The integral concept of pleasure seeks the answer to the question what various experiences of pleasure have in common. While contemporary philosophy partially capitulates before responding to this question, the integral and unifying concept of pleasure, ancient philosophers eagerly took up this thread and tried to elaborate on the essence of experience or the state of pleasure so as to be able to indicate its essential and inalienable element in various experiences. The aim of the paper is to present the three greatest concepts of pleasure in ancient philosophy: Platonic, Aristotelian and Epicurean. Although at the root of all three concepts is the same question and the same research problem to be solved (i.e. “what is pleasure in its essence”), the answers to this question were quite different. For Plato, pleasure is some kind of change in the soul or body (kinesis), he emphasized the nature of pleasure as a process. Aristotle, in turn, recognized pleasure not as a process, but as an activity, more precisely as a quality built on activity. The views of both philosophers can be considered “metaphysical”, i.e. they sought to answer the question about pleasure in terms of the nature and structure of this experience. Many scholars of ancient thought find inspiration for these concepts in ancient medical thought, especially the doctors of Hippocrates and Polybus of Kos. Similar influences are noted in the case of Epicurus’s concept of pleasure: although we would consider his concept as ethical rather than metaphysical, the relationship between Epicurean philosophy of pleasure and medicine is twofold. On the one hand, like Aristotle and Plato, he was influenced by the medical thought regarding the explanation of the nature of pleasure and pain, on the other hand, the influence of epicureanism, e.g. on medieval Arabic medical thought.

Sympozjon był przedmiotem dociekań wielu autorów. Plutarch w Zagadnieniach biesiadnych (Plut. Quaest. conv. I, 612d-e) podaje, że najbardziej sławni myśliciele mieli zapisywanie dysput przy stole za godne literackiego wysiłku i trudu. Do grona tych, którzy potrafili czerpać użytek z wątków sympozjalnych zaliczył Platona, Ksenofonta, Arystotelesa, Speuzypposa, Akademika Diona, Prytanisa, Hieronima, a co najważniejsze – Epikura. Kompozycja epikurejskiego Sympozjonu jest całkiem inna od dialogu platońskiego, co nie uszło uwadze już twórcy Uczty mędrców, czyli Atenajosowi. Przypuszczalnie różni się on niemało także od arystotelesowskiego Sympozjonu. Zauważalny brak zamiłowania do wina u hellenistycznego myśliciela przyczynił się nie tylko do propagowania nowej postawy wobec tego trunku, ale i do radykalnej zmiany samego gatunku biesiadnego.

The symposium has been the subject of research by many authors. Plutarch, in Quaestiones Convivales (Plut. Quaest. conv. I, 612d-e), states that the most famous thinkers considered it worthy of literary effort, to write down disputes at the table. He included Plato, Xenophon, Aristotle, Speusippus, Dion, Prytanis, Hieronymus and, most importantly, Epicurus among those who were able to make use of symposium threads. The composition of the Epicurean Symposium is quite different from the Platonic dialogue, which has not escaped the attention of the author of The Deipnosophists , Athenaeus. Presumably, it also differs quite a bit from Aristotle’s Symposium. The noticeable lack of passion for wine at the Hellenistic thinker contributed not only to the promotion of a new attitude towards this drink, but also to a radical change in the convivial genre itself.

Im Artikel untersuche ich den Stellenwert des Menschen in der Philosophie von Hryhorij Skoworoda. Ich vertrete die Ansicht, dass seine Überzeugungen einen interessanten Versuch bilden, den Stellenwert des Menschen in der Welt aufzuzeigen und den Sinn seiner Existenz zu definieren. Ich schildere diese Fragestellung in einer breiteren philosophischen Perspektive, ohne mich nur auf die Schriften von Skoworoda zu beziehen. Ich versuche auch zu zeigen, was der Gedanke von Skoworoda dem heutigen Mensch anbieten kann.

In this article I analyze who is a human being in Hryhorii Skovoroda’s philosophy. His anthropological views are an interesting attempt to show how to understand a position of men in the world and how to define a meaning of his existence. This issue are analyzed not only on base of  works of Skoworoda himself but also on base of the broader philosophical perspective. I also try to demonstrate what Skoworoda can propose to contemporary man.

W artykule analizuję, kim jest człowiek w filozofii Hryhorija Skoworody. Jego poglądy to interesująca próba pokazania miejsca człowieka w świecie oraz zdefiniowania, co jest sensem jego egzystencji. Opisuję to zagadnienie z szerszej perspektywy filozoficznej, a nie tylko opierając się na tekstach Skoworody. Próbuję też pokazać, co myśl Skoworody może zaoferować człowiekowi współczesnemu.

W tekście omawiam metateoretyczne uwarunkowania dla historii powstania i rozwoju pojęcia wolnej woli. Punktem wyjścia jest zagadnienie pojęcia spekulatywnego. Ponieważ wola jest pojęciem spekulatywnym, nie ma jednoznacznej definicji tego pojęcia. Dlatego też utrudnione jest badanie jego historii, ponieważ autorzy starożytni operowali różnymi teoriami chcenia i wolności, które nie zawsze były ze sobą kompatybilne. Następnie omawiam teorie chcenia i działania wybranych autorów, które miały istotny wpływ na późniejszy rozwój pojęcia woli. Rozpatruję pojęcie wyboru Platona, pojęcia życzenia i wyboru Arystotelesa, pojęcie przy­zwo­lenia stoików, teorię wolności Epikura, teorię wyboru Aleksandra z Afrodyzji, pojęcie woli Augustyna z Hippony i teorię woli Maksyma Wyznawcy.

In the text, I discuss the metatheoretical aspects of a history of the origins and development of the notion of free will. I begin with the notion of a speculative concept. Since the will is a speculative concept there is no unequivocal definition of this notion. For this reason the study of the history of this notion is particularly difficult, since ancient authors have operated on dif­ferent theories of willing and freedom, which were not always mutually compatible. Next, I dis­cuss the theories of willing and action of select authors, that had a significant influence on the later development of the theory of the will. I discuss the notion of choice in Plato, the notions of wish and choice in Aristotle, the notion of assent in the Stoics, the theory of freedom of Epicurus, the theory of choice of Alexander of Aphrodisias, the concept of will in Augustine of Hippo, and the theory of will in Maximus the Confessor.

In this article the Author proves existence of an intrinsic and inseparable connection between anthropology and ecclesiology. The necessity of the Church as a community of believers can be demonstrated not only by the will of God explicitly expressed in the Holy Scriptures, but also by an anthropological analyses of the very nature of man, who is a social being opened towards God and towards other human beings. In the first part of the article, referring to a long philosophical tradition dating back to pre-Christian times and ending in the modern era, the Author illustrates by many examples the social dimension of human nature deliberately ignoring the biblical data and the teaching of the Magisterium. In the second part, he shows how the Conciliar teaching on the human person based on the Revelation remains in harmony with philosophical, anthropological and scientific arguments depicting human person as a relational (social) being. In the third part of the article, the Author demonstrates the correlation of the Conciliar teaching on the Church as community with anthropological data. The necessity of the Church can be justified not only by the authority of God (Revelation), but also by reflecting on the man’s nature (anthropology). Individualistic conception of faith, to which the Second Vatican Council wanted to react by its ecclesiology of communion, not only does not correspond to the biblical teaching, but also runs counter to the rational thinking on the human person who, in the light of diff erent sciences, is a relational being.
