Wiara jako wejście w dramat człowieka z Bogiem


Abstrakt:

A man as a dramatic being constitutes the core of Tischner's anthropology. It must be emphasized, that there is no liberation from drama and even the act of faith doesn't suspend or eliminate it. Faith itself is not a knowledge; its intentum remains mystery. The aim of the article is to present the phenomenon of religious faith as a profoundly dramatic experience, which deals with the drama of life not by eliminating it, but by consciously acknowledging and accepting it as an unavoidable fact. Undoubtedly the most prominent description of faith is depicted in Tischner's idea of so called religious thinking, in which reason and faith complement and continuously seek each other. Tischner thoroughly shows those aspects of this relation, which build up the drama of faith which struggles for reason, and reason which struggles for faith. The final conclusion is that there is anxiety present in the phenomenon of faith. Firstly because of the fact that hope, which precedes and accompanies each faith - is constantly being built up on pain and in spite of pain. Secondly - faith will never become knowledge and exists above and in spite of every knowledge. Thirdly, if a subject of faith consciously perceives God as a mystery (not ideology) - there is always uncertainty and uneasiness present in such relation. Nonetheless, faith as a dialogue with God involves the drama of faithfulness and trust.
