This article is an attempt at analysing educational issues from the perspective of teleology. Teleology is a sub-discipline of philosophical and religious reflection. Providing a purpose is a fundamental act of humans. This type of reflection is also needed in education. The article presents four possible types of relations between philosophy and religion in culture. These various possibilities result in various solutions that can be employed in upbringing. Depending on the adopted system of values, a young person will have a different vision of the world.

The article discusses important religious motifs that appear in the broad philosophical and artistic work of Miguel de Unamuno, Del sentimiento trágico de la vida en los hombres y en los pueblos. One of them is the problem of immortality, which is one of the most important issues that often appears in the reflections of the Spanish writer. The author distinguishes several levels of immortality: (1) biological, (2) cultural, and (3) species. Unamuno, using the Catholic tradition, navigates various dogmas of Catholic beliefs, while maintaining creative independence in these intellectual explorations. He also changed his mind towards the Catholic Church itself, believing that it limited the field of freedom in philosophical and religious discussions. However, in his late essays, Unamuno defended Christian culture as important for Spanish and European identity. With some reservations, the author’s philosophy of religion and culture can be classified as adequate to irrationalism and existentialism.

This article aims to analyze selected themes from the work of Miguel de Molinos’ The Spiritual Guide, a 17th-century Spanish mystic. An attempt has been made to organize the structure of the tratcat, creating a map of metaphors and affects. Among these metaphors, several types were distinguished: images of wandering, places, figures and situations. The affects were divided into “positive” and “negative” in terms of those that, according to Molinos, promote spiritual development and those that hinder it. The text also identifies the key controversies of Molinos’ mystical work and its relationship to the Spanish mystical tradition.

In its analysis of visual culture accessibility for people with vision loss, this article refers to the basic types of visual impairments while highlighting the diversity of the groups and needs of the blind and visually impaired. Philosophical metaphors of statues and buckets are used to depict the cognitive situation of people with visual impairments. Seeking to capture the theoretical nature of the blind subject, the paper does not devalue their vision loss but shows that their aesthetic experience may be as valuable as that of a person without such impairment. The next section offers an overview of selected cultural events and good artistic practices in terms of visual culture accessibility, with a particular focus on the exhibition Choroba jako źródło sztuki (Illness as a Source of Art), held at the National Museum in Poznań in 2019. The problem of visual impairment in visual culture is discussed from several perspectives: that of a blind observer, a blind artist, and blind society (mind-blindness).

The article focuses on hearing assistive technologies for hearing impaired people, and analyzes them in terms of the development of Deaf Culture. The culture of this community manifests itself through their attachment to the use of sign language and in various artistic activities which strengthen the identity of the members and supporters. With various assistive technologies available (particularly hearing aids and cochlear implants), a cultural dilemma arises related on the one hand to the cyborgisation and on the other hand to the neo-Luddism of the deaf and hard of hearing. Most of them avail of technology, but at the price of a certain level of cyborgization. However, there is a minority in Deaf Culture which, wishing to preserve its Deaf identity, rejects technology, thus subscribing to the technophobic process of opposing technological devices and machines, initiated by the Luddites in the 19th century.
