Contemporary Dedication to Awareness as Compared to the Legacy of St. Ignatius’ Examen
Svetelj, Tone (Gdańskie Seminarium Duchowne, 2021)
The rising interest in awareness is a modern phenomenon which can be interpreted as an attempt to reconstruct, what seems to be an extremely important but still missing aspect in our lives in a secular society. True awareness is a rare quality which goes beyond simple self-awareness and growth in attentiveness. True awareness allows us to become aware of our own strengths and weaknesses, become less judgmental, more proactive, emotionally more mature and open to a metareality: love, compassion, creativity, personal evolution. This modern interest in awareness in many ways overlaps with the Ignatian examen as a way of finding God and God’s blessings in our daily life. The focus of the examen is much more than awareness of past events; it is the moment of deep connection with God in the present moment.
Universal Humanism – A Globalization Context is the Classroom of Unheard Options... how to Become More Human
Svetelj, Tone (The Pontifical University of John Paul II in Cracow, 2014)
Within the context of multi-cultural and multi-religious society, embedded in the process of globalization, a traditional understanding of humanism offers insufficient frameworks for an adequate comprehension of human flourishing and human search for meaning. In addition, modernity frames and evaluates in many aspects insufficiently the incomparable worth of the human person. This article offers some guidelines for further philosophical, theological and pedagogical reflection on a humanism that is more suitable for our life in the process of globalization and modernity. Such humanism continually moves us toward a better comprehension of what “human” means within a universe of divergent cultures, religions, traditions, and races. This humanism is called universal humanism, based on the Greek word kaqolou, comprising both universality and wholeness. The first part of this article analyzes some of the main characteristics of humanism in the Greek and Roman contexts, which provide historical and theoretical frameworks for universal humanism. The second part justifies the relevance and usefulness of such humanism: it helps us to transcend singular cultures, nations, political systems, religions, and, by default, to discover or explore anew the meaning of the human person on a global level. The last part of this article suggests some pedagogical attitudes that will help us to embrace and remain in a dialogical relationship with all of humanity, in order to enrich our comprehension of the incomparable worth of the human person, this time from a universal perspective.
