Paperback. Zustand: New. This book provides a concise historical outline of religion in Poland up until its entry into the European Union in 2004, together with a longer presentation of contemporary religious issues. Albeit largely mono-ethnic and overwhelmingly Catholic after the loss of its large Jewish population to the Holocaust, and subsequent post-World War II border shifts, traces of an historic diversity remain in Poland to date, playing a greater role than mere numbers would suggest. Poland's fairly robust religious life is affected by the country's continuing modernization and its various institutions, and this is discussed within a broad context. One of the unfortunate legacies of decades of communism is a stunted civil society; while at different levels there are conflicts involving religion, at the grassroots it is one of the few forces building much needed trust in present-day Polish society.…

Hardback. Zustand: New. The examination of the transcendentals of truth, beauty and the good in this book stems from the perspective of Christian humanism, transcending ourselves in moral psychology, and perfecting ourselves to attain the good life. These critical approaches are each pertinent to the search for meaning in our lives which the transcendentals augment. From such a perspective, the book engages in an exploration of the philosophy of culture and religion which at key points in the discussion draws upon ritual, works of high and especially popular culture. The truth that moves us closer to discovering meaning and a fuller humanity is largely found in the world and culture that surrounds us and is related to wisdom, which is something that concerns us all.…

Hardback. Zustand: New. The author analyzes appropriately selected historical films of Steven Spielberg and Andrzej Wajda with respect to historical memory in relation to film. Cultural and moral foundations of national identity are also taken into account. Spielberg films particularly valuable for this comparative analysis are: «Schindler's List», «Amistad», «Saving Private Ryan» and «Lincoln»; crucial Wajda films include: «Korczak», «Holy Week», «Katyn and Walesa». These works are analyzed in relation to the problem of representing the Holocaust, self-scrutiny in historical memory, commemoration of sacrifices for the national community during war, and foundation myths evoked through national heroes. The larger thematic framework for the above concerns is the underlying sense of covenant present within the two national communities that Spielberg and Wajda draw upon, a sense that explores the possibility of moral renewal under contemporary circumstances.…

Issued without a dust jacket. -- A scholarly examination of one of the most significant works in contemporary cinema, created by the acclaimed Polish filmmaker Krzysztof Kieslowski. The book focuses on the exploration of moral and ethical dilemmas faced by the protagonists in Kieslowski's Decalogue, a series of ten films, each inspired by one of the Ten Commandments. Kieslowski's Decalogue is renowned for its profound philosophical inquiries into human nature, morality, and the complexities of ethical decision-making. This book delves into the core of these themes, analyzing how Kieslowski portrays his characters' struggles with moral conflicts and their journeys towards self-transcendence - a process through which they attempt to rise above their limitations and confront the deeper meaning of their actions. Key topics covered in the book include: - Character Analysis and Ethical Dilemmas; - Philosophical and Theological Themes; - Self-Transcendence in Cinema; - Cinematic Techniques and Aesthetics (the book also considers Kieslowski's artistic approach, including his use of visual symbolism, narrative structure, and cinematic techniques to enhance the ethical and philosophical depth of his films; the analysis highlights how Kieslowski's direction and the film's aesthetics contribute to the overall impact of the series); - Cultural and Historical Context (set against the backdrop of late 20th-century Poland, the Decalogue series reflects the social, political, and cultural tensions of the time; the book discusses how these broader contexts influence the narratives and themes of the films, providing insights into Kieslowski's commentary on Polish society and the human condition); - Legacy and Influence (finally, the book addresses the lasting legacy of Kieslowski's Decalogue, considering its influence on contemporary cinema and its relevance to ongoing discussions in film studies, philosophy, and theology; it explores how the series continues to resonate with audiences and scholars alike, offering timeless reflections on morality and human experience). "Krzysztof Kieslowski's Decalogue Series: The Problem of the Protagonists and Their Self-Transcendence" is an essential resource for scholars, students, and cinephiles interested in understanding the depth of Kieslowski's work and its significance within the broader context of film, philosophy, and ethics. It offers a comprehensive and thought-provoking analysis of one of the most acclaimed and studied cinematic works of the 20th century, shedding light on the intricate interplay between character, narrative, and morality in Kieslowski's visionary storytelling.
