The work an American philosopher coming from Polish lineage by A.-T. Tymieniecka (1923 – 2014), has become a subject of still growing interest after her death. The focus of the article is on several key concepts of her Logos and Life (1988 – 2000; 4 vls.), concerning creativity and production. On one hand, Tymieniecka exploits Husserl’s fiat of consciousness (rejecting at the same time his rationalism); on the other hand, she draws upon Aristotle’s poetics, which she wants to reconstruct. Her world is constituted as a “tree of life” with imaginatio creatrix on its top. The latter makes the memory, will and intellect to work through association and dissociation acts. The desired result is a new, ontopoietic life with all aspect of life in work, embodied in art and its genres. During his/her life the person is continually interpreting himself/herself. The highest point of the ontopoiesis of life is the ontopoiesis of culture – an objective Husserl also aimed at in his phenomenology.

This paper wants to bring to Slovakia the probably unknown controversy about the roots of Christian Europe, which was provoked by the publication (published eight years ago) of the work of the French medievalist and former professor at Sorbonne – and which continues unabated. Did Islam bring Aristotle to Europe, or did the Christian West have its own translators, especially at Mount Saint-Michel near the Atlantic coast of France? S. Gouguenheim´s answer to the first part of the question is negative. Followed by further positive opinions by historians, such as F. Braudel, and philosophers such as Roger-Pol Droit, R. Brague and others, this view is gaining more supporters. To the detriment of the formerly prevailing official opinion, current research also suggests the fact that Averroes himself had no influence within Islam, the Hellenization of which was very limited.
