The article offers a reconstruction of the problem of love as a subject in sociology and the typology of contemporary approaches to it. The first part discusses the following themes: representation of love in classical sociology based on the works of Max Weber; its gradual exclusion from the list of legitimate sociological subjects and the reasons for its return into that sphere. The second part presents the typology of contemporary sociological understandings of love and reconstructs sociobiological theories of Pierre Bourdieu, Niklas Luhmann and Zygmunt Bauman.

The aim of this study is to compare the scripts of love and hate of the persons with the antisocial personality. The literature points to the antisocial persons present the incapacity for love and the ability to experience the violence, anger and hate. Such possibilities are determined by the specific schemas and scripts of this personality. There were examined 61 prisoners with the high antisocial tendencies, and 39 prisoners with low antisocial tendencies, and 100 men without the antisocial tendencies. The participants had to describe the situations presented at the photographs.The narrative discourse was analyzed concerning two situations: the love meeting and the quarrel. The comparisons of the scripts construction and content in each group were conducted. The results show the antisocial persons have more constructed script of hate than of love.

Ludwig Wittgenstein's and John L. Austin's studies have offered a new concept of language. Should one, in the light of 'The Philosophical Investigations and How to Do Things With Words', limit himself or herself exclusively to investigating the manner in which feelings are spoken about, whilst remaining tacit as to the very nature of feelings? Can love be talked about using the language of analytical philosophy? The author's quest is one for giving replies to those queries; to this particular end, declaration of love is made subject to detailed analysis from the standpoint of Wittgenstein's concept of linguistic games and Austin's speech act theory.

This paper deals with the problem of death and mortality of self. The author considers differences between the Western and Chinese culture regarding the attitude toward death. He contrasts European thought about death, especially that included in Mesopotamian, Greek and Hebrew mythology and Plato's, Theognis', Epicurus', Epictetus', Wittgenstein's, Marcel's or Heidegger's philosophy, with Taoist and Confucian ideas. From Western perspective death seems to make life senseless, whereas Chinese culture perceives mortality as an integral element of nature and life. The author's analysis of 'the uncertain certainty of my death and the unnecessary necessity of my life' leads him to a conclusion that because of existence of love 'death is meaningful and life is therefore worth living'.

The main aim of this article was to investigate the impact of love on cognitive processing. More specifically, we hypothesized that a) love provides a great sense of meaning in life, b) when love is present in his/her mind, the subject will reduce his/her motivation to retrieve memories unrelated to love. Study 1 (N = 160 students) provided evidence that autobiographical memory retrieval is negatively connected to the state of love - but only for those students who had not initially induced thoughts of love in themselves, when they retrieved a love episode. It also provided evidence of the greater emotional intensity associated with love memories, compared with other memories. In Study 2 (N = 146 students) we tested the impact of semantically induced love on cognitive processing. Results showed that reduced processing occurred when love was induced.

According to a clear testimony of the New Testament, love is the highest spiritual value (cf. 1 Cor 13:13). And this love cannot have its true quality without faith. However, Th. R. Nevin in his book Therese of Lisieux: God's Gentle Warrior insists that this youngest Doctor of the Church had love although she lost faith and hope. The main part of this article deals with Nevin's arguments and shows that his assertion is baseless not only from the theological, but also from the historical point of view. Therese's words 'I don't believe in eternal life' (attested only once) cannot mean (similarly, as much stronger and repeated complaints of Mother Teresa of Calcutta a lack of faith, and in no way do they overshadow nor even invalidate her steadfast faith and hope, which were necessarily present in her love.

The author investigates whether empathy constitutes the main dimension of the representation of love. The participants were acquainted with two tales telling of the beginning of a love story. The experimental group integrates discursive marks showing the empathic ability of the speaker towards his/her partner. No such marks of empathic ability existed in the control group. The participants assess the more or less prototypic nature of love in these two stories. The results show that a story is acknowledged as being more representative of love when the speaker is empathic than when he is not; but also that a dimension of inter-sex rivalry may modify this process: when the impression of intenseness of love expressed by the story decreases, empathy is only perceived positively when it testifies to the mastery of the relationship by someone of the same sex as the participant.

The author shows educating a man as a work of love. What he means is formation of the humanity by God who loves each man, and the cooperation of teachers and pedagogues in this work. He bases his argument on analysis of Pope John Paul II and Benedict XVI's thought, and he clearly indicates education as a special form of evangelization, in which the teacher and the pedagogue's role is to bring the pupil to Christ and to emerge him in His love, which requires a living faith on the part of the educator. Being faithful he looks at the pupil with Christ's eyes and notices a lot more than can be seen on the outside. The article consists of four parts. In the first one the author presents basic elements of the Christian message on education. In the second part he points to the harmful mechanisms of the Polish schooling system. In the third part he develops the basic elements of his interpretation of education understood as forming humanity by God's love and he defines man's contribution to this work. The whole is concluded by suggestions for a modern educator.

Miłość erotyczna w kilku rosyjskojęzycznych utworach Vladimira Nabokova. Nabokov i Władimir Sołowjow

Vladimir Nabokov’s Lolita, as well as his Ada, are considered classics of erotic fiction. Nevertheless, he does not glorify carnal love and sexual freedom. His attitude towards love seems to be similar to that of the Russian religious philosopher Vladimir Solovyov, who considers erotic love as the highest kind of love. However, Solovyov sees its meaning not simply in the act of sexual intercourse, but rather in the justification and salvation of an individual through the sacrifice of their egoism. In Mary (Mashenka), his first novel, Nabokov describes first love as remembered by his main character, now a Russian émigré in Berlin. Love reconstructed through memories is, in a way, a platonic one. The process of remembering makes the hero happy. Before this process began, we had seen him in a state of depression and inertia into which he was plunged by a sexually fulfilling love affair with another woman. At the end of the novel the hero realizes that it is senseless to meet the real girl from his memories when she comes to Berlin. The whole beauty of his love is its memory. Love for a dead person is devoid of the carnal element. We can see such love in Nabokov’s short story The Return of Chorb (Vozvrashchenie Chorba). A young Russian émigré marries a girl who dies during the honeymoon. To make her image immortal and replace her forever, the hero decides to pass in reverse order through all the places they had visited during their journey back to the hotel where they had spent their wedding night. It resembles the ancient legend of Orpheus and Eurydice. Chorb might be seen as an Orpheus who has succeeded. Vladimir Solovyov’s poem Tri podviga (Three Fulfillments) shows an Orpheus to whom Eurydice has been given back. It is possible that the poem is a subtext of Nabokov’s story. The novel Invitation to a Beheading is full of gnostic motives (gnostic ideas, it should be reminded, also influenced Solovyov). Love for his unfaithful wife and vague hopes connected with his jailer’s erotically charged daughter bind the hero to the jail of his awful totalitarian world as well as to the jail of the flesh (gnostic topoi). The last of Nabokov’s Russian works, the poem Vliublionnost' (Being in Love), which appears in his English-language novel, Look at the Harlequins!, suggests that a state of being in love slightly opens the door to the hereafter. According to Nabokov’s statements, art also connects us to the transcendental realm. Not only Nabokov, but Solovyov as well, think that both art and the state of being in love bring us closer to a better reality.

The article is a resumé of the author’s doctoral thesis. It is an attempt (worked out in the order of discovery) to describe the gift of self (which Wojtyła identifies with love) by means of the previously developed category of the gift of something (rediscovered by Mauss) and the qualities of gift giving (selflessness, definiteness, reciprocity, joy, and gratitude linked with grace), as well as taking into account the intermediary category of gift from self (identified with service and ending with hospitality). The paper outlines the background of contemporary discussions on the gift, stressing the importance of the difference between dare and donare, discussing the modern trends that idealize the gift – involving anonymity, iconicity, ignorance, and non-reciprocity, all of which make the gift de facto impossible (Derrida, Lévinas, Marion) – and it also opens up some sociological and theological perspectives using an analogical conception of the gift.

K BÁSNICKÉMU KONCEPTU A VARIANTOM POHLAVNEJ LÁSKY VO VAJANSKÉHO VERŠOVANOM ROMÁNE DUŠINSKÝ

Vajanský´s poetic concept titled Vít was created in 1878, while some of the parts came out in the late 1870s in the Národnie noviny and Orol. As a book with the title Dušinský it was only published as late as 1909 in Sobrané diela, volume 6. The astute observation made by I. Kusý (1987) about anticipating his debut collection does not need editing, neither the emphasis of his ideological and formal innovations in poetry. In comparison with the composition titled Maják (1879), where Vajanský applied the romantic or postromantic attitude to reality, Dušinský refers to the realist and critical face of the poet. By depicting the petite bourgeoisie environment with its readily observed characters, by applying reflexiveness, fragmentariness, lyric elements, conversational style etc., i.e. a new „non-prosaic“ rendition, the narrative and reflexive genre is made by the poet more modern and dynamic. The evolutionary stimulation accompanies the rise of the realist aesthetic structure with its typical attempts at critical probes into the reality of those times. Unlike the previous critical reflection of this literary work focusing on the writer´s share of the evolutionary progress in Slovak poetry and non/confirmation of Vajanský as a receptive poet, this paper pays special attention to the characteristics of the poetic concept with the accent placed on the analysis of the variants of sexual love. There is no need to question Kusý´s designation of the work as a „novel of love“, perhaps just to make it more accurate – the „intended“ novel of love. Everything else – i.e. the national or social issues of those times – is only the period background. Despite the fact that art wise Vajanský attempts to offer a wide variety of characters based on life experience, when thematizing sexual love he remains constrained by the contemporary social taboos as well as his own ones. The source of this „monochromatic“ attitude is the writer´s as well as the community awareness which affects the way the characters are shaped. What Vajanský did in Dušinský again is to only bet on love in the form of one-sided affection – platonic, leaning towards the Wertheresque type – lacking any contact with the vital force of Eros, by which he established a strict border between soul and body. Thus in an artistically unproductive way he simplifies things and he makes the characters seem inanimate, apathetic or even schizoid. Even though the writer managed to be in an activating contact with the reader, nowadays Dušinský could hardly be expected to get significant reception. However, due to the gaps in literary scientific reflection and orientation towards new analytical and interpretative reading, this important piece of the literary corpus of Slovak epic poetry presented an exciting challenge.

This article analyses and compares the doctrines of love and beauty in the relevant works of Plotinus and Ficino, focusing on their allegorical use of the mythology of Aphrodite/Venus and Eros/Amor in their treatises On Love. As a translator and commentator of the collected works of his admired predecessors, Plato and Plotinus, Ficino did not hesitate to slightly bend, or even circumvent, some of their doctrines in his quest for the unification of the Platonic philosophy. Analysing the relevant passages from the Enneads, this article will demonstrate how Plotinus’ emanation theory, as well as his doctrines of love and intelligible beauty, have influenced Ficino’s interpretation of Plato’s doctrine of love, as well as his own exegesis of God’s love and creation.

The main aim of this study is to point out the specific relationship between Alcibiades and Socratesʼ educational art in Platoʼs dialogues (especially Alcibiades I. and Symposium) and in Aeschinesʼ fragments. The contribution postulates the hypothesis that an essential precondition for Socratesʼ education to the virtue (to the aretê) is an erotic reciprocity, which manifests itself through the sight (opsis) from the eyes to the eyes of erastês and erômenos. For this reason, we are trying to answer the question: How is Socrates the philosopher educated by arrogant Alcibiades?

The aim of the article is to approach the proximity of Jean-Luc Marion´s phenomenology to mysticism. Marion´s transcendence to mysticism can be seen in two directions: in the interpretation of Dionysius the Areopagite´s work, and in the understanding of saturated phenomena. Marion claims that Dionysius the Aeropagite indicates a new pragmatic function of language, targeting God who overcomes all the names. The discourse of hymn and praise of God does not lie in predicting attributes. I tis not a masked prediction, but it is outside the dual framework of true and false. Marion also believes that man, as an image of God, is not equal to his icon. His reflections can be understood and interpreted in such a way that two incomprehensible and loving beings come together in the encounter of God and man. Here we can see the first condition, assumption and the very possibility of mysticism as such. The intersections of phenomenology and literature are obvious, but phenomenology still remains both an invitations and a challenge for literary theory.

The aim of the study is to point out the ethical, moral foundation of Smrek's artistic philosophy, his concept of love and erotic in the context with his poetic composition Basnik a zena (The Poet and the Woman). The poetic composition Basnik a zena (The Poet and the Woman) was published in 1934. It was ten years later than the first four chapters of it were published in the magazine. That is why we characterize his publication as a newly reworked edition. In the centre of Smrek's composition there is a relationship between the poet and the woman. From another point of view this relationship can represent the poetry and the love. Both of the topics belong to the key themes, the core for Smrek's philosophical concept as the whole. Smrek's concept of love as a humanizing power refers directly to troubadours' poetry and develops some noetic and aesthetic toposes of medieval courtesy. In the mentioned context we can understand Smrek's ambivalence between sensuality and courtesy, between physical desire and spiritual astonishing, between eros and ethos. This love paradox in both the troubadours' and Smrek's poetry has its function and form of secular spirituality. Smrek's concept of love is inseparably connected with moral regulations; the character of Smrek's erotic is in fact ethical. Smrek in the poetic composition Basnik a zena (The Poet and the Woman) formulates ideological foundations for his poetry and his artistic and poetic philosophy. The contribution of the study becomes evident also due to the fact, that the composition Basnik a zena (The Poet and the Woman) has not be analysed in details in the literary research, yet. For the following research it is crucial to consider what we depicted in the study - mainly the Smrek's concept of love and its affinities in the medieval troubadours' poetry and the humanistic meaning of it.

In this article the author makes an attempt at presenting St. Augustine’s ethical thoughts. Because St. Augustine did not write exclusively ethical works and in the same works he wrote about ethics and metaphysics, philosophy and theology, these considerations are based on several different writings of his. However, one of them, Contra Academicos, is used as some kind of a milestone. In this article the author presents St. Augustine’s thoughts about happiness, truth and virtues. But most importantly she recognizes St. Augustine’s definition of virtue in connection with love.

FROM PESSIMISM TO HOPE. LOVE IN ARTHUR SCHOPENHAUER AND SIGMUND FREUD'S GRASP

The article presents two grasps of love - in Schopenhauer's pessimistic philosophy and Freud's psychoanalysis. A similarity between Schopenhauer's metaphysics and Freud's psychoanalysis is shown. Schopenhauer's 'will' and Freud's 'id' are almost the same, though grasped in two different manners. Just like 'id', ' will' becomes the source of misfortune, and culture with its ethical values (particularly love) can become remedy for evil and suffering. Separating 'eros' from 'agape', Schopenhauer placed sexual love as a handmaid to 'will' and considered it the source of human suffering. In this understanding, love of one's neighbor becomes liberation from suffering, but it is a seeming consolation, as such love is in fact a concealed egoism. Introducing the notion of sublimation, Freud made a passage between 'eros' and 'agape'. Love, wherever its source, in Freud's grasp assures security and thus gives happiness which is the final purpose of everyone.

The article considers the issue of dialogue in the development of the spiritual life of spouses. Its starting point is the fact of the creation of man in the image of God, whose life is the dialogue of love between the Father and the Son in the Holy Spirit. Man realizes this image through a life lived in dialogue. This takes place in the fullest manner in matrimonial life. Next we have presented matrimony as a union of two people based upon a dialogue of love. This dialogue of love reflecting the relation between the Persons of the Holy Trinity and the dialogue of love of Christ-Bridegroom with the Church, His Spouse, is one of the foundations on the path of the development of spiritual life in matrimony and family.

This article addresses the ongoing debate on the meaning and scope of Nietzsche’s formula for human greatness: “amor fati”. Identifying and exploring the constituents of “amor fati”, the article reconstructs the intellectual genesis of the philosophical concept in Nietzsche’s writings and substantiates, through textual, chronological, and conceptual analysis, the pivotal meaning of these constituents (fate, love, and the judging activity of the body). This article provides insight into how “amor fati” functions as a transformative mind-set, denoting a learning process between individuals and the world they inhabit, thereby allowing individuals to foster the highest form of interaction between their inner and outer environment.
