Catholicism and Politics in Communist Societies
This book is volume two of a three-volume work, Christianity Under Stress, which focuses on the experiences of Christian churches in contemporary communist and socialist societies. In this volume a distinguished group of experts examines the changing relationship of the Catholic church to contemporary communist and socialist societies in Eastern Europe, Latin America, and Asia. Catholicism has, on the one hand, traditionally regarded earthly life as of secondary importance--as an instrument of spiritual transformation--and, on the other, has ascribed great value to the early institutions of the church, taking great interest in temporal matters that affects its institutional concerns.

At the Center of the Human Drama
Finding that a coherent philosophical view is present throughout much of Wojtyla's work, Schmitz also discovers that Wojtyla's sensitivity to both modern and ancient thought and culture was already vividly present in his work as a young student in Cracow. As Pope John Paul II continues to make his mark in the history of the Roman Catholic Church and of the world, this book will prove invaluable to philosophers, theologians, and the educated reader who wishes learn more about his thought.

The Problem of the Idea of Culture in John Paul II
In The Problem of the Idea of Culture in John Paul II: Exposing the Disruptive Agency of the Philosophy of Karol Wojtyła, John Corrigan provides a new lens with which to view and understand the philosophy of Karol Wojtyła/John Paul II. He exposes Wojtyła as a major player in contemporary philosophical debates. The work reformulates the “problem of experience” in light of the questions surrounding our idea of culture. Corrigan argues that for Wojtyła the drama of the “problem of experience” manifests in the apparently divergent accounts of the meaning of human experience as presented by the philosophies of being and of consciousness. Solving this conundrum results in an idea of the person capable of explaining human experience in relation to human culture,unfolding the experiences of self-knowledge, conscience, and the ontic-causal relationship of the person to human culture. The first part of the book concerns formal considerations regarding the constitutive aspects of Wojtyła’s approach, while the second part deals with pragmatic considerations drawn from his comments on culture.
Dziennik. Jeszcze jedno zdanie
„Czytam swój dziennik, jakby pisał go ktoś inny. A skoro tak, może ta opowieść wciągnie także kogoś nieznajomego? Chciałbym to sprawdzić, zaryzykować. Na ile da się w takim wyborze, bo to tylko część większej całości, przekazać splot życia? [...] Coś z tamtych radości, rozczarowań, bólu, poczucia winy?” – tak swoje szkice i notatki, które pisał właściwie od zawsze, podsumowuje Tadeusz Sobolewski, znany krytyk filmowy i publicysta. Jego Dziennik. Jeszcze jedno zdanie to dzieło wyjątkowe i unikatowe, obejmujące lata osiemdziesiąte i dziewięćdziesiąte, od stanu wojennego po Okrągły Stół, transformację i wolną Polskę. Ogromna chęć przeżywania, zobaczenia i przeczytania „wszystkiego”, niezwykła wrażliwość w ocenach oraz aktywa twórczość Tadeusza Sobolewskiego wzbudzają podziw. Ale Dziennik. Jeszcze jedno zdanie to nie tylko zapis intelektualnych wędrówek, lecz także poruszająca relacja człowieka poszukującego własnego miejsca w świecie. Człowieka w najtrudniejszym, ale też w najpiękniejszym momencie życia.
