Nowadays an intensive debate is under way over the issue of religion. The discussion is carried on without making precise what is 'religious' and without giving a definition of religion. The weakening of religious traditions during the process of the progressive individualization and privatization of religion, the great popularity of different kinds of spirituality, and the resulting indefiniteness of what is considered to be religious all show the difficulty of defining and understanding religion in various scientific disciplines. In this situation one is eager to reach for Rudolf Otto's notion of what is essentially religious, still considered by many disciplines as a 'classic' definition of religion. The aim of this article is not only to present the possibilities, difficulties and failures of Otto's concept of religion presented in Das Heilige, but also to undertake a discussion concerning the content, boundaries, and specificity of what is religious. The main areas of analysis include: emotional aspects (specifically religious feelings), cognitive aspects (notions, creeds, beliefs), harmony of contrasts of mysterium tremendum et fascinans as a model of religious experience, and the role of social factors in practicing faith.

[The phenomenon of sport, especially its popularity and significance, strongly marks the contemporary world. This text is an attempt to describe sports experience (especially football) as a value for a fan experiencing it. It is not an analysis of sport in the philosophical perspective usually concentrating on its ethical or anthropological aspects. That is why the author analyses here, among other things, its identity, aesthetic and egalitarian character, touching upon such important phenomena as patriotic feelings in the context of sport, its media dimension or the problems with stadium hooligans. Finally, to emphasize the research problem outlined in this way, the author discusses the thesis of striking similarities between sports experience and religious experience formulated repeatedly in the present debate over contemporary forms of global secularization.]

The term “religious thinking” denotes not only religious way of interpreting the world – as contrasted with agnostic or atheistic explanation – but also it is usually used as collective name for religious attitude. The aim of this article is to outline interdisciplinary, though free of scientific jargon, image of religiosity, through individualizing in it several motives in which it clearly comes into prominence. This allows to encompass religiosity more comprehensively and adequately than through reducing it to one strand or need. At the same time this article is an outline of theoretical conceptualization of religiosity, which, although based on systematic empirical investigations, is to depict interrelated parts of a whole that certainly constitutes religiosity in an individual’s life.
