Życiński, Józef2025-08-142025-08-141986Analecta Cracoviensia, 1986, T. 18, s. 121-135.0209-0864https://theo-logos.pl/handle/123456789/34842Sharing the opinion that the explicative power of different philosophical systems depends on their languages and basic assumptions, the author raises the question whether the existing human suffering cannot be explained in Whiteheadian metaphysics in a more adequate manner than in the systems of classical philosophy. After presenting basic terms introduced in Whitehead’s Process and Reality the author develops some Haritshornian ideas dealing with the divine solidarity with suffering men and investigates A. R. Peacocke’s comments on the so-called structural necessity. Metaphysical interpretations of the limitative theorems discovered in metalogic are proposed to approach some forms of suffering as an ontic necessity unavoidable for the same reasons which determine uincompleteness of consistent logical systems.plCC-BY-NC-ND - Uznanie autorstwa - Użycie niekomercyjne - Bez utworów zależnychfilozofiafilozofia procesucierpieniezłoświatmetafizykametafizyka procesuAlfred North Whiteheadharmoniabytegzystencjarozwójphilosophyprocess philosophysufferingevilworldmetaphysicsprocess metaphysicsharmonybeingexistencedevelopmentArticle
