he considers that maintaining territorial integrity or achieving unity should no longer be considered a paramount necessity.

The article sheds light on how Thomas Aquinas philosophically explained and founded the unity of human being as the centre of the created universe, establishing the continuity between the spheres of nature and intellect. Thomas’ conception is explored with respect to older doctrines drawing on Aristotle’s hylemorfic approach, especially to human soul, showing at the same time the development of Thomas’ conception itself. In Thomas the traditional problem of a possible uniting the soul as a form with the soul as a founding principle of thinking is successfully eliminated by transposing the psychological problematic as a whole to metaphysical level (especially in his later writing De substantiis separatis). This shift enabled him to explain the continuity of universe as well as the unity of human being thanks to the distinction between essence and being taken from Avicenna.

The idea of content and form being two separate components of the artistic image is a rather ancient legacy of European art theory. The origins of the notion of form can be found in classical sources; in a simplified way, content is what the artwork is 'about' and form relates to 'how' this content is made manifest. As noted by the Polish aesthetician Wladyslaw Tatarkiewicz, form can have at least five meanings. Form as opposed to content is only one possible reading; another no less important sense is the interpretation of form as the relationships of parts and their proportions. In the local art-theoretical material both the above-mentioned senses of form (form as style and form as relationships of parts) are largely blended together, speaking at the same time about perceptible formal qualities and the modes of their arrangement. Early 20th century theoretical thought is largely concerned with lessening the significance of content in art, especially 'significant' content as promoted by the academic tradition. It was replaced by everyday subjects considered equally significant by artists who stressed form as embodying the unique vision of the individual. From a Marxist viewpoint, symbolism was termed formalist although it is rather content-based in the context of other 20th century trends. In the early 1920s, when an open clash broke out between the 'old' academic art and the Riga Artists' Group, young artists tended to stress the importance of form, seemingly diminishing the role of content. The local scene was typified by the search for a midway between 'traditional' and radically innovative form, denouncing both the imitation of nature by 'old means' and 'contemporary' form lacking any deeper content.

The article highlights the uniqueness of the city of Jerusalem through the original, mystical qualities of this famous Jerusalem artist. Rakia perceives both the ethereal and the earthly Jerusalem, uniting them into a perfect singularity that constitutes the core of the world. Through the application of three elements, the artist combines imagination and originality in his successful creation of authentic images of the city. He conveys a mystical spirituality through the purity of light; content and biblical-historical-religious associations are added through the use of the letters of the Hebrew alphabet; through his choice of one dominant color that might not be realistic , he bestows upon the holy city both a realistic and imaginary-spiritual character that accurately reflect its rare complexity.
