Joining the university context in the middle of the 19th century, Philology served as a comprehensive basis for what nowadays is meant by literary and linguistic studies. Depending on the specialization tendency that would settle down in the academic context (with regard to either the formative offer or the foundation of various research fields), each of these areas followed separate or even divergent paths, losing, to a great extent, the contact with its initial basis. Despite this state of affairs, Philology has displayed a strong capacity of resistance, maintaining its traditional dimension active or going through metamorphoses that resulted from the incorporation of new technologies, as well as from the epistemological adjustment that enabled it to overcome its first positivist stages. Trying to find a new place inside the general framework of Social Sciences and Humanities, literary studies need to recover its order and credibility, two factors that the new face of Philology can inspire. The present study aims at reconstructing the most recent trajectory undergone by this field of research and education, by identifying a space of reconnection that already seems to be adequate and beneficial.

Irenaeus, Coleridge and Gadamer all wrote about religion in distinct historical periods, however the work that each produced reflects the anthropological condition of the middle position. Furthermore, each thinker provides an opportunity for self-reflection about the motivations of faith without requiring the individual to abandon their religious belief in order to do so. In this manner they present a productive alternative to the required external views of the social sciences. The individual's position in mid-creation, his moral freedom and his historical contingence all require the acceptance, commitment and trust of faith. Gnosticism, Empiricist thought and the desire to overcome historical contingency all reveal intellectual impatience in riposte to this condition. This intellectual impatience seeks the absolute without the need for faith. For Irenaeus, Coleridge and Gadamer such absolute, logocentric, complete systems end up alienating man from the reality of the incomplete condition that permeates his existence and the faith-requiring mythos that ultimate realities necessitate in order to be communicated.

Identity Traps in Witkacy’s Dramas

That ‘crisis of identity’ is one of the central problems addressed by the dramas of Witkacy is primarily linked in the mind of critics to the tradition of modernism. In this contribution I would like to suggest a change of viewpoint, and to present this problem rather from the point of view of contemporary discourse concerning identity. The problems that Witkacy’s characters have with their own existence are in accord, not only with today’s quite common conviction that individuals can experiment with their own sense of identity with relative freedom but also with the concepts of the individual ego, derived from the realms of the Social Sciences.

Social sciences such as psychology, sociology, and political science are in strict relation to philosophy. There is a diversity of ontologies and epistemologies in social sciences. The article first analyses philosophical approaches in psychology, sociology, and political science. Approaches discuss in psychology are: behaviorism, psychoanalysis, humanistic psychology. Approaches discuss in sociology are: functional theory, evolutionary theory, conflict theory, exchange theory, interactionist and phenomenological theory, structuralist theory, critical theory. Approaches discuss in political science are: behaviouralism, rational choice, institutionalism, feminism, interpretative theory, Marxism, normative theory. Then the article discusses personalistic approach in political science that is typical for scientists from the Institute of Political Science and Public Administration of Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski University. This approach focuses on anthropology of human dignity. Next the article analyses a Thomistic approach which is new in political science. This approach can be developed in two directions: from political science to Thomism or from Thomism to political science. The former way corrects analysis in personalistic political science using Thomistic approach. The latter starts from Thomism and consistently builds political science with Thomistic approach. In conclusions the article is in favor of a dialog between consistent Thomism philosophers and personalist political scientists.
