The aim of this article is to highlight the category of joy in the faith, which has changed over the centuries from the initial spontaneous, unprompted joy of the availability of souls’ salvation to joy as an evidence of repentance, what we can see in particular Dante’s sad sinners in the fifth circle. Dante does not believe that people could feel the joy spontaneously and therefore establishes the need to rejoice as a command, which defaulting he punishes by putting them to hell: it is a punishment of lack of joy and therefore sorrow, and acedia. Dante’s sad sinners are considered mentally ill, who are unable to rejoice and that is why they are more reprehensible. He places them in the mud of Styx to analogously punish their memory. As they were sad in a pleasant atmosphere during their lives, now they are sad in the black mud. The concept of acedia is found in several works of contemporary authors of religious literature, but its translation has multiple meanings. It may be a reluctance but also sombre, oppressive sadness, a particular kind of melancholy and bitterness, in which a human becomes not only a passive and careless about any spiritual value but he also feels a repulsion to these values, his inside is full of anger and this could finally ends up in complete stupor.

The main aim of this article is to present Władysław Tatarkiewicz’s concept of joy in the context of his research on the issue of happiness. The phenomenon of joy is shown as a very important but not well known problem, playing a clue role in the philosophy of Plato, Plotinus, Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite, Meister Eckhart, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche and Lévinas, not only in the ethical but also in the epistemological context. W. Tatarkiewicz’s Analysis of Happiness is one of a very few works in Polish humanities, which is possible to treat as the frame of reference for the philosophical euforiology. In Analysis of Happiness he compares the joy and the happiness, according to such a differences between them as intensity, permanence, transcendence or mentality. The phenomenon of joy is also interpreted as a base for the happiness in the psychological understanding. Tatarkiewicz formulates a hierarchy of good states of mind, placing the joy between the pleasure and the jollification. The work Analysis of Happiness contains also the typology of joy – from the joy of life, Elysian joy, mystical joy, the joy of love, to the joy understood as the happiness of the moment.

The following article summarises some of the aspects of joy as a spiritual state (Descartes), and as an affect/stimulation of the modi of nature (Spinoza). The psycho-physiological (Descartes) and ontological (Spinoza) placement of joy creates basic differences in evaluation of the said state by the two philosophers. As a result, the moral instructions provided by them to the reader vary in an approach to the emotions and their effect on human actions. Descartes values the importance of sadness as an affect warning us from dangers; Spinoza claims that joy (as different from pleasure) can never be excessive and encourages pursuing it as a mean to achieve happiness.

Joy is an important element in all of Paul’s letters. This article analyses the theme of joy in First Thessalonians and the contribution it makes to the theme of joy in Christian life. The terminology of joy (the noun χαρά and the verb χαίρω) occurs six times in this letter. The exegesis shows the following inherent characteristics of joy as found in this epistle: joy originates from the Holy Spirit and it has a complex shape – it is the joy of the word of God together with its reception and action; it is the joy of faith, conversion, and a new way of life. It is also joy in spite of many tribulations and suffering. Last but not least, this joy is a part of God´s will, and on that account Paul encourages his readers to preserve in joy.

The purpose of this paper is to provide a contrastive analysis of some metaphorical conceptualizations of the notions expressed by the words alegría and radość. I analyze the metaphorical expressions which contain the lexical items in question and are based on the source domain of LIQUID. The method used in this study combines the theory of conceptual metaphor with the methods of corpus-based linguistics. This study is aimed to compare the way in which the source domain of LIQUID is elaborated linguistically in the analyzed expressions and to show which parameters of the emotion of joy are highlighted by particular aspects of this domain.
