Karteziánský kruh a některá jeho možná řešení

The Cartesian Circle and Some of Its Possible Solutions

Daniel Heider

Studia Theologica 2006, 8(1):22-44649  

The study deals with a "systematic chronology" of various sophisticated strategies, present in the analytical philosophy, in particular during the years 1960-1980, which aim to rescue Descartes' metaphysics and epistemology from an old and famous objection called "The Cartesian Circle Objection". It presents the strategy called "Memory Gambit" which seems to be at hand. The author refutes it because it is in contradiction with many passages of Cartesian corpus. Then it shows which variants of epistemic interpretation can be used as vehicles for liberation of Descartes from the Cartesian Circle. However, it argues that it is particularly a psychological...

Teológia ako praktická veda podľa Jána Dunsa Scota

Theology as a Practical Science according to Duns Scotus

Michal Chabada

Studia Theologica 2006, 8(1):62-70483  

Scotus' understanding of theology as a practical science is based on the new meaning of practice. Practice is an elicited act of will (actus elicitus voluntatis), even in such a case when followed by a commanded act of will (actus imperatus voluntatis). There is a relation of priority and identity between a practical cognition that is based on intellect and practice that is a mater of will. Cognition is practical when it precedes an act of will. If will acts in agreement with this cognition, then will is correct. From the cognition of God as the object of theology and as the ultimate goal of man, conclusions or practical rules are derived that allow...

In Search for the Lost Image: A Lesson from Theological Epistemology

Prokop Brož

Studia Theologica 2006, 8(1):77-82422  

The question of constituting the status of human existence leads to its mysterious nature. Not any rationality can comply with this question. Along with H. U. von Balthasar, the basic question of the human existence foundation is formulated as an open one in multiple dimensions: religious beliefs of Ancient India and Greece, tragic struggle in German mythologies, and biblical concept of Christian existence. Along with H. de Lubac, the second part analyses the humanistic concept of human existence, which results in atheistic humanism. In the last part with W. Kasper, we reveal the elementary status of the question of the human in its Christological...

Eduard Krumpolc

Studia Theologica 2006, 8(1):87-91409  

The first part of the third chapter of the document Communion and Stewardship, entitled "The Image of God: The Administrator of the Visible Creation," is briefly presented and critically analyzed. Science and technology as a form of knowledge and administration of the creation by man should be seen as service to God and to his plan for the whole of creation. Theories on the origin of the universe and of man attract the interest of theology as concerns the theological doctrine on creation of the universe from nothing and of man to the image of God. The creation of each human soul by God is a basis for the relationship between God and each human person...

Odpovědnost za stvořený svět

Responsibility for the Created World

Milan Mičo

Studia Theologica 2006, 8(1):92-96399  

In the history of humanity, situations had arisen when the dependence of human beings on nature went through great changes, and nature became dependent on human beings. This induces a completely new situation of responsibility of human beings for life on the Earth. The Christian ethics coming out of Christology and eschatology points to the fact that from its beginning the created world is intended to be the house of the common dwelling and life of divine and human persons. In this, the most profound grounds of responsibility for this world are found.

The Integrity of Human Beings and Our Responsibility

Květoslav Šipr

Studia Theologica 2006, 8(1):97-100408  

Human persons were created in the image of God in order to enjoy personal communion with the triune God, and in order to exercise responsible stewardship of the universe. Responsible stewardship requires a deep respect for a person as an image of God. The creation of the world ex nihilo is the action of a personal God and the immediate creation of each human soul is the proof of a deep and intimate relationship of God with each human being. The ethical questions of organ transplants, surgery associated with mutilation, reproductive medicine, genetic engineering, gene therapy, human cloning, embryonic stem cells, futile therapy, euthanasia and assisted...

Jiří Skoblík

Studia Theologica 2006, 8(1):101-105447  

Communion and Stewardship, published by the International Theological Commission in 2004, expresses for the first time a standpoint of the Church to sex reassignment surgery as a therapy for persons suffering from gender identity disorder. The paper defends the importance of body for the unity of human beings. However, it admits with respect to the whole tradition an intervention for adequate reasons. It distinguishes between functioning and essential totality, and comes to the conclusion that gender identity disorder is not a sufficient reason for a deep and irreversible intervention into the body integrity by hormonal surgical reassignment (HSR)....
