Anastasius Bibliothecarius lists a number of texts by Constantine the Philosopher from Thessaloniki from which we learn about philosophical topics. We focus on the question whether a person has one or two souls. We look closely on this issue and interpret the text of Anastasius, which is ideologically and politically conditioned. The meaning of the word “slovo” in church-Slavonic Vita Constantini has been translated as a “speech”, ability to speak. Byzantine literature shows another interpretation of this church-Slavonic term.

The contemporary interpretation of Plato’s thought is grounded in its ethical dimension, whereas the aesthetic dimension is regarded as either reducible to ethics or inaccessible. The presentation of Plato’s philosophy in ethical, political and educational categories concentrates on the sphere of logos and neglects the sphere of mythos, which – even when taken into consideration – is treated exclusively as a paradigm of formal and logical thinking. In this way the most important aspect in this philosophy is distorted – the primal unity of objective and subjective aspects of cognition. The introduction of the category of philosophy and the category of music makes it possible to achieve a well balanced relationship between Good and Beauty when examining the dialogues. Restoring the aesthetic dimension of music allows for a more accurate interpretation of Plato’s philosophy and opens up a possibility of a new look at a very important type of cognition, deeply rooted in the spiritual basis of the European culture.

The present article focuses on the dramatic context of Plato’s dialogue Phaedo tracing in it, in one hand, a confrontation of philosophical and poetical approaches and, inter-textual references to the Apology on the other hand. Consequently, Plato’s intention as the author seems to be double: take a “revenge” for the trial and execution of Socrates, as well as to put the high philosophy “on trial”. This testing of the boundaries of the philosophy itself can be only launched from the standpoint of a competing side, which is poetry. That is why in Plato’s work the poetry, working with mythos, remains a permanent incentive to descend from the heights of idealism to a lower, second-best type of philosophy which takes into account the real conditions.

Christian saint and missionary Constantine with monastic name Kyrill has an attribute The Philosopher. Appellative form of the word 'philosopher' ranks his personality of extraordinary significance to the world of philosophers. In this study we systematically try to determine what is meant by the concept 'philosopher' in the light of biblical texts, in the descriptions of the church fathers and the Christian writers until the 9th century and in the church service of the Eastern Church. All these are namely the sources of an educational and a spiritual formation of his personality. Inomissible is Constantine's lifelong desire for a monastic life 'similar to that of angels', which he managed to fulfil only at the end of his life. We try to find the profile of his philosophy in the opposition between the philosophy of the temporal world (antic philosophy), knowledge of God that allows anabasis directing to God, and the philosophy of the heavenly world (bios angelikos, foolery for Christ, Hagia Sofia) that represents the cathabasis of Logos.

Among the peculiarities of John's Gospel belongs its poetic prologue. The present study deals first with the question of the relationship of these 18 verses to the rest of the gospel. Although the logos-christology that governs the hymn does not appear in other parts of John, there are important features of the hymn that make its close linking to the whole of the Fourth Gospel quite probable. One of them is the structure of the prologue that the study proposes as threefold, each part ending with a paradoxical assertion. These three parts of the hymn represent different perspectives of the way of Christ and correspond to the 'multilevel' christological accounts of the gospel. In its second part the study offers a detailed exegetical analysis of the prologue, explaining its metaphorical language with strong references to the Old Testament motifs of creation, exodus and wisdom. As a constant aspect the study follows the problem of translation and compares the decisions of seven Czech modern translations of the Bible, showing how the exegesis or its absence is reflected in them.

The article discusses a series of nine short essays by Władysław Stróżewski published at the beginning of the 70s in the “Znak” monthly. They all revolve around anthropological and axiological issues, and they all follow a similar framework: the author begins with a question or a problem, e.g., the choice of values, situational involvement, freedom and limitation, faith, despair and hope, and shows how through a dialectical search and inner transformations a new perspective opens up onto the Absolute. Similar themes can also be found in Stróżewski’s later works. Even the use of the dialectical method reappears in his book Dialektyka twórczości (Dialectics of Creativity). The questions of the meaning of reality, the logos, and faith all continually make their mark throughout his oeuvre. All these themes, together with those absent from “Suspended Thoughts”, i.e. art and beauty, reappear in the extensive interview published in 2017, Miłość i nicość (Love and Nothingness).
