The paper analyses the provocative elements and stormy reception of Gibson's 'Passion' with the help of Morris's semiotic-axiological conceptual set. It compares the manipulation of appearance with the manipulated sight of the frescoes in Baroque domes opening to the physical sky and the metaphysical Heaven. In the latter one it interprets the pia fraus stressed by Küng with the pragmatic approach of semiotics. Zwick's finding that the film has nothing much to do with the passion story of the Gospel, moreover, it falsifies the context reconstructed by biblical studies, and it is rather the filming of the joint work of Emmeric-Brentano's late German romanticism, puts it in parallel to Gyula Morel's radical criticism of the Church, according to which the fundamentalist schools do not go back to the pure source, but only up to those periods, when the influence of religion was stronger than it is today. Viewing the film instigates the reflexive mind to the meta-level recognition, probably not intended by the director of the film, that one should revise such a godly image of violent tribalism that would set the example of 'drunken by blood' as a solution to the problems of man.

An attempt is made to interpret by three interlinked way a problem dividing public opinion, namely the theme of the 'Big Brother of Oszöd'. These approaches are: (1) of the 'sociology of values', (2) a study with the help of the set of concepts of the 'sociological theory of roles', and (3) the analysis utilising the 'model of strategic interaction'. This enterprise leads us to the general sociological critique of the functional quality of our domestic political life, and also tangentially to its structural order in the background. At first the scientific 'road-polygon' of the approach to the problem dividing the society, next with the help of its rigorous programme we attempt the interpretation of this phenomenon gripped by the 'vice of logic' (Max Weber) by 'medium-level sociological theories'. Finally, more of just looking out, a 'politological solution of the problem of hypothetic status' is outlined.

The author greets a scholar, politician and researcher of major format on the occasion of his eightieth birthday. During his life full of work Kálmán Kulcsár has introduced new disciplines in Hungary, as a science politician he made major efforts for the establishment and consolidation of the institutions of sociology and political science. As a professor he taught the theory of the state and of law, and the sociology of law to generations, as a politician and Minister of Justice he did a great deal for the legal preparation of the change of the political system. As a diplomat he represented our country in Ottawa to the satisfaction of all. Above all he is an extremely prolific researcher who publishes his interesting writings to this day. His interest extends over theoretical questions to the development of individual societies, from Europe to Asia, his profundity is legendary; his clear-cut style makes his writings enjoyable to the reader. We hope that he would surprise his associates, disciples and the Hungarian academic life with several new works to come.

In our study we propound the apparently paradoxical hypothesis that religion/spirituality, commonly known to concern 'things eternal', can be expected to undergo some kind of evolution, i.e. temporal change. This raises two questions; first, as to the manner in which this could take place or, in other words, as to the specific process model (or more generally speaking theory) of evolution in accordance with which it could happen; secondly, as to what sort of more highly developed form of spirituality this process can be expected to bring about. We attempt to answer the first question, i.e. the question of 'how', by taking as our point of departure the thesis of systems theoretic evolutionary theory, according to which self-referential systems (Luhmann) produce the morphogenesis of self-transcendence (Rahner) in an interaction between each other's autopoietic powers (Ervin László). A (partial) answer to the second question, that of content, is attempted through a theory of salutogenesis (Antonovsky) and the concept of strategic and integrative psychotherapy (Béla Buda). Our discussion proceeds in partial correspondence with the procedure followed by Aquinas: we first pose the question (Questio: utrum sit), to which we propose a few sceptical answers and objections (Videtur quod non); this is followed by an exposition of our admittedly paradoxical conception (Sed contra dicendum); finally we attempt to answer the sceptical challenges (Responditur ad primum etc.). As, however, we empathically recognise the rational and progressive insights implicit in such sceptical challenges as are not only reasonable but positively progressive, we go one step beyond the medieval discussion pattern; we do not consider our hypothesis as established but merely as the foundation for a Delphi discussion to which we invite contributions in our Discussion section by proposing a set of new questions.
