Father Piotr Semenenko (1814-1886), one of the founders of Collegium Resurrectianum – the catholic order originally servig Polish migrants and refugees – created a unique philosophical system meant to reunite classical philosophy and the modern one on the ground of the contemporary natural science. The central point of his theory is the concept of force grasped as the third metaphysical element of being along with the traditional act and potency. The article portrays the scholar himself and presents the main accomplishments of his thought – the actualization of classical scholasticism and natural science as well as the rectification of modern philosophy. Further, there is also an outline given of his philosophical system, notably on the topic of the metaphysical and epistemological conception of force.

The article makes a claim that Thomas Aquinas’ philosophy of being plays a fundamental role in Karol Wojtyła’s concept of person presented in his major anthropological work Osoba i czyn (known in English as The Acting person). Aquinas discovered that every being is composed of existence (being, esse) and essence (essentia). Wojtyła builds his philosophy of personhood within this framework of esse (being, existence) and essentia (essence). The moral and rational essence of human person, according to Wojtyła, is best revealed by specifically human, free and conscious, actions. That is why Wojtyła analyzes human person through his actions and discovers such essential structures of human reason and free will as self-cognition, self-knowledge, self-owning, self-ruling which make the ontic basis for selfgovernance. The immediate ground for Wojtyła’s analysis of person through his actions is the act and potency theory, developed by Aristotle and redefined by Thomas Aquinas in the light of the composition of being from esse and essentia. Every act reveals a correlated potency which otherwise would remain hidden and unknown. Potency-act theory characterizes not only two real states of every being, but also it is the adequate tool to describe every being’s becoming. It is not becoming out of nothingness, but on the ground and within the limits of already existing potency. A specifically human action (actus humanus) discloses a specifically human potency-essence. Through his actions a man becomes good or bad as a man, depending on the moral quality of the actions. All these insights into man’s essence presented by Wojtyła emphasize the absolute primacy of a man’s existence (being, esse) over his actions and over his becoming. Being (esse) precedes acting and becoming. Without being (esse) there would be no acting and no becoming (operari sequitur esse—first something must exist and only then it can act). Thus, as a contingent being, a man does not owe his existence to himself but to the Absolute Being (Ipsum Esse); and his human dignity stems, first of all, from his being, not from his doing.

Both ancient and medieval world picture in philosophy reflected the world picture in natural sciences of the time. Consequently, our contemporary metaphysical world picture should correspond to that in modern science. In the article Albert Mitterer’s and Tadeusz Wojciechowski’s Concepts of the Interdependence of Matter and Motion there has been an outline presented of such picture, based on the ideas of the title scholars. In this article an attempt has been made to draw metaphysical consequences from their concepts of constitutional motion and particle act in reference to inanimate mattter, vegetative, sensitive and rational beings as well as The Prime Being.

Parmenides was not a metaphysician (he was a materialist), so there is no such thing as Parmenidean metaphysics. Plato’s Parmenides, however, offers metaphysical insights otherwise overlooked by readers unfamiliar to what St. Thomas Aquinas offers concerning the One and the Many. This article highlights some of these insights and will interest students of St. Thomas. It might also acquaint students of Plato to a more perfect metaphysics, and it could even corrode the beliefs of others who maintain that there is no such thing as metaphysics. The fact that none of the sciences may dispense with the first science is brought heavily to bear upon the reader of the Parmenides, who finds it otherwise impossible to resolve any of the difficulties attendant upon reconciling the One and the Many. The many apparent contradictions between the One and the Many displayed in Plato’s Parmenides really cannot be solved without sound metaphysics, and sound metaphysics cannot proceed unaided by St. Thomas and his inheritors. Go to Thomas to understand Plato’s Parmenides.

Text De ente et essentia was written together with "De principis naturae" in Thomas’ first years of teaching activities and accounted philosophical “exercises” for the brothers at the convent of St. James in Paris. There is commonly noted, that Aquinas had already established the most important theses of his philosophy, the existential metaphysics of being above all, in which the act was the existence of this being, and the form with the matter constituted its essence. In this situation, the source of all existence, God appeared as only existence. Analysis of existential themes in "De ente et essentia" confirms these opinions. In later texts, especially in the "Summa Contra Gentiles", "Summa theologiae" and "Quaestiones disputatae", Thomas deepens his concepts; he introduces extended topic of transcendentals - property of being which manifest its existence. However, the bulk of his existential metaphysics of existence has been outlined already in "De ente et essentia", and it was never corrected in the basic theses.

This study is concerned with the swooning as one of the characteristic motifs of modernism, arising from a period of reflexive attention. First it will examine this in the dramas of Arthur Schnitzler Zug der Schatten and Frank Wedekind’s Erdgeist, then will turn to the demarcated realm of Central European Modernism (with support from Moritz Csáky’s characterization of Zentraleurope) as located in the works of Karel Čapek. Janáček’s libreto The Makropulos Affair comments on the basic polemics in whose background are shown the crucial importance of the motif of fainting in the overall construction of Čapek’s early works.

In this article I present a philosophical considerations of theological heresy of presbyter Arius from the perspective of Aquinas’ criticism included in his works, with special honors Summa contra Gentiles. I show the role of Aristotle’s philosophy in creating the ancient Arianism, as well as its scholastic overcome. Analyzing the arguments of Arius, I familiarize myself with the concept of birthing Word as metaphysical substantial change, the transition from potency to act or movement perfecting. We are getting to know the thinking of Aquinas, exploring arguments of Alexandrian presbyter with the help of the same philosophy of Stagirite and winning this timeless intellectual startup.

The third in a series of texts printed in “Rocznik Tomistyczny” (the former two are Albert Mitterer’s and Tadeusz Wojciechowski’s Concepts of the Interdependence of Matter and Motion, RT 6/2017 and The Metaphysical Consequences of the Concepts of Matter and Motion in Contemporary Physics, RT 7/2018) this article gives the crowning touch to the theory of dynamo-energetic duality of being. Applying the method of transcendental analogy, it reveals how human mind – cognizing matter-motion, as well as vegetative, sensitive and rational beings – comes to the conclusion that there are one consciousness and three selves in the Prime Being – the counterpart of triune God of the Catholic doctrine.
