New Age is a multidimensional and complex phenomenon, almost amorphous, escaping the traditional conceptual formulas. And although numerous publications and studies on New Age are still being developed, it is not easy to describe this movement. Let us, therefore, reach to the sources from which its inspirations have been drawn and through their analysis, let us try to approach the spiritual plane on which New Age views have been built. Let us look a little closer to its original matrix, namely the esoteric and theosophic traditions disseminated in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in European intellectual circles, secret knowledge, known as gnosis, and also turn to ancient pagan beliefs and magical rituals, towards shamanism. Perhaps in their message we will succeed to understand the broadly understood New Age “spirituality”.

Статья посвящена хасидской философии, которая разработана на Волыни, Подолии и Восточной Галиции в XVIII веке. Главной особенностью этой философии было „трансформировать дух Каббалы в этос”. Хасиды, используя теософские и онтологическиe предположения средневековой и Лурианской еврейской Каббалы, создали оригинальные системы антро-пологические и этические. Они подчёркивали роль человека в постоянном процессе создания бытия. По их словам, состояние Бога зависело от пос-тупков людей – Бог нуждается в человеке для свoего искупления, т.е. чтобы вернуться к Себе из свoего изгнания.

The article is dedicated to the philosophy of Hassidism, which originated in Volhynia, Podolia and eastern Galicia in the 18th century. ‘Transforming the Kabbalah into ethos’ can be regarded as the most distinctive feature of this philosophy. For the Hassidic thinkers created their own anthropological and ethical system, using theosophical and ontological concepts of the medieval and Lurianic Kabbalah. They stressed the role of man in the everlasting and continuous process of creation. In their thought, the condition of God as such and His well-being are completely dependent on human actions and deeds, because it is God himself who needs human help to be redeemed, by returning to Himself from His exile.

The Occultist Background of Bolshevism

The revolution in Russia was not conceived among workers and peasants, as it has been accepted in popular historiography. It was a project with intelligentsia roots and an esoteric background. The aim of the article is to show the long occultist path that led to Bolshevism and communism, whose origins date back to the times of Peter I and his reforms, carried out in the spirit of Western Gnosticism with the help of secret societies. In the 19th century Russia was captured by an occult frenzy, which combined various currents of thought and made the society treat the revolution as a mystical action leading to the construction of a new world. The issue we deal with in the article covers a wide range of interrelated social, political and cultural phenomena over the three hundred years of Russian history, for which the international context is extremely important. For obvious reasons, we do not aspire to exhaust the subject. The text is intended to draw attention to the actual profound causes for the origination of Bolshevism and communism, creating a scientific basis for a study that will be soon brought out in the book form.

Citizen of the Universe. Konstantin Tsiolkovsky’s cosmic philosophy and science fiction

The paper discusses Konstantin Tsiolkovsky’s philosophy as it can be reconstructed from his writings of two kinds, the academic papers and the works generally, though not always correctly, classified as science fiction. It is stressed that Tsiolkovsky belongs to the large school of Russian philosophers known as the Cosmists, and he is placed within the group of 20th century academic-minded Cosmists. The first part of the paper reconstructs Tsiolkovsky’s cosmic philosophy on the basis of his philosophical works, which amount to half of his published works. The second part of the paper discusses all the works by Tsiolkovsky available in English under the science fiction label. The paper also contains comparisons of Tsiolkovsky’s views with the philosophicalreligious system propagated by Nicholas and Helena Roerich, known as Agni Yoga, and its ancient Indian roots. It is also mentioned that Tsiolkovsky played an important role in the development of the early Russian, or more properly Soviet, science fiction movies. The paper stresses that Tsiolkovsky always based his writings on solid scientific foundations, so that the label “science fiction” does not always apply to them.
PL
Artykuł omawia filozofię Konstantego Ciołkowskiego na podstawie jej rekonstrukcji w oparciu o dwa rodzaje jego pism, prace naukowe i prace z reguły, choć nie zawsze poprawnie, klasyfikowane jako fantastyka naukowa. Podkreśla się, że Ciołkowski należał do dużej szkoły filozofii rosyjskiej znanej jako kosmiści: określone zostaje jego miejsce wśród XX-wiecznych kosmistów o nastawieniu naukowym. W pierwszej części artykułu autor dokonuje rekonstrukcji kosmicznej filozofii Ciołkowskiego na podstawie jego pism filozoficznych, które stanowią połowę jego opublikowanego dorobku. W drugiej części omówiono wszystkie dzieła Ciołkowskiego dostępne po angielsku i klasyfikowane jako science-fiction. Artykuł zawiera także porównania filozofii Ciołkowskiego z filozoficzno-religijnym systemem propagowanym przez Mikołaja i Helenę Rerichów, znanym jako Agni Joga, i jego staroindyjskimi korzeniami. Autor podkreśla że Ciołkowski odegrał ważną rolę w rozwoju wczesnego rosyjskiego, a – ściśle mówiąc – radzieckiego kina science fiction oraz zaznacza, że Ciołkowski opierał swe rozważania filozoficzne na solidnych podstawach naukowych, a zatem etykietka science fiction nie zawsze do jego pism pasuje.
