The article opens with an exposition of the notion of solidarity as an interper-sonal link, in opposition to the conventional association of individuals. In the first instance, such solidarity characterizes the Eucharistic communion which embraces those who feed from the same Bread and Wine, and is not understood as a passive effect of the sacrament, but as moral virtue which springs up from the cooperation with Jesus the Redeemer. Secondly, solidarity assimilates the life of a man to that of his Saviour which is echoed with the words of St. Paul: “and yet I am alive; yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me” (Ga. 2, 20). And, thirdly, solidarity, which finds its basis in the Eucharist, can not expect its fulfilment in this earthly life of man, but only in reaching the glorious floor of heaven.

A large number of animal bones, mainly dogs’ remains, were identified among features at the settlement in Polwica 4, 5/Skrzypnik 8. It was established that they were deposited in various ways. The bones were recognized as remains of sacrifices. They has been often discovered in wells, which suggests the existence of a repeated ritual of filling in the wells. An attempt was made to describe these finds structurally.

People have different point of view about social – work. Some of them thought that is a normal work like other profession. But on the other hand some people thought that it is a special kind of work called, a challenge which sometimes called, sacrifice. As we see there are some different meanings of that category. Doctor Jasinski as a medical – man who works in a hospital understand quite well how important is such work for hospital patients. So no wonder that he support such work in any occasion . This paper gives many examples such kind of facts which say all about the force and sacrifice from hospital workers usually from social workers of Silesia hospitals. he has showed quite clear how important work is for whole medical staff. They can play a good example for panther profession any other branch of economy. It is a fine moral essay for everyone who works for another people.

The Polish version of the article was published in Roczniki Humanistyczne vol. 64, issue 1 (2016). The article is an attempt at an analysis of the usefulness of the concept of “bystander” that is becoming increasingly popular in social sciences, and in modern studies of the Shoah and the Holocaust. The author points to objective terminological dependencies, but she also takes into consideration the differences in the historical and cultural experience that require different perceptions of the role of witnesses in English language discourse and in the East European, and especially Polish, perspective.

This paper aims to share a story of Kenya narrated by Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o’s A Grain of Wheat and analyse its narrative in accordance with Ernest Renan’s article entitled “What is a Nation?” to reveal a part of its journey from their dependence on the British colonial rule to their independence. The whole novel is anchored in the collective memories of some of the Kenyans, describing what they have undergone so far under the British colonial rule and how they have gained their independence with the help of the Mau Mau freedom fighters who mostly sacrifice their own life for their nation’s peace and liberation. This collective memory helps them get together to remember their past and build their present for their future and at this point Thiong’o’s novel seems to echo Renan’s arguments focusing on the basics of the nation. As Renan states in the article, embracing the past memories, accepting all the stories of sacrifice and devotion as well as their own suffering, holding a common and strong will for the present and building the future by punishing the traitors as an example for the others who might think of betraying their togetherness and unity are all the requirements to be fulfilled to create a new nation and Thiong’o’ appears to apply each of them to be sure that they eventually have their own independent nation.

The paper discusses how the major plot elements of the Homeric Hymn to Hermes (inventing the lyre, stealing Apollo's cattle and especially slaughtering it) tie in together to instruct the (male) youth on their prospective roles as responsible, cultured family supporting adults, warriors and members in their community's cults. It thus highlights the educational and paedagogical aspects of the myths featured in the poem's narrative part.

The paper claims that in the online discussions on Facebook concerning veganism – a brand new social food habit in Western societies – one can observe the mixture of traditional moral and revolutionary arguments. The presence of almost-religious extremism impacts a veganism-related verbal and visual argumentation, and even violence against the vegans. From the technical point of view, in the discussions concerning the veganism the probability argument, the argument of going-beyond and the ad sacrificium argument prevail.

The article presents an analysis of the text of Mk 9,49-50 confronted with the parallel texts from Mt and Lk. The context of the metaphor related to salt in Mk makes it possible to trace the source of the metaphor in the Old Testament descriptions of sacrificial actions. The evangelist primarily emphasizes positive attributes of salt. Just as a small amount of salt can significantly improve the taste of food, so kindness and peace have a positive impact on the relationship in the community of the disciples of Jesus.

Simone Weil's ideas on affliction and sacrifice have been interpreted by some as though they are the product of psychological problems. I will approach her writings on necessity and affliction through G. M. Hopkins' little prose masterpiece. Later I will suggest that she may be profitably related to some French spiritual writers in the 17th Century, who develop a link between the necessity of offering sacrifice to God and the radical contingency of created existence.

Aim: The aim of the article is to recall the figure of Janusz Korczak, his life path, as well as his literary output. Particularly noteworthy is the dilemma he had to face in the final situation in which he – a writer, pedagogue, social activist, doctor – found himself in the German extermination camp in Treblinka on the day of his death on August 7, 1942. Methods: The comparative method was used in the article. Detailed content was articulated from the rich source material, showing the richness of Janusz Korczak’s thought and pedagogical practice. Results: As a result, the pedagogue was presented against the social and historical background of his period of life. The rich religious aspect of the pedagogue’s life, in which his extensive activities are enclosed, was also mentioned. Conclusions: The child, in terms of Korczak’s upbringing system, is a being the most important basis of whom is the right to be respected, and upbringing is a support for the child’s self-education. It is necessary to recall the figure of Janusz Korczak on a constant basis, just as Christian saints are remembered, and not without a particular reason. In both cases it is about a pattern. Also, the heroism, inherent in the pattern in both cases, is similar, if not identical. The child is constantly in mortal danger - perhaps no longer the gas chamber, but not less deadly distortions in preparation for life, in upbringing, and in the transmission of values.

HILLS OF CROSSES. THE GENESIS OF THE PHENOMENONHills of crosses are special sacral complexes. From several dozen to many thousand crosses are located there. These are not “hills” in the geological sense of the word. The Hills are not burial sites, and they are often situated near water where pagan sanctuaries, temples and altars used to be. Every pilgrim can place a cross there and ask God for help without intermediaries, and “feel the touch of God. «Hence, the cross becomes their sacrifi ce to God and the sign of their plea».

The paper focuses on the ideological shift after 1989 that determined the nature of the debates over the role of Ana, the female character of the Legend of Master Manole, and her sacrifice. Until 1989, her perspective was widely ignored because the canonical interpretation of the ballad emphasized the male perspective of Manole and his sacrifice for the act of creation. After 1989, the feminist discourse argued that the symbolic structures perpetuated by this myth were reinforced in Romania by the communist regime. The main aim of the article is thus to present how the newly formed feminist critique employed one of the canonical Romanian texts to show the functioning of the model of a self-sacrificing woman in the social imaginary.

The question addressed by this article regards the meaning of sacrifice within the framework of Jan Patočka’s philosophy. Is human sacrifice aimed at reinforcing an institution or state of things as in the case of the Unknown Soldier narrative, or is it rather – as Patočka maintained – an essentially destabilizing deed, which has the power to shatter people’s knowledge and existence? In order to answer this question, I contrast Patočka’s standpoint with those of Émile Durkheim and of the main representatives of the so-called “sacred sociology”: Roger Caillois, Georges Bataille and other members of the Collège de sociologie. In conclusion, I show how Patočka’s approach to the theme of sacrifice helps us to understand if, and how, a “proper sacrifice” can actually become an instrument of political dissent within human societies.

DE

Die vorliegende Studie befasst sich mit der Bedeutung des Opfers im Werk Jan Patočkas. Dient das Opfer der Festigung von Institutionen bzw. der Erhaltung des Status quo wie im Falle des Mythos vom Unbekannten Soldaten? Oder ist das Opfer, wie Patočka behauptet, eher eine durch und durch destabilisierende Tat, die die Macht hat, die menschliche Erkenntnis und Existenz selbst zu erschüttern? Zur Beantwortung dieser Fragen wird ein Vergleich des Ansatzes von Patočka mit den Interpretationen des Opferbegriffs bei Émile Durkheim und den Vertretern der sog. „heiligen Soziologie“ vorgelegt (z. B. Roger Cailloise, Georges Bataille und weiteren Vertretern der Collège de sociologie). Ziel dieser Studie ist es aufzuzeigen, auf welche Art und Weise Patočkas Opferbegriff, insbesondere der Tat des authentischen Opfers „im eigentlichen Sinne“, ein Werkzeug des politischen Widerstands in der Gesellschaft sein kann.

The aim of the article was to present three stories of women, who had died while sacrificing their lives to others. However, attention was paid not only to the victim himself, but to his readiness. The patriarch Abraham was undoubtedly the model of this attitude. Blessed Laura, St. Edyta and Bl. Sisters of Nazarene in their care for their loved ones, asked for prayer, so that they could suffer suffering for certain intentions without knowing how it would look. But when it came time to fulfill the promise, each confirmed it by act.

Błogosławiona Laura, Święta Edyta i Błogosławione Nazaretanki w trosce o swoich bliskich prosiły na modlitwie o to, aby mogły ponieść cierpienia w określonych intencjach, nie wiedząc, jak miałoby to wyglądać. Kiedy jednak przyszedł czas na wypełnienie obietnicy, wszystkie potwierdziły je czynem.

The writings of the emperor Julian (331–363) reveal an author who was familiar with Greek literature in all its forms, including fictional narratives. He defended Greek myths, such as the story of Attis and Cybele, from the attacks of Christian authors in his Hymn to the Mother of the Gods. He also composed a fictional narrative featuring his imperial predecessors in the satirical spirit of Lucian (Caesars), an allegorical autobiography (Against the Cynic Heraclius), and a sanitised version of the love of Antiochus for his mother-in-law Stratonice (Misopogon, 347A to 348A). This article discusses these short fictional narratives in the context of the polemical use of fiction in the ideological struggle between Julian and Christian writers in the fourth to sixth centuries of our era.

This article discusses the problem of gift from the perspective of philosophical personalism. Since there are different doctrines of gift, it first provides an overview of anthropological, sociological, philosophical, ethical, and religious approaches to the nature of gift. Then, it delineates the essential notes of the gift and its structure, and relates the gift to duties of justice. Finally, it shows that the gift constitutes an anthropological transcendental that helps us to better understand man and his supernatural dimension.

The long pontificate of John Paul II was a time for the Church to continue reflecting on the fundamental themes that constitute the identity of the community of Christ’s disciples. Among many subjects, the priesthood appears to be a special topic: on the one hand, through the pope himself and his pastoral activity, and on the other – through a series of documents devoted to the priesthood. This article will present the person of Christ as a priest since it is the starting point for reflection on the priesthood as such. In the mind of the Polish Pope, Christ is the only priest who connects His priesthood with the sacrifice on the cross. This sacrifice includes the perfection of mediation between God and people, and simultaneously, the completion of what Christ possesses eternally as the Son. Sonship, mediation and the priesthood are topics that should be considered together as they not only interpenetrate but also complement each other. Such a broad approach to the subject, however, is limited to the analysis of the Letters to priests for Maundy Thursday.

In Heart of Darkness, the protagonist Kurtz, of whom we do not, in fact, see much, is shown as connected with a native “sorcerer,” a “witch-man,” who had “antelope horns” on his head. Antelopes, or goats, are typical sacrificial animals, and the protagonist of this novella is a European who perishes in the midst of tropical forests, in spite of the high hopes that accompany his decision to try his luck in an exotic environment. Kurtz has promising beginnings, but later he gradually degenerates, carrying out what may be called a reversal of the ritual of initiation, comparable to the inverted ritual, to use V. Propp’s term, in folklore. In this sense, he may be regarded as a counterpoint to Conrad himself whose life can easily be described as a modern and uncommonly successful enactment of the same ritual. Meanwhile, Kurtz’s, and to a lesser extent also Marlow’s, failure as initiates is inscribed in the failure of the European civilization to construct a European empire in Africa.

Against Autoimmune Self-Sacrifice: Religiosity, Messianicity, and Violence in Derrida’s “Faith and Knowledge” and in Classical Rabbinic Judaism

In this essay, I argue that a comparison of Derrida’s “Faith and Knowledge” to the texts and thought of classical rabbinic Judaism can illuminate new conceptual connections among the different elements of Derrida’s thought. Both Derrida and the rabbinic texts can be viewed as affirming a type of “holding back” and “allowing the other to be,” stances which Derrida links to “religiosity” and to “messianicity beyond all messianism.” Moreover, the rabbinic texts appear to avoid the “autoimmune” reaction that Derrida sees as stemming from many sacrificial and self-sacrificial logics in which the self is problematically sacrificed in order to preserve the “unscathed” other. In addition, the rabbinic texts’ stance concerning divine authorization for war and capital punishment help to illuminate Derrida’s claim that the ostensibly “secular” wars of modern states are in fact better understood as “wars of religion.”
