The Appearances of the Mother of God as a Factor of Revival of the Catholic Society in Europe of the XX - the Beginning of the XXI Century Явления Бо…
2009
Apparitions of the Divine as some sort of manifestation of the Sacred are rather interesting for phenomenology of religion. Such apparitions of the Mother of God as those taking place in Europe of the 20th and of the beginning of the 21st century are typical just for the Christian West. All the apparitions being a call for penance can be qualified as the apocalyptic ones for those are concerned with the prophecies about the future of Europe and of the world on the whole. Why apparitions of the Mother of God deal with the global issues only in the West? Why their symbolism is extraneous for Eastern Christians? The clue is the antithesis of the East and the West which in the process of phenom…
Implementation of principles of Christianity: prerequisite of emergence of modern science and society
In the article the Christianity as essential prerequisite of emergence and development for European civilization is considered, that led to emergence of modern science and society. In its turn, development of Christianity with respect to the impact of Hellenic culture on it is considered. We come to conclusions that Christian faith is not so much controversal with scientific argument. Rakstā kristietība aplūkota kā eiropeiskās civilizācijas rašanās un attīstības būtisks nosacījums, kas noved pie modernās zinātnes un sabiedrības rašanos. Savukārt pašas kristietības attīstība saistīta ar hellēnistiskās kultūras iespaidu uz to. Rakstā izdarīti secinājumi, ka ticība (š.g. kristietība) nav absol…
Understanding the subjective experience of consciousness in “GOD”
2015
The objectivity of consciousness exists as a known mechanism to experience the subjectivity of the grandeur created by God; the love of experiencing the existence of God’s creation is a requisite source of experiencing the true God; the God of compassion, understanding and kindness and not a God of terror that prevails within our entropic minds. Fear makes us loose the actual essence of God; the subjective experience of God that we have a right to feel; the wise fool us with a falsification of the wrath of God; a God ready to assault and annihilate all life at any moment. Experiencing the creation of the creator is the true appreciation of the subjective experience of our consciousness, for…

S. S. Horužija antropoloģiskais pagrieziens: uz filozofijas, teoloģijas, psiholoģijas un fizikas robežas // Anthropological Shift by S. S. Horuzhy: a…
The article is dedicated to the problem of anthropological shift in humanities. S. S. Horuzhy, a prominent expert in the field of sciences and philosophy, proposes a new anthropological model based on Hesychast doctrine of man to become the universal ground for all humanities. Although the dialogical perspective by S.S. Horuzhy seems to be rather profound, it however becomes inadequate in the researches on the non-dialogical, i.e. monistic worldview.

Religious spaces as continually evolving modernities: Forms of encounter with modernity in Christian Orthodoxy and Islam
2022
The present study deals with the encounter with modernity in two neighbouring religious spaces: Christian Orthodoxy and Islam. Relying on Eisenstadt’s theory about multiple modernities and on its further developments by Thomas Mergel and Kristina Stoeckl, Islamic and Christian-Orthodox dynamics in relation to the challenges of modernity are examined under two aspects: first, the decoupling between religion and culture as elaborated by Olivier Roy, and second, the development of modernist and fundamentalist currents as phenomena of modernity. The study contributes to the sketching of the profile of Islamic and the Christian-Orthodox modernities, pointing both to some of the commonalities and…
Astroteoloģiski prātojumi bioloģiskā universa hipotēzes un ārpuszemes dzīvības meklējumu perspektīvā
Raksts pamatā ir veltīts zinātnieku atziņām par inteliģentas ārpuszemes dzīvības iespējamību, izdarot no šādas hipotēzes tālākus konstruktīvus teoloģiskus secinājumus. Attiecīgi rakstam ir divas galvenās daļas – zinātniski-teorētiskā un konstruktīvi-teoloģiskā, un tas pieder zinātnes un reliģijas dialoga jomai. Dzīvība rakstā definēta mūsdienu bioloģijas izpratnē. Tiek apskatīti dzīvības rašanās scenāriji, ieskaitot spontānās rašanās un „panspermijas” alternatīvas, kā arī tiek apsvērtas „bioloģiskā determinisma” un no tā izrietošā „bioloģiskā universa” hipotēzes, kuru patiesuma gadījumā universā jābūt civilizācijām un būtnēm, kas attīstījušās nesalīdzināmi augstāk nekā cilvēki. Raksta teolo…
