The periodical “Philosophy and Canon Law” constitutes an open interdisciplinary forum for the exchange of philosophers and lawyers’ (canonists’) reflections, including representatives of different fields of study. Coping with the issues undertaken in thematic annuals is – from its very assumption – an attempt of providing an answer to complex problems of the dynamically changing world: social, religious, cultural and civilizational. The confines of the subject matter reflection are delineated by a marked, by the means of the title of the first volume of the periodical triad: human being (person) – family – society, the source of inspiration of which is the most important document of the Second Vatican Council: Gaudium et Spes constitution. The initiative garners support from the institutional cooperation of scientists, chiefly from Europe and the United States of America.

The periodical “Philosophy and Canon Law” constitutes an open interdisciplinary forum for the exchange of philosophers and lawyers’ (canonists’) reflections, including representatives of different fields of study. Coping with the issues undertaken in thematic annuals is – from its very assumption – an attempt of providing an answer to complex problems of the dynamically changing world: social, religious, cultural and civilizational. As Prof. Leo D. Lefebure, the author of the first text, accurately notices the UN International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and Centessimus annus are the heirs of a long tradition of contemplation upon justice and the World”.

„Philosophy and Canon Law” 2018, Vol. 4: Contemporary Challenges of Education. Values – Norms – Legislation

Pavol Dancák, Tomasz Gałkowski, John P. Hittinger, Zdzisław Kieliszek, Damián Němec, Grażyna Osika, Andrzej Pastwa , Stanislav Přibyl, Małgorzata Tomkiewicz, Krzysztof Wieczorek, Mariusz Wojewoda, ed. Andrzej Pastwa

The periodical “Philosophy and Canon Law” constitutes an open interdisciplinary forum for the exchange of philosophers and lawyers’ (canonists’) reflections, including representatives of different fields of study. Coping with the issues undertaken in thematic annuals is – from its very assumption – an attempt of providing an answer to complex problems of the dynamically changing world: social, religious, cultural and civilizational. The jubilee context, connected with the anniversary of John Amos Comenius’ birthday, whose ideas four centuries ago were the ground plate of the modern system of education (and were the starting point of research works of such great thinkers as e.g. Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz or Johann Wolfgang von Goethe), became – in the fourth volume of the journal – an opportunity to confirm today the inspirational potential of the thought of the father of modern pedagogy and emphasize the significance of the issues defined by the means of the following title: Contemporary Challenges of Education: Values – Norms – Legislation.

„Philosophy and Canon Law” 2019, Vol. 5: Between the Culture of the Right to Responsible Parenthood and the Culture of the “New” Human Rights: Reproductive and Sexual (I)

Aneta Gawkowska, John P. Hittinger, Marian Machinek, Marek Petro, Marek Rembierz, Krzysztof Wieczorek, Mariusz Wojewoda, ed. Andrzej Pastwa

The periodical “Philosophy and Canon Law” constitutes an open interdisciplinary forum for the exchange of philosophers and lawyers’ (canonists’) reflections, including representatives of different fields of study. Coping with the issues undertaken in thematic annuals is – from its very assumption – an attempt of providing an answer to complex problems of the dynamically changing world: social, religious, cultural and civilizational. The leading thread of philosophical and legal contemplation in the next two volumes of the journal, triggered somehow by the context of the 50th anniversary of Paul VI’s Humanae Vitae Encyclical, concentrates around the issues defined by the title and subtitle of the first article by Prof. Marian Machinek: Reproductive Rights versus the Christian Culture of the Body. Two Different Perspectives. “The main point of the disagreement – according to the Autor – between the concept of reproductive rights and the Christian culture of the body concerns the meaning of human corporeality. For the former, human body is, in a certain way, ‘outside’ of the self-determining subject”. The entire volume constitutes an attempt of an answer to the recent appeal of Pope Francis: “We need to return to the message of the Encyclical Humanae Vitae” (Apostolic Exhortation Amoris Laetitia, n. 82).

The purpose of this scientific project is meaningfully underlined by the author of the text marking the beginning of the scientific contemplation, Prof. Jarosław Merecki. “To understand the philosophy of Karol Wojtyła, it is not enough to read this or that book; one has to make an effort to participate personally in the experiences that underlie his philosophy.

„Philosophy and Canon Law” 2022, Vol. 8/1: Nomos – Ethos – Oikonomia. In memory of Professor Józef Tischner

Pavol Dancák, Kathleen Haney, John P. Hittinger, Marek Petro, Krzysztof Wieczorek, Radovan Šoltés, Krzysztof Wielecki, ed. Andrzej Pastwa

Da questa parte onde ‘l fiore è maturo 
di tutte le sue foglie, sono assisi 
quei che credettero in Cristo venturo

Dante Alighieri 
Divina Commedia/Paradiso/Canto XXXII, 22-24

Through dedicating the next two volumes to the memory of Professors Rev. Józef Tischner and Rev. Remigiusz Sobański, the Editorial Board of “Philosophy and Canon Law” would like to express their gratitude in the form of a symbolic “rose.” The contemplation on the legacy and contribution to culture of these outstanding Thinkers, Teachers of the ethos of a scientist in limitless devotion to truth and its search – after all, makes us recall the mystical “rose” from Dante Alighieri’s world monument to literature. But also the one from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s masterpiece. As Stanisław Grygier inspiringly deduces – the presence of the “rose” gives the Little Prince’s life meaning and value, makes him free. In the bonds of his responsible love, the nation and society are born – the space for the spiritual development of man (ethos). Little Prince’s home (oikos), in which law (nómos) stems from love of the land, cultivated for the “rose” – i.e. the common good – constitutes what is called oikonomia.
