Emphasizing the meaning of spiritual gifts is a specific feature of Catholic Charismatic Renewal. In this paper – based on the fieldwork in a community in Przeworsk (Rzeszowszczyzna, Poland) – the author shows how the spiritual gift and its experience are described by believers. Particular attention is given to emic category of “opening oneself” to a spiritual gift, which is connected with the specific conception of human. The Martin Holbraad’s approach of ontological turn is used to analyze these concepts. It enables to revise assumptions of some anthropologists working on charismatic communities. The author shows what are consequences of this approach for anthropological studies of conversion, theory of mind and learning.

Recent writing associated with the so-called “ontological turn” provokes many theoretical questions. Anthropologists associated with the ontological turn deny the representationalist framework, where cultures are treated as clusters of beliefs that operate like different perspectives on a single world. These authors speak about many “worlds” instead of many cultures, and therefore it seems to imply a kind of relativism. We argue that, unlike earlier forms of relativism, the ontological turn in anthropology is not only immune to the arguments of Donald Davidson’s “The Very Idea of a Conceptual Scheme”, but it affirms and develops the antirepresentationalist position of Davidson’s subsequent essays.

The so-called ontological turn, drawing largely on Viveiros de Castro´s notion of Amazonian perspectivism, has attracted considerable attention in contemporary anthropology. The proponents of ontological relativism were indeed submitted to strong criticism focusing, among other things, on the questions of obscurity, solipsism or meta-ontology. In the theoretical section of the study, I present selected themes of this approach, its merits, but also its difficulties that I try to overcome by means of present-day phenomenological anthropology. The key question - in which are the examined otherness and its apprehending grounded? - I attempt to answer through the concepts of the everyday experience and the lifeworld. In the empirical section of the study, I illustrate the theory with the ethnography of Maya perception of crosses, mountains and caves, which are considered to be living and acting beings.

Celem tekstu jest pokazanie aksjologicznych konsekwencji zwrotu ontologicznego, jaki dokonał się w studiach nad nauką i techniką. W tekście autor posługuje się autorską koncepcją wyobraźni ontologicznej, która jest radykalizacją wyobraźni socjologicznej C. W. Millsa. Autor przeanalizował trzy sposoby interpretacji ludobójstwa w Rwandzie. Pokazał, że przejście od epistemocentrycznego do ontologicznego sposobu analizy pozwala uniknąć impasu relatywistycznego. Proponuje rozwiązanie w postaci „ontologicznych polityk” i „ontonorm” (A. Mol). Dzięki czemu uwidacznia się ontologiczny wymiar wyborów aksjologicznych.

The purpose of this article is to show consequences of the ontological turn in studies on science and technology. In article the author uses as a conceptual tool the concept of ontological imagination, which is a radicalization of the sociological imagination (C. W. Mills). Author analyzes three ways of interpreting the genocide in Rwanda. To avoid the relativistic deadlock he proposes a shift from the epistemocentric to ontological approach method. This shift may be defined as “ontological policies” and “ontonorms” (A. Mol). In result, ontological dimensions of axiological choices are revealed.
