This article aims to analyse and elucidate Nietzsche’s concept of decadence, which has often been mentioned in Nietzsche studies and thus feels familiar, but in fact has not been thoroughly analysed. As Nietzsche describes many phenomena in terms of decadence and the extension of the term may be seen as too broad, some would think we cannot construct one picture of decadence from Nietzsche’s various descriptions and consider that it is sufficient to say it has a general meaning of decline or decay. However, this article seeks to combine Nietzsche’s scattered remarks on decadence together into a coherent picture. I argue that the essence or the fundamental principle of decadence is the lack of self in the sense of the loss of the fundamental instinct as the centre within the person. Grasping this principle, we can understand how the various phenomena Nietzsche describe as a decadence belong together; furthermore, we can understand why Nietzsche sees Christians or Socrates, despite their struggle for improvement, as decadents.

The article indicates the psychological assumptions and consequences of John Paul II’s teaching on the redemptive meaning of human suffering. Within the frame- work of the clerical ideal of self-overcoming possible psychological results of the pope’s concept are discussed, namely: fear, guilt, low self-esteem, self-hatred. The article is trying to show that John Paul II’s idea of redemptive human suffering makes a conversion to Christianity very difficult. It is suggested that it also tends to justify any unjust or violent situations in life of societies and individuals by seeing them as a positive will of God.

This article presents the preaching of Bishop Edward Kisiel about the anthropological foundation of the Christian perfection. The Bishop shows man as an individual created in love for love, and thus exalted by God. He also emphasizes the fact of contamination of human nature, which manifests itself in the human inclination to evil. The man appears to be totally dependent on God in all things, so he is not able to overcome the ef ects of the original sin. Kisiel describes redemption as the most important event in human history. It is a gift and a task for mankind. The Bishop points to the need for cooperation with grace in pursuit of eternal life.

The importance of a rapprochement between theology and the arts is currently increasing. A Christological analysis of Jan Zahradnicek's poetry supports the relevance of authentic art for theology. The poet treats the theory of art in his essays and his results correspond remarkably with the conception of Sylva Fischerova, a contemporary theoretician of literature. Zahradnicek's poetry offers an abundance of christological titles and a number of approaches to the christocentrism of Jan Duns Scotus.
