Eternity could be considered as both timeless “now” as well as the totalityof infinite time. In Western thought those two notions (or two meanings) coexist fora long time, however their senses, origins and context of functioning are different. Distinctionbetween those two meanings leads us to better comprehension of the very co cept of the eternity, and also provides us an useful tools to solve some classical philosophicalproblems connected with this concept, for example: problems of the eternity of the mathematics truths, eternity of the God or of the world.

The question asked by Socrates in Plato’s Eutyphro: ’Is the pious dear to the gods because it is pious, or is it pious because it is dear to the gods?’ can be understood as symbol of a growing tension between religion and philosophy (faith and reason). Additionally, this question is linked to a crucial issue of morality’s foundations because a question ‘what is pious?’ can be interpretated as a question ‘what is morally right?’ in particular religion. Socrates’ question about the meaning of piety not only is important itself but also because of its reason and consequences. It represents the beginning of the process that lead to conclusion that only reason can decide what is pious. This conclusion is an essential feature of the Western thought because it was underlying philosophical theology evolving since Antiquity and natural religion born in Modern Age. The platonic paradigma that only the Good can be divine is applied to both of them. The question I raised in my article has ancient origin. Nevertheless, it is universal and transhistorical question, important for Modern World.

The aim of this paper is to present the main theses and the importance of Tatarkiewicz’s article The dispute about Plato (Spór o Platona) in polish reception of Plato’s philosophy. This article – which was published by Tatarkiewicz a hundred yeas ago (1911) – was the first presentation of the new and interesting interpretation of Plato’s theory of ideas which was inspired by Marburg neo-Kantian school. In Tatarkiewicz’s view the Plato’s philosophy is not some kind of metaphysics but it is generally the theory of knowledge. We can agree this is still unusual approach to Plato and we have a good reason to remind this early Tatarkiewicz’s essay.

The aim of the article is to show the difference between the philosophical and religious concepts of God as transcendence. Both philosophy and religion refer to the idea of transcendence; however, according to the author of this paper, the concept is used in slightly different ways. In philosophy, the concept of transcendence has a radical meaning, i.e. God is understood as being absolutely distinct from our world and completely unknowable. In religion, on the other hand, the notion of transcendence has a less radical meaning because only in this way can the main aim of religion, which is to develop a relationship with God, be achieved. This article provides examples of how the transcendence of God was interpreted religiously, in particular, how this concept was understood by negative theology, Protestant theology and Catholic theology. In addition, the author argues against the philosophical criticism of religion, which is based on the assumption that since God is transcendent, all religions do not concern the true God, but rather a false idol, and therefore they are considered idolatry.
