In contemporary analytical philosophy of religion, there is a discussion devoted to the problem of divine hiddenness. The main question it raises is “why isn’t God more obvious?” This discussion has a part in common with the discussion going on under the heading “axiology of theism”. The main question is whether we should want God to exist. Situated at the intersection of these two discussions is the so-called “axiological answer to the problem of divine hiddenness”. This answer is contained in the statement that a world in which God is not fully manifest is better than a world in which God’s obviousness would be greater. In this article I will follow in the footsteps of the proponents of the “axiological answer” to the question of divine hiddenness. The subject of my interest will be the question “should we want to see God more clearly?” Thus, I will consider the problem, which can be classified in the area of the “axiology of the phenomenology of religion”. Guides on the way to finding an answer to this question will be analytical philosophers of religion, as well as Blaise Pascal and Joseph Ratzinger. I will take up the consideration of the epistemic situation in which “ordinary” human beings find themselves, and expand it to include a Christological thread. I will present arguments for the thesis that we should not want to see God more clearly.

We współczesnej analitycznej filozofii religii toczy się dyskusja poświęcona zagadnieniu Bożej ukrytości. Główne pytanie, jakie w niej pada, brzmi: „dlaczego Bóg nie jest bardziej jawny?” Dyskusja ta posiada część wspólną z dyskusją toczącą się pod hasłem „aksjologia teizmu”. Główne pytanie tej dyskusji dotyczy kwestii, czy powinniśmy chcieć, aby Bóg istniał. Na skrzyżowaniu tych dwóch dyskusji sytuuje się tzw. aksjologiczna odpowiedź na problem Bożej ukrytości. Odpowiedź ta zawiera się w stwierdzeniu, że świat, w którym Bóg nie jest w pełni jawny, jest lepszy niż taki świat, w którym jawność Boga byłaby większa. W niniejszym artykule pójdę śladem zwolenników „aksjologicznej odpowiedzi” na pytanie o Bożą ukrytość. Przedmiotem mojego zainteresowania będzie pytanie: „czy powinniśmy chcieć widzieć Boga wyraźniej?” Podejmę więc problem, który zaliczyć można do obszaru „aksjologii fenomenologii religii”. Przewodnikami na drodze do znalezienia odpowiedzi na to pytanie będą analityczni filozofowie religii, a także Blaise Pascal i Joseph Ratzinger. Podejmę rozważanie nad sytuacją epistemiczną, w jakiej znajdują się „zwykłe” ludzkie byty i rozszerzę je o wątek chrystologiczny. Przedstawię argumenty na rzecz tezy, że nie powinniśmy chcieć widzieć Boga wyraźniej.

The paper focuses on a comparison by taking some of the main results of the European tradition of phenomenology of religion represented and further developed by Jean-Luc Marion. His views on the constitution of the “I” look promising for a comparison when contrasted with the views on the same phenomenon in Indian religious traditions. Marion, whose rich work is in the main part devoted to the philosophy of donation, discovered a new way that led him from the givenness of the object of knowledge/perception to the understanding of self-givenness of the subject up to a new understanding of the experience of god. The author chooses as a start¬ing point the central question in Marion’s work which refers to the constitution of the “I” and the problem of whether it is able to constitute itself or whether something exists that constitutes the “I” beforehand without leaving the concept of subjectivity. For the Indian side, he offers examples for the way in which the constitution of the “I” takes place or not and what relevance a kind of givenness has in this context not only for a concept of the subject but also for the theistic ideas in Indian traditions.

On the grounds of the analysis made by the author of the elaboration one can notice a strong tendency to the relativisation of truth performing in the context of the pluralist theology of religion. Representatives of the aforementioned trend want to question the objective character of truth. Such actions are aimed at leading to the statement that all religions are equally exceptional. To clearly understand the theses of pluralists, philosophical foundations of the pluralist theology of religion have been depicted. It must be stated that pluralists use philosophical notions selectively and instrumentally, which makes it possible to reach desirable conclusions. The contestation of the absolute and objective character of truth has serious consequences and exerts an influence upon the understanding of interreligious dialogue. The problem of resignation from one's own religious identity appears. Defending themselves against such an accusation, pluralists introduce the concept of orthopraxis as the criterion of truth. Consequently, the determinant of truth is its ability to realize itself in the proper demeanour. Views presented in the pluralist theology of religion constitute a serious reproach to Christian truth as well as biblical truth.

Bolesław Leśmian enjoy unflagging popularity this days. Because of that, I tried to revalue Legends of longing, which appeared in researches as a rader modest, early works than valid mile stone in writing practise of Leśmian. To do so, I’ve read them mostly in hermeneutical way.
