Opis:: The writings of Corpus Dionysiacum present a concept of life which is different from the one that we profess nowadays. Its view is backed up mainly by the Platonic tradition, which since the times of Plato has tended to see life as an intellectual principle. Therefore, in the Neoplatonic system we can find the conviction that life, in its fullest sense, is intellectual and at its peak is a vision of the One. In the system of Proclus, life, apart from being a principle, is also a god and the main principle of the whole world of intellectual and intellective gods. Pseudo-Dionysius in his writings exploits the concept of the unparticipable and participable principle, and since God is for him Trinity completely beyond participation and knowledge, the divine names play the role of participable henads. However, for Dionysius, names are neither hypostases nor living gods, which is clearly visible in case of the name of Life. All things participate in the name of life and in this name God is the only principle of life in the universe. However, life is not a property to own, but rather a constant struggle to approach the Trinity. Therefore, by committing a sin, an angel or a man loses life, which in the case of a man can be regained through sacramental activity. An analysis of the thoughts of Pseudo-Dionysius reveals a conception of life which is unified contrary to its shattered modern understanding. While biological, mental, moral lives fundamentally differ for us, for Dionysius those are merely aspects of the same thing, and therefore in his view life can be lost and regained not only in the metaphorical, but also the ontological sense.

Tytuł:: Wiara szukająca zrozumienia w aspekcie praktyki dążenia ku szczęściu w ujęciu Platona, Plotyna i św. Augustyna

Opis:: Well known sentence fides quaerens intellectum often mentioned by St. Augustine of Hippo and very popular in medieval theology is often understood in such a way, that act of faith must be prior to rational cognition. Faith is understood in this sentence, as acceptance of Christian Revelation and natural cognition seems to be impossible without prior act of faith. The purpose of this article is to show, that faith or belief is present in the writings of pagan philosophers (especially Plato and Plotinus) as the necessary stage of the process of cognition. It can be seen especially in the context of philosophical life understood as seeking happiness. To enter the path of philosophical life it is necessary for the pupil to listen and believe in the words of the master. Pupil believing in authority of the master must obtain the conviction, that entering the path of the true philosophy is worth the effort and that it is possible to have the higher understanding and knowledge. At the end of the path belief disappears, because pupil can penetrate the higher truth and understand it himself. Analysis of mutual relation of faith and understanding in pagan philos ophers shows that it is not sufficient to point out the priority of faith to classify Christian writers (especially St. Augustine) as theologians rather then philosophers, since this sequence could occur at natural level.

Tytuł:: There are two roads marked out to us for the discovery of what we seek… Eunomius’ arguments on the generation of the Son based on the concepts of substance and activity
Są dwie drogi odkrycia tego, czego poszukujemy… Argumenty Eunomiusza dotyczące zrodzenia Syna Bożego oparte na pojęciach substancji i działania

Opis:: Eunomiusz z Kyziku w swoich pismach broni neoariańskiego rozumienia pochodzenia Syna Bożego twierdząc, że musi być ono postrzegane jako stworzenie nowej substancji. Syn Boży jako stworzenie nie może więc być równy Bogu Ojcu. Pośród argumentów, które przytacza centralne miejsce zajmuje rozróżnienie pomiędzy substancją (oÙs…a) i działaniem (™nšrgeia). Proponuje on nawet swoją metodologię badań teologicznych twierdząc, że są dwie drogi, które prowadzą do właściwego rozumienia zrodzenia Syna. Pierwsza z niech prowadzi od poznania istoty Boga do ustalenia natury pochodzenia Syna, zaś punktem wyjścia drugiej jest samo zrodzenie Syna Bożego, które jest działaniem Ojca i ma doprowadzić do właściwego rozumienia boskiej istoty. Według Eunomiusza obydwie drogi prowadzą w sposób konieczny do konkluzji, że Ojciec i Syn nie mogą posiadać tej samej substancji oraz że te dwie substancje nie mogą być do siebie podobne. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest prześledzenie argumentów Eunomiusza w aspekcie ich spójności i proponowanej przez niego metodologii. Jako punkt odniesienia służy odpowiedź sformułowana przez jego dwóch wielkich przeciwników Bazylego Wielkiego i Grzegorza z Nyssy.
Eunomius of Cyzicus in his writings defends Arian understanding of the generation of the Son of God. He claims that the generation must be perceived as creation of the new essence. Therefore, the Son of God is the first creation and could not be equal with the Father. Among many arguments that he gives to support his thesis, he also evokes the distinction between essence (oÙs…a) and activity (™nšrgeia). Eunomius proposes his own methodology and states that there are two ways leading to proper understanding of generation. First one leads form the recognizing of the essence of God to conclusions on the generation, which is the activity of the Father. Another way of demonstration starts from the activities and allows distinguishing essences according to the products that they have caused. Eunomius underlines that both ways of enquiry lead to an irrefutable conclusion that the Father and the Son cannot have the same essence. Moreover, he claims that there could be no likeness between the two essences of the Father and the Son. The goal of this article is to review Eunomius’ arguments from the viewpoint of their effectiveness and proposed methodology. The orthodox answer of Basil the Great and Gregory of Nyssa are the context of reviewing Neo- Arian claims.

Tytuł:: Ciało ludzkie i jego udział w szczęściu nieba – koncepcja Pseudo-Dionizego Areopagity wobec poglądów neoplatoników pogańskich
Human body and its participation in heavenly happiness – conception of Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite against the teaching of pagan neoplatonic philosophers

Opis:: In seventh chapter of his On the Ecclesiastical Hierarchy Pseudo Dionysius the Areopagite treats on the ceremony of burial. While explaining the rites he makes a few remarks on the Christian understanding of the body and its fate after death, and how it is inconsistent with some pagan views on the matter. He discusses several opposite statements of the complete disintegration of the body, metempsychosis and seeing the life of the body after death exactly like the life on earth (On the Ecclesiastical Hierarchy VII 3, 1). This polemic is pointed against Neoplatonic philosophers who held such opinions, and to understand the difference between pagan and Christian view on the matter, the second part of the article considers the Neoplatonic view of the life after death. At Neoplatonic schools there were a different opinions of whether the embodiment is good or rather damaging to the intellectual soul. Philosophers like Plotinus and Porphyry explained descend of the soul as being evil, while Iamblichus and Damaskios thought otherwise. However there were points in which Neoplatonics were completely in agreement. All of them admitted that the happiness of the soul after death is possible only without the material body, and that the soul can reincarnate. Analysis of Neoplatonic view shows that the negative approach to the body is not the feature that could be ascribed to all Late Greek philosophers. Pseudo-Dionysius sees the problem in the Christian perspective. The soul at the moment of death does not loose completely the connection with the body and thus death does not mean the dissolution of the substance. However the new body that will be given to believers after resurrection will not be exactly the same with the earthly one.
