The World of Anglo-Saxon Learning

2007

D uring the Anglo-Saxon period, English schools were among the finest in Europe. From English schools came the great masters whose writings instructed generations, centuries even, of Insular and continental students alike: one has only to think of the works of Aldhelm, Bede and Alcuin, which were copied and studied intensively up to the twelfth century and beyond. This achievement is all the more remarkable when one considers that the Anglo-Saxons were among the first peoples in Europe who were obliged to learn Latin as a foreign language if Christianity - a religion of the book par excellence - was to flourish. Throughout the Anglo-Saxon period, English schools benefited from the instructi…

Kościół dla wybranych? O specyfice indyjskich chrześcijan knānāya

2015

Nazwą knānāya (także „południowcy”) określa się jedno z ramion indyjskiego chrześcijaństwa, którego członkowie doszukują się swojej genezy w starożytnej emigracji perskich chrześcijan, przybyłych do Indii pod przewodnictwem kupca Tomasza z Kany. Charakterystyczną cechą tej grupy jest silne przywiązanie do tradycji i bezwarunkowa ochrona tożsamości łączącej współczesnych „południowców” z ich przodkami. Sam fakt głębokiego przywiązania do tradycji i w konsekwencji jej silna ochrona nie powinien dziwić, wszak jest to jedno z podstawowych praw każdej wspólnoty i każdego człowieka. Jednakże knanaici, chcąc zachować „czystość krwi”, zupełnie nie dopuszczają do siebie niczego i nikogo z zewnątrz. …

Actualidad de la filosofía In-sistencial: el personalismo comunitario In-sistencial de Ismael Quiles SJ

2016

This text presents the proposal of In-sistencial philosophy developed by Ismael Quiles, analyzing various aspects. The first is to place Quiles in the philosophical and historical context, analyzing his intellectual formation in Spain and in his exile in Argentina, seeing the stages of his thought. Secondly, I see Quiles relations with existentialism of Heidegger, Sartre and Gabriel Marcel. Third, I try to justify that his thinking belongs to the current communitarian personalism, but not shed Buber’s Jewish orientation, but Christian. Lastly argue that despite his adherence to Christianity, we can not consider him just as a Christian philosopher, but as a philosopher who, influenced by Eas…

The Conditions of Philosophy in Totalitarian and Post-Totalitarian Poland

This compound paper presents the views of two Polish philosophers on the strong international pressures influencing the development of Polish philosophy in recent times.

Self-care and total care: the twofold return of care in twentieth-century thought

2020

The paper studies two fundamentally different forms in which the concept of care makes its comeback in twentieth-century thought. We make use of a distinction made by Peter Sloterdijk, who argues that the ancient and medieval ‘ascetic’ ideal of self-enhancement through practice has re-emerged in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, particularly in the form of a rehabilitation of the Hellenistic notion of self-care (epimeleia heautou) in Michel Foucault’s late ethics. Sloterdijk contrasts this return of self-care with Martin Heidegger’s concept of being-in-the-world as ‘total care’ (Sorge), an utterly ‘secularized’ understanding of the human being as irreducibly world-embedded that reject…
