Józefa Życińskiego koncepcja transcendencji Boga jako głębi bytu

Abstract

The paper presents the idea of transcendence of God as depth of being in the philosophy of Józef Życiński (1948–2011). This idea has two main interpretations: moral (searching for the meaning of life by man and discovering it in the world of values) and ontological (the presence of some formal structures in the being of the world as the expression of the divine Logos). The paper consists of three parts: 1) a presentation of those aspects of human existence whose main feature is the question of the meaning of life, and the role of ethics, aesthetics and religion in answering it; 2) a presentation of the idea of God as the depth of the world and structure of laws, ideas and values; 3) a presentation of the aspiration of man to the harmony of life through the openness to the depth of existence in the moral and ontological aspects.
