Praktyka życia chrześcijańskiego w „Ojcze nasz” Augusta Cieszkowskiego

Abstract

In the paper I show the ethical and religious dimension of the treatise Ojcze nasz (Eng. Our Father) by August Cieszkowski. First, practice was considered as the basic criterion for accepting or rejecting faith (its impact on human life). Then, the definition of faith was developed as three relationships (to God; to oneself; to others) in the context of Cieszkowski’s critical comments on the lifestyle of Christians of that time. Finally, I bring out the religious motivation of Cieszkowski’s philosophy, his deep concern for the implementation of the Christian principle of following Jesus in life trough social act.

Niniejsza praca ukazuje etyczno-religijny wymiar traktatu Ojcze nasz autorstwa Augusta Cieszkowskiego. Wpierw rozpatruje praktykę jako podstawowe kryterium przyjęcia bądź odrzucenia wiary — jej wpływu na życie człowieka. Następnie rozwija definicję wiary jako trzech relacji (do Boga; do siebie; do innych) w kontekście pozostawionych przez Cieszkowskiego komentarzy krytycznych odnośnie do stylu życia ówczesnych chrześcijan. Dzięki temu wydobywa religijną motywację filozofii Cieszkowskiego, jego głębokie zatroskanie o realizację chrześcijańskiego pryncypium naśladowania Jezusa w życiu społecznym poprzez czyn.
