Physicians have the duty to relieve pain. In this article we search both for definitions of pain and suffering, chronical diseases and disabilities and the meaning of such. Like “cancer” the term “disability” often is associated with defects and suffering and considered ab-normal. What causes suffering and pain is not so much the impairment or disability itself but rather the experience of discrimination. People with disabilities expect that their dignity be respected and that they be treated with equality. Suffering and pain should be a motive for changing one’s way of thinking. Euthanasia, however, is not the answer to extreme pain. Pastoral care, but also Viktor Frankl and his logo-therapy, help us understand the process of coping with pain, suffering and disabilities and find meaning to it. Theodicy, the ever-unanswered question to “why”, is of no help. The result of our investigation is that there is no right to non-suffering but a right to solidarity in support by society. Psalm 90,12 (“So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom”) reminds us of the fragility and finite nature of life and helps us accept this condition of human life.

The aim of this paper is to present main strands of the John Hick's response to the problem of evil. The author starts with contrasting the rudiments of the traditional theodicy (of St. Augustine and Leibniz) with the essential ideas of St. Irenaeus, by whom John Hick's thought was mainly inspired. Then he compares such components of Hick's theodicy as epistemological distance, soul-making process and universal salvation with some thoughts of non-analytical philosophers as Franz Rosenzweig, Józef Tischner, or Viktor E. Frankl. He also analyses main objections to irenaean type of theodicy raised on the ground of contemporary analytical philosophy of religion. Finally, the author considers Hick's view to be one of the most interesting approaches to the problem of horrendous evil in the history of theodicy.

THEEODICY AS THE 'FIRST PHILOSOPHY' IN RECENTIVISM (Taceodycea jako 'filozofia pierwsza' w recentywizmie)

The paper presents the issue of taceodicy which occurs in Józef Banka's philosophical system. Although in recentivism there is obviously taceodicy concerning the Absolute, there is also the one containing human-Absolute relation. The latter has more substance because along with a human being appear relations and, among others, thinking about the Absolute. The Absolute: Józef Banka refers to the birth and decline of human life. That is the 'subject' of pure experience. Metaphysics of silence constitutes the 'first philosophy' in recentivism. Considerations contained therein concern what is constitutive, primary, and final - the Absolute as Megalesige and Thanatosige. It is based on axioms of recentivism whose arche is recens. Human being is recens. Not only is he referred to the Absolute, he is also the Absolute himself. Just as in Plotinus' conception the One does not need anything else for its existence, in Józef Banka's conception the Absolute is Kantian thing in itself.

Premises and Main Claims of Theodicy by Bernard Bolzano

The article presents the main logical and metaphysical assumptions of Bolzano's theodicy. The conception of truths in themselves is understood as a logical assumption of Bolzano's proposal, and the conception of substance is the metaphysical assumption of the theodicy in question. The world, according to Bolzano, is causally determined and it is also logically determined to the effect that the world is a model of a system of truths in themselves. Truths in themselves are independent of God (the nature of relation between God and truth is explained in the article), and hence God is not responsible for evil in the world.

Molinizm a problem zła moralnego

One of the best known solutions to the problem of evil is the free will theodicy. The aim of Molinism is to reconcile the libertarian notion of free will and the traditional idea of Divine Providence. But Molinism is based on the assumption that God has a middle knowledge, i.e. He knows the truth value of counterfactuals of creaturely freedom. The possibility of such knowledge has been called into question by contemporary critics of Molinism. The problem is that without middle knowledge, the Molinist account of Providence and the free will theodicy is impossible. My claim is that even if it is taken for granted that middle knowledge is possible, a Molinist needs more than simple free will theodicy to solve the problem of evil.

In the paper there are introduced two kinds of quantifiers, each of which includes different scope of the changeability of variables. The matter is expounded in two parts: first, it is described a language with the double quantification, second, a formalized theory of the Absolute is constructed. Using philosophical inspirations of St. Thomas Aquinas and Leibniz the aim of the discourse is to determine logical and ontological grounds for the acceptance of the fact of the existence and the uniqueness of the Absolute.
