As a consequence of being an Algerian leader in the struggle of the independence movement and anti-colonial war against France during the 19th century, Emir Abd el-Kader spent 5 years in a French prison. Later he visited Paris and other European cities on other occasions as well. These events in el-Kader’s life were excellent opportunities to become well acquainted with Western civilization. His work: Call to the Intelligent, Warning to the Indifferent. Philosophical, religious, historical and related considerations (Paris 1858) can be described not only as a philosophical work but also as a tactful worldview discussion and a well-balanced, though a little covert, critique of the modern civilization and Western Culture. Despite his enthusiasm for Western culture and its intellectual trends of the time, the Arab thinker saw the profound flaws in the modern, Cartesian rationalism. Being a true adherent to the Eastern beliefs of reason and religion as inseparable entities, el-Kader advocated their alliance also in the field of science. He regarded religion and science as complementary domains. He also reproached European scholars for the rejection of tradition as a source of truth, which he perceived as a mistake. During the time of colonial politics, which was based on political and religious confrontation, el-Kader wrote about the essential unity of all religions and a need for consensus between people of all creeds around uniform values. Abd el-Kader’s work remains to this day an interesting testimony of the 19th-century Europe’s reception by a true Eastern thinker coming from the world of Islam.

Filozofia od wieków towarzyszyła człowiekowi jako droga wiodąca ku odkrywaniu mądrości. W objawieniu chrześcijańskim człowiek otrzymał od Boga w osobie Jezusa Chrystusa odpowiedź na fundamentalne pytania, przed jakimi staje. Niniejszy artykuł nakreśla zadania, które w świetle encykliki Fides et ratio stoją przed filozofią w jej służebnej roli wobec teologii. Za pomocą pojęć i definicji zaczerpniętych z pism filozofów możliwe jest właściwe objaśnianie treści wiary, jej przybliżanie, pod warunkiem że stać ona będzie na gruncie realizmu i obiektywizmu. Współczesny kryzys tożsamości człowieka związany jest z porzuceniem dziedzictwa myśli klasycznej, na których zbudowana była klasyczna filozofia. Tym, co charakteryzuje dzisiejszą mentalność, jest filozofia nihilizmu, relatywizmu i pragmatyzmu, które nie są w stanie ukazać człowiekowi prawdziwego obrazu rzeczywistości.

Philosophy has always accompanied a human being as the way leading to discover wisdom. The Christian Revelation given by God in the person of Jesus Christ answers to the fundamental questions. The article states new tasks which, according to the encyclical Fides et ratio, stay in its serving role regarding theology. The definitions and concepts mentioned in philosopher’s writings enable us to explain the content of the faith as far as it is supported by realism and objectivity. The modern crisis of identity of a human being is connected with the abandonment of legacy of a classical idea that classical philosophy was based on. Nihilism, philosophy of relativism and pragmatism are characteristic features of present mentality but they cannot show the real sense of actuality to a man.
