Tomasz z Akwinu. - Opis:
- The article addresses the meaning and loss of meaning of life and death in the context of the modern world and classical philosophy, whose most prominent representative is Thomas Aquinas. There are also references to more contemporary thinkers and philosophers representing various cultural, political and – from certain points of view – also doctrinal backgrounds (G. K. Chesterton, Leszek Kołakowski) – which shows the relevance and significance of the problem. Therefore, referring predominantly to the teaching of Aquinas’ writings, especially the "Summa Theologiae", it is demon-strated that it is eschatology that alone can give the right meaning to life and death, which is currently marginalised in the universal mentality and is a consequence of radically materialistic and post-positivist view of the world (associated with the suc-cesses of exact sciences) hostile to Christianity (which fulfils the objectives of escha-tology most closely). The rejection of eschatology, and in consequence purposefulness which is a source and purpose of all human actions (the human ultimate goal is happi-ness, which St. Thomas – relying on Aristotle – equates with God) calls into question the very nature of man and – as viewed by the mentioned thinkers – may lead to the annihilation of humankind.
