Asceza we współczesnym świecie konsumpcji, użycia i permisywizmu

Abstract

The author's concept of asceticism is rooted in the concepts of hierarchy of human values. He views self-indulgence, permissivism and consumer attitudes as violations of the human and Christian hierarchy of values and regards asceticism as a progression of exercises siming at a life consistent with that hierarchy. The ascetic process guarantees a person's transition from the state of potentiality to the state of self-realization within his or her proper possibilities, including attainment of the perfection to which God calls man in Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.
