The main purpose of this essay is a systematic presentation of the concept of religious experience and cognition in Jan Andrzej Kłoczowski’s philosophy of religion. The starting point is a definition of religion not only as a system of beliefs but also as an event, as a domain of reli-gious experience and practice. A religious experience in Kłoczowski’s account has no punctual characteristic but it is, in fact, a hermeneutical experience. It is a permanent dialogue with the tradition of a given religion and culture. Someone experienced is the person with a rich experience. Religious experience has both a subjective and an objective side. The subjective aspect is an innate question concerning the meaning and value of human existence. The objec-tive side includes the experience of a symbol, which refers to the transcendent reality, in which it has already been participating. The precondition of religious knowledge is previous participation in the religious order of the world and the religious values of society. The basic rule of religious epistemology is a claim that participation is ahead of cognition. In religious practice it has been carried out by initiation. In Aquinas’ thought the cognition of God is an act of grace given by the Holy Spirit as a gift of wisdom and a result of previously demon-strated act of faith, bond and love.

Paul Tillich was one of those important theologians of the 20th century who devoted much attention to issues related to theological theory of knowledge. In Tillich’s thought, God is the mystery of being infinitely close to man, but human cognition of this mystery is always mediated. This article analyzes the question of mediation in human cognition of God in the thought of the great protestant theologian. First, the mediating, symbolic character of all religious language is presented. Then the mediating nature of theology is analyzed. The third part presents the importance of mediation in human cognition of ultimate reality. The conducted research leads to the conclusion that, according to Tillich, there is no other way of thinking and talking about God than mediated in the created world. God ultimately remains a mystery that is revealed to us through the reality that surrounds us.

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest ukazanie, w jaki sposób św. Bonawentura z Bagnoregio próbował wyjaśnić intuicję mistyczną św. Franciszka z Asyżu. Bonawentura, jako profesor Uniwersytetu Paryskiego, zastosował do wyjaśnienia mistycznej intuicji św. Franciszka następujące teorie: teorię egzemplaryzmu, teorię zmysłów duchowych oraz swoją własną teorię tzw. kontuicji. Po zaprezentowaniu bonawenturiańskiej koncepcji kontuicji podane zostały wybrane współczesne interpretacje tejże teorii kontuicji, by następnie podać: ocenę kontuicji w świetle współczesnej filozofii poznania w nauczaniu wybranych autorów. Bonawenturiańska kontuicja jest dzisiaj niedocenianym zagadnieniem poznawczym w zakresie teorii poznania Boga.

This article aims to present how Saint Bonaventure of Bagnoregio approached the mystical intuition of Saint Francis of Assisi. As a professor of the University of Paris, in order to explain the mystical intuition of Saint Francis, Bonaventure used the following theories: the exemplarism theory, the theory of spiritual senses, and his own theory of contuition. The article outlines Bonaventure’s concept of contuition as well as chosen contemporary interpretations of the theory, and then proceeds to evaluate contuition in the light of contemporary philosophy of cognition in the teachings of selected authors. Bonaventure’s contuition is a much underrated concept in the cognition of God theory.
