Świętego Jana od Krzyża wizja zjednoczenia człowieka z Bogiem. Analiza filozoficzna
Journal Title: Studia Gilsoniana - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
"St. John of the Cross’s Vision of Man’s Union with God. A Philosophical Analysis:" The article considers the grounds for man’s fulfillment through his union with God. It analyzes the problem through the writings of St. John of the Cross. The analysis is focused on: (1) the need for accommodation of bodily elements to the soul in man, (2) the ways of knowing God as the highest degree of qualities present imperfectly in man, and experiencing God as the One who supports man’s life, grants him His graces, and loves him, (3) the adaptational relationship between man and God. The author concludes that man’s union with God transforms him into God through his personal (i.e., conscious and voluntary) participation.
