Nos dias atuais tornou-se claro o papel exercido pela religião cristã na fundamentação da cosmovisão ocidental. Sabemos que toda ruptura pressupõe continuidades. Assim, apesar de inúmeros pensadores afirmarem a impossibilidade de se conjugar modernidade e religião, no nosso caso o cristianismo, o que vemos são as religiões coexistirem com as demais instituições modernas. Não só as religiões mudaram, mas a própria modernidade não é a mesma. No tocante ao cristianismo a reflexão em torno da hermenêutica diversificou esta matriz, bem como revelou uma de suas características identitárias, possibilitando seu diálogo com o mundo moderno. Neste sentido o objetivo de nosso artigo é resgatar a dimensão hermenêutica do cristianismo mostrando como ela contribuiu para o diálogo desta matriz com as diversas modernidades. Nossa metodologia é bibliográfica e parte de um resgate histórico da interpretação cristã enquanto identidade e método e do confronto desta realidade com o período atual, para nós revelador de um novo estágio da modernidade. Por fim, pensamos que assim como a modernidade se tornou múltipla assumindo a pluralidade para si mesma, o cristianismo, como matriz religiosa que pretende oferecer sentido ao ser humano contemporâneo, só pode ser pensado dentro da pluralidade própria de nossos tempos. HERMENÉUTICA Y MODERNIDAD: EL RETORNO A UN CRISTIANISMO PROPOSICIONAL Hence, we know that every rupture presupposes continuitie. Thus, although many thinkers have affirmed about the impossibility of combining modernity and religion; Christianity as our point here, what we encounter is that religions coexist with other modern institutions. Not only the religions have changed, but also the modernity itself, has changed as well. Regarding Christianity, reflection on hermeneutics has diversified this matrix, as well as revealed one of its identity characteristics, allowing its dialogue with the modern world. Therefore, the objective of this our article, is to rescue the hermeneutic dimension of Christianity, showing the way how it contributed to the dialogical dimension of this matrix with the different modernities. Our methodology is based on the bibliographical and also historical in order to rescue the Christian interpretation as its identity and method to confront the reality. At the end, we just think that, as modernity has become multiple by having assumed plurality for itself, Christianity, as a religious matrix that intends to offer the meaning of life to the contemporary human being, can only be thought of within the proper plurality to our times.

This chapter explores the tension between universalism and particularism as expressed in the pre-war poetry, novels, and essays of André Spire, Edmond Fleg, Henri Franck, and Jean-Richard Bloch. It examines the question of Jewish identity in the modern world through writers that paved the way for the much more widespread phenomenon of Jewish self-questioning in the post-war years. It also looks at André Spire's ground-breaking Poèmes juifs and Quelques Juifs that offered a scathing critique of both Jewish assimilation and French antisemitism. It discusses Henri Franck's prose poem La Danse devant l'arche, which describes a young man's quest for the meaning of life and reveals a similar tension between affirming the specificity of Jewish roots and embracing a larger French cultural heritage.

Personalism is a philosophical school of thought focused on thorough considerations around the human being. A few types and branches of personal­ism can be distinguished, for example by country of origin and development of thought, or by the analysis of differ­ent elements that constitute a human be­ing. On Polish ground, it is the teaching of St. John Paul II that deserves partic­ular attention. On the basis of a specific view on human beings in their integral and social dimension, personalism for­mulates a characteristic vision of mar­riage and family. It emphasizes the un­derstanding of family as a communi­ty of people, it teaches of the specificity of a relationship between a man and a woman, which leads to a tradition­al way of defining marriage and fami­ly. Consideration of biological, psycho­logical and spiritual dimensions of the functioning of a human being triggers a complex approach towards family. This means that it is the basis for deter­mining rules of psychological and spiri­tual establishment of marriage and fam­ily bonds. It also concerns the way of raising children, at the same time be­coming a special place for personal up­bringing. Reminding and promoting the abovementioned understanding of fam­ily can be a means of preventing threats of the modern world. This means that it can prevent the destruction of a family, as well as any attempts to redefine mar­riage and family – present in current so­cial reality. It can influence the process of supporting marriage and family with regard to appropriate communication, dealing with marriage crisis and with upbringing children. The way to per­form those preventive and supporting actions should first of all be the period of preparation for marriage, in a broad and direct aspect. Apart from that, in­cluding it in the constant formation of families may constitute a specific form of protection.

Desde a década de 1960, o mundo cristão acostumou-se a repetir uma expressão que, de acordo com o Concílio Vaticano II, definia o mundo de então: “mudanças rápidas e profundas”. A definição continua teoricamente verdadeira, mas a expressão já não expressa nem a rapidez, nem a profundidade das mudanças que vão se operando nos dias de hoje, ou seja, à distância de apenas cinqüenta anos. Sob o signo de comunicações que se caracterizam por processos revolucionários ao mesmo tempo mais simples e mais complexos, é o próprio ser humano que vai se transformando em velocidade estonteante, na maneira de se comunicar, de sentir, de pensar e de ser. Verdadeiramente a nova condição comunicativa se transformou em nova condição humana, com tudo o que isto significa em termos de soluções e interrogaçõesAbstract: From the 60s onward the Christian world got used to repeating an expression that, according to the II Vatican Council, defined what the world at the time was going through: “rapid and deep changes”. In theory, the definition continues to be true, but the expression no longer reflects either the speed or the depth of the changes operating today, only fifty years later. Under the sign of communications that are marked by both simpler and more complex revolutionary processes, is the human being him/herself who changes at a dazzling speed in the way s/he communicates, feels, thinks and is. Indeed the new communicative condition became the new human condition with all that means in terms of solutions and questionings.

O presente Artigo apresenta diversas formas de se compreender quando começa a vida humana. Dependendo da forma de compreender o início desse fenômeno e de como se compreende o embrião ou feto, dependerá nosso modo de nos relacionarmos com o ele, – o feto – assim como a sua condição jurídica. Apresenta-se de início, a corrente personalista, que identifica o conceito de pessoa com o de ser humano, defendendo que o ser humano, desde seu primeiríssimo estágio de desenvolvimento é pessoa, e, portanto, titular de direitos. Logo após, apresenta-se várias teorias que afirmam que o embrião ou feto, de acordo com seu estágio de desenvolvimento é um ser humano, mas não é pessoa, e por isso, não é titular de direitos, entre os quais, o direito fundamental à vida e à integridade física.Palavras-chave: Início da vida. Embrião. Pessoa. Pré-natal. AbstractThis Paper presents several forms one can apprehend the exact moment which human life in flows out. Depending on the way one perceives as being embryo or fetus, from these perspectives, one can discover how dealing with it, i.e. the embryo or fetus, as well as with regards to its juridical condition. One can present, first of all, the personalistic current which identifies the concept regarding to the person with the human being that one, assuming the which the human being according to, since its primary development stage, is a person in itself and therefore – person – has its own rights as a titular by itself. Soon after, one has presented several theories that affirm the embryo or fetus, according to its development is a human being, but it is not a person and, therefore, it has not its right as a titular by itself, including among these ones i.e. rights, its fundamental right to life and to its physical integrity.Keywords: Life Beginning.

In the framework of broad philosophic and historical context the author conducts comparative analysis of the conditions for assimilating liberal values in leading countries of the modern world and in Russia. He defends the idea of inevitable forward movement of Russia on the way of rationalization and cultivation of all aspects of life, but, to his opinion, it will occur not so fast as the "first wave" reformers thought and in other ideological and sociocultural forms than in Europe and America. The author sees the main task of the reformist forces in Russia in consolidation of the society and inplementation of socially responsible economic policy.

This paper explores the way American intellectuals depicted Sigmund Freud during the peak of popularity and prestige of psychoanalysis in the US, roughly the decade and a half following World War II. These intellectuals insisted upon the unassailability of Freud's mind and personality. He was depicted as unsusceptible to any external force or influence, a trait which was thought to account for Freud's admirable comportment as a scientist, colleague and human being. This post-war image of Freud was shaped in part by the Cold War anxiety that modern individuality was imperilled by totalitarian forces, which could only be resisted by the most rugged of selves. It was also shaped by the unique situation of the intellectuals themselves, who were eager to position themselves, like the Freud they imagined, as steadfastly independent and critical thinkers who would, through the very clarity of their thought, lead America to a more robust democracy.

Oedipus At Colonus

Retracing in his novel the labyrinthine journey that leads Oedipus from the place of his abomination (Thebes) to the city of his future glory (Colonus), Henry Bauchau fills the emptiness between Sophocles’s Oedipus the King and Oedipus at Colonus. Bauchau’s hero, a powerful king, loses everything and stabs his eyes out when the cruel truth about his real identity is revealed. Blind, homeless, devoid of meaning of life, Oedipus leaves on a journey to pass away anywhere. However, his way to death turns out to be, thanks to benevolent presence of others and art’s liberating power, the road to personal elucidation. The story of Bauchau’s Oedipus, who finally recognizes himself as a truly human, is based therefore on the passage between absence and presence, between darkness and lucidity, on the union of contradictions which symbolize the complexity of human nature. This paper attempts to analyse different representations of absence in Bauchau’s novel. Afterwards, the article focuses on the ways which facilitate Oedipus’s road leading from depersonalization to rediscovery of his own identity.

This chapter recalls the way in which landscapes are constructed, both in literary terms and in physical terms by characters within Herodotus’ narrative. It explores some modern parallels, such as the Kerch bridge which will link Crimea to Russia, for the manipulation of landscape through monumental engineering works as a symbol of imperial ambitions. It suggests, therefore, that the narrative of Herodotus, with its subtle and differentiated presentation of man’s interaction with the natural world, especially in the context of imperial projects, and its underlying proposition that the map of empire is constantly evolving, remains of immediate relevance to the modern world.

The Way

The chapter explores the way English-language etiquette books from the nineteenth century prescribe accepted behavior for upwardly mobile members of the bourgeoisie. This advice extended to social events known today as “salons” that were conducted in the domestic drawing room or parlor, where guests would perform musical selections for the enjoyment of other guests. The audience for such informal music making was expected to listen attentively, in keeping with the (self-) disciplining of the bourgeois body that such regulations represented in the nineteenth century. Yet even as the modern world became noisier and aurally more confusing, so, too, did contemporary social events, which led authors to become stricter in their disciplining of the audience at these drawing room performances. Nevertheless, hosts and guests could not avoid the growing “crisis of attention” pervading this mode of entertainment, which would lead to the modern habit of inattentive listening.
