    Étienne Gilsona rozumienie pojęcia filozofii chrześcijańskiej. Refleksja w świetle encykliki „Fides et ratio”
    Handzel, Michał (Wyższe Seminarium Duchowne Zakonu Świętego Pawła Pierwszego Pustelnika, 2014)
    As St. John Paul II noted in the encyclical Fides et Ratio, the history of philosophy includes two types of philosophical reflection: philosophy completely separate from the Revelation, and Christian philosophy. The first leads to agnosticism, a departure from metaphysics as a philosophy of being, relativism, and a giving up of any ethical references, and nihilism. Christian philosophy, on the other hand, resolves many epistemological problems and is able to objectively describe reality as it really is. Throughout the history of philosophy, there have been many ways of understanding the concept of Christian philosophy, but it seems that Étienne Gilson’s understanding is the most accurate. He based his study on a thorough knowledge of the history of philosophy, which means that he was able to avoid many mistakes made by others (e.g. Ludwig Feuerbach). The key features of Christian philosophy are: an awareness of the difference between ordered knowledge and faith, and furthermore, making a distinction between them when undertaking philosophical reflection; justifying theses with natural arguments; seeing great value in the Christian Revelation, which can be of assistance to the human mind, in that it is an inspiration to tackle certain problems, which, without the Old and New Testaments, would not be examined at all. Further salient features of Christian philosophy include: traditionalism, selectiveness in the issues examined, and a tendency to systematize. Etienne Gilson’s concept mentioned above shows, on the one hand, that philosophy is not religion, and on the other, that ‒ for the good of philosophy itself, it is obliged to take into consideration all forms of knowledge, including theology. The position presented is fully compatible with the teachings of St. John Paul II in Fides et Ratio.
