Ovim člankom htjeli smo sintetizirati kritiku neoliberalnog kapitalizma analizirajući ključna djela njemačko-korejskog filozofa Byung Chul-Hana. Tom analizom i sintezom došli smo do osnovnih zamjerki ...koje ovaj autor upućuje politici neoliberalnog kapitalizma, tzv. „psihopolitici” koja svojom zavodničkom moći potiče samoizrabljivanje, što dovodi do mnogih neuroloških bolesti današnjice. Iako se s mnogima Hanovim tezama slažemo, primjećujemo da u njegovoj dijagnozi nedostaje govor o nadi koji bi otvorio pore za novo, drugačije i trajnije razumijevanje i življenje istinske slobode.
With this article, we wanted to synthesize a critique of neoliberal capitalism by analyzing the key works of the German-Korean philosopher Byung Chul-Han. With this analysis and synthesis, we came to the basic objections that this author makes to the policy of neoliberal capitalism, the so-called “Psychopolitics” which with its seductive power encourages self-exploitation which leads to many neurological diseases of today. Although we agree with many of Han’s theses, we note that his diagnosis lacks a discourse of hope that would open pores for a new, different, and more lasting understanding and living of true freedom.
This article is an attempt to interpret Pieper’s philosophical treatise On Faith with the help of Newman’s thoughts given that Pieper in his treatise refers to certain Newman’s theses, but he does ...not delve deeper into them. Apart from comparing these two authors in the context of philosophical discussion of faith, this paper aims to show that a properly understood faith has a capacity to provide man with that which is most needed today, both in personal and in social context, and that is security. To this end, in four parts, the article presents the meaning of faith, the aspects of informal security of faith and moral predispositions that are necessary for living personal faith in a general cognitive and religious form. In this sense, love imposes itself as the final imperative – the fundamental moral predisposition that protects faith from all abuses, shapes it, gives it consistency, direction, and leads it to the truth.
The cooperation between the Catholic Church and the State is a necessity and an imperative that was addressed by two important thinkers of the 19th century, John Henry Newman and Josip Juraj ...Strossmayer, and the models that actually trace back to their reflections are existent even nowadays.In the second part of a textological and theological analysis of Newman’s and Strossmayer’s understanding of the relationship between the Church and the State,our objective is to explore how much Newman’s and Strossmayer’s deliberations may be useful in the formulation of the bases on which a good relationship between the Catholic Church and the State should be built. We have seen that comprehension and concord are the fundamental imperatives of that relationship, as well as of the contemporary models that analyze it. The modern obstacles to this relationship have the identical roots, findable in negative liberalism and repaganization.On the trail of Newman and Strossmayer, we conclude that an anthropological reform primarily taking hold of the human heart is necessary today. Therefore, such a reform has to realize that the life in accordance with one’s own conscience, in the truth, is more valuable than all the utopian lies and deceptions that formulate the socioeconomic relations and personal life.
The relationship between the Catholic Church and the state, and between the Church and the state in general, is a very topical issue, and theoreticians at the present time provide various models that ...render assistance to the comprehension of that relationship. The complexity and extensiveness of the problem necessitates that it should be dealt with in two parts (articles). Basically, our objective was to represent the deliberations of John Henry Newman (1801‒1890) and Josip Juraj Strossmayer (1815‒1905), which we consider to be exceptionally valuable and relevant even today. Through such an analysis, we intended to examine how the deliberations of these two great thinkers of the nineteenth century may contribute to a better cooperation between the Catholic Church and the state in present‐day Europe. In this, the first article, in which we deal with Newman’s and Strossmayer’s perceptions of the relationship between the Catholic Church and the state, at the very outset we feature the context in which Newman and Strossmayer each take a closer look at that relationship. This context is characterized by liberalism, but with numerous negative connotations that suffocate the originally positive meaning of liberalism. A negative context of liberalism is an aggravating circumstance in the comprehension of the relationship between the Catholic Church and the state, and on the other hand, from the position of a modern liberal state, Newman’s and Strossmayer’s comprehension of history, in whose center is the principle of God’s Providence, is also qualified in this way, which simultaneously renders the Catholic Church consistent andauthentic, unlike the modern liberal state, which frequently assumes utopian and ideological characteristics. For this very reason, that difference regularly seems insurmountable. Finally, we observe that the issues are additionally complicated by the erroneous notion of the dogma of Papal Infallibility, which is not understood in the spirit of harmony between the conscience and an authority.
The paper deals with the friendship of Josip Juraj Strossmayer, the »First Son of His Homeland,« with the British John Emerich Edward Dalberg-Acton, 1st Baron Acton, KCVO DL, a known politician, man ...of letters, and the »Magistrate of History,« and ideational relation to John Henry Newman, Cong. Orat., the »Augustine of the Modern World.« Analyzed is a correspondence, mostly untranslated heretofore, of the Đakovo »vladika« (that is, episcope), as he titled himself frequently, with William Ewart Gladstone, FRS, FSS, the »People’s William« and the then British Prime Minister, especially in the 1876‒1892 timespan, and the new realizations on Strossmayer’s role in the rebirth of the Croatian culture, his attitude toward the South Slav question and Pan-Slavism, as well as a neo-historical study of the outreach of his speech at the First Vatican Council, have been exploratorily elucidated, with an evaluatory interpretation, from an Anglo-American viewpoint. Thus, Strossmayer’s intercession of a federal-state system, understanding for a unification of the Kingdoms of Dalmatia and Croatia, and a guarantee that the Croatian language be introduced in the then official usage, has also been revalorized, while his cultural significance has been described as a realization of the renaissance Latin term of a »universal man.« All these determinants describe his cultural importance equally cognitively, for just a few of the Croatian 19th-century dignitaries have incorporated it by their influential personalities.
Članak promišlja o intelektualnom idealu J. H. Newmana – “gentlemanu”, “čovjeku filozofskoga habitusa”. “Slobodno znanje” tema je prvoga dijela rada, u kojemu analiziramo Newmanovu viziju sveučilišta ...kroz slobodno obrazovanje i oznaku “znanja radi znanja samoga”. U drugome dijelu, bavimo se “gentlemanom” koji predstavlja živo utjelovljenje koncepcije “znanja radi znanja samoga”. Ovaj specifičan pristup znanju promatra se kao sastavni i bitni dio “slobodnoga obrazovanja”, koje u njemu nalazi svoje utemeljenje, i kao nužan minimum koji proizlazi iz naravi čovjeka i stvarnosti znanosti i sveučilišta. Uočavamo da kao što je to znanje univerzalno u svome opsegu i ujedinjeno, tako je i čovjek koji ga posjeduje “minijaturno sveučilište”, u starijem smislu te riječi. Na posljetku, zaključujemo da se današnje sveučilište daleko udaljilo od Newmanove filozofije obrazovanja i da je znanje koje ono potencira neosobno, instrumentalizirano, te da često ne vodi prema istini.
Papa Franjo 13. listopada 2019. godine proglasio je svetim kardinala Johna Henrya Newmana (1801. – 1890.). Taj teolog, filozof, psiholog, pedagog, književnik napisao je preko 40 knjiga, 6 svezaka ...propovijedi i 21 000 pisama koja je kasnije oksfordsko sveučilište objavilo u 30 svezaka.
