Dimensions of the Relationship between the Individual and Her Unique Worldview Construction
2021
Each individual constructs his own private worldview using elements from established worldview traditions. The biographical character of this formation makes this the individual’s “Unique Worldview Construction” (UWC). The purpose of this theoretical study is to analyse the dynamic relationship between the individual and her own UWC. It describes more how than what he believes in or denies. The variation is exceedingly complex. To make it accessible, the complexity is crystallized into seven dimensions: (1) The authority structure deals with the individual’s perception of herself as being superordinate/subordinate to her own UWC. (2) The importance dimension analyses the span from indiffere…
Atheists in the Foxhole : representation of atheists on American dramatic series Firefly, House M.D., Bones, and Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip
2011
Työn aiheena oli ateistien representaatio amerikkalaisissa draamasarjoissa Firefly, House, MD, Bones ja Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. Lähtökohtana oli selvittää miten heitä representoidaan, eli kuvataan, edustetaan, millaisen vaikutelman ateisteista saa näiden sarjojen perusteella ja kohdellaanko uskonnollisia ja ateisti hahmoja samalla tavalla. Tarkoitukseni oli tutkia näiden neljän sarjan päähenkilöitä ja miettiä onko ateistien representaatio positiivista vai negatiivista. Koska ateisteista oli vaikea löytää akateemisia tutkimuksia käytin apunani verrattavissa olevia tutkimuksia representaatiosta televisiossa. Representaation lisäksi käytin kulttuurin tutkimusta ja populaarikulttuurin tu…
Victor Schoelcher, abolitionniste et républicain : approche juridique et politique de l'oeuvre d'un fondateur de la République
2000
The aim of this judicial and political analysis is to reveal Victor Schoelcher's decisive influence in the fight for equal rights and for the republic, in the French mainland as well as in its colonies. His well known fight against slavery was just a part of his humanist defense of the republican principles : Liberty, Equality, Fraternity. Schoelcher truly was a founder of the republic, taking part in the barricade insurrections against the 1851 coup and fighting against any kind of slavery or absolutism. His work addressed many aspects of our society, among which : - Slavery and the colonies (legal status of slaves, emancipated slaves and of the colonies) - Rights and liberties of men and …
«Men for oss er det én Gud, Faderen» : et kritisk blikk på Richard Bauckhams kristologi
2012
Author's version of an article in the journal: Teologisk Tidsskrift. Also available from the publisher at: http://www.idunn.no/ts/tt/2012/01/art06 The article consists of two parts: Part one seeks to demonstrate (contra Bauckham) that Jewish monotheism in the Second Temple period was of a flexible character. It argues that Jewish writers in this period could attribute «divine functions» to figures beside God, while still feeling committed to «one God». The Jewish monotheism of this period was therefore not constituted by functions or characteristics, but rather by the exclusive worship of the one God. Part two argues that Paul describes Jesus with a high position beside God, while still fee…
Oikeudenmukaisuus sisäsyntyisinä oikeuksina ja kasvatus oikeudenmukaisuuteen dialogisen pluralismin kontekstissa : näkökulmia ja tulkintoja Nicholas …
2017
The study offers a philosophical analysis of Nicholas Wolterstorff’s theory of justice and education for justice. Crucial aspects of Wolterstorff’s theory are his understanding of justice as inherent rights and justice as inherent worth. Interrelated to this are the concepts of life-goods, well-being and the good life. Within this framework of rights grounded in worth, the notions of natural human rights and human dignity occupy a special position. These notions in turn form the philosophical foundation and implications for education for justice. The study is divided into two parts. The first part delves into the notion of justice as inherent rights. The key aspects addressed in this sectio…
Dialog religii a dialog kultur
2019
W artykule podjęto zagadnienie relacji między dialogiem kultur a dialogiem religii. Analiza pojęcia religii i pojęcia kultury pokazała, że ich treści są ze sobą ściśle powiązane. Nie ma religii bez kultury ani kultury bez religii. Dlatego pojawiający się czasem postulat zastąpienia dialogu międzyreligijnego dialogiem międzykulturowym jest bezpodstawny. Dialog kultur bez dialogu religii jest niemożliwy. Aby dialog mógł zaistnieć, muszą być spełnione odpowiednie warunki. Jednym z nich jest dążenie do prawdy. Prawda ma jednak charakter inkluzywny, a nie ekskluzywny. Dlatego w religii nie ma miejsca na przemoc w imię prawdy. Dla chrześcijan prawda ma charakter osobowy. Jest nią Jezus Chrystus –…
Schelling, esotericism and the meaning of life
2019
F.W.J. Schelling argues in his middle period work Philosophical Inquiries into the Nature of Human Freedom that will should be understood as the most fundamental constitutive element of reality. Though it is often downplayed in recent scholarship, Schelling derived his most central ideas for this work more or less directly from the theosophy of Jacob Boehme. I will argue that far from peripheral and antiquated curiosity, Schelling´s esoteric influences constitute the very foundation of his middle period thought. Schelling´s affinity to esotericism enabled him to develop a form of pantheism, which is not tied to the familiar problematic aspects of traditional Christian and post-Christian nar…

Übel, Leid und Erlösung. Die existentielle Botschaft von Naturalismus und Theismus
2018
Naturalizm jest obecnie największym wyzwaniem dla teizmu. Jako teza metafizyczna głosi on, iż wszystko, co wydarza się w świecie, da się wyjaśnić za pomocą przyczyn naturalnych (praw przyrody); nie istnieją duchy, Bóg, bogowie lub inne nadprzyrodzone moce bądź siły. W konsekwencji naturalizm utożsamia się z materializmem i ateizmem. W artykule postawiono pytanie o egzystencjalne konsekwencje światopoglądu naturalistycznego i teistycznego. Od strony metodologicznej postanowiono wykorzystać słabości naturalizmu na korzyść teizmu. Punktem sporu uczyniono problem zła i cierpienia. Analiza obydwu stanowisk prowadzi do wniosku, iż naturalizm jest złą nowiną dla ludzkości. Jeśli Boga nie ma, nie m…
