Abstracts

EN

The purpose of this paper is to emphasize the specificity of self-knowledge in Fr. Dumitru Stăniloae thinking. The author present briefly two different ways of approaching the topic apart the theological one. The first one is from the field of neuroscience and the other one from linguistics. Both reveal the creative gnoseology of Fr. Dumitru Stăniloae in which the mystery of self-knowledge is related with the mystery of God and with the mystery of human existence.

Celem artykułu jest podkreślenie specyfiki samowiedzy w refleksji ks. Dumitru Stăniloae. Autor krótko przedstawia dwa różne sposoby, poza sposobem teologicznym, podejścia do zagadnienia - pierwszy wywodzi się z obszaru neurobiologii, a drugi z lingwistyki. Oba ukazują kreatywną gnozeologię ks. Dumitru Stăniloae, w której tajemnica samowiedzy jest związana z tajemnicą Boga i z tajemnicą egzystencji ludzkiej.
