May 2004Polen denkt Europa
Politische Texte aus zwei Jahrhunderten
by Anne Altmayer, Jan Conrad, Jutta Conrad, Friedrich Griese, Ewa Heyde, Peter Oliver Loew, Peter Oliver Loew
Polens Traum: Europa. Polens Zweifel: Europa. Polens Realität: Europa. über die Jahrhunderte hinweg bewegte Europa die Polen, bewegte Polen Europa. Diskussionen entbrannten, Heere marschierten, Bücher erschienen, Grenzen verschwanden und entstanden, immer wieder: die Suche nach Heimat, Vaterland, Europa. Jahrhundertelang stellten sich die Menschen zwischen Warthe, Weichsel, Bug und Dniepr die Frage nach dem Kontext der Nation: War es Europa, sein Westen, sein Osten, der Orient? Oder lag Polen im Mittelpunkt einer echt ostmitteleuropäischen Tradition – als Kernland der Sarmaten, der ewig Leidenden, als 'Zwischeneuropa' irgendwo zwischen Rom, Moskau und Byzanz? Beendet die Aufnahme Polens in die Europäische Union im Mai 2004 die Suche Polens nach dem Ort der Nation in Europa? Peter Oliver Loew zeichnet in einer Auswahl von Berichten, Essays und Gedichten aus zwei Jahrhunderten die Entwicklung des polnischen Europadenkens nach. Der Band enthält Texte von Stanislaw Leopold Brzozowski, Jan Parandowski, Józef ChalasiDski, Pawel Hertz, Jaroslaw Marek Rymkiewicz, Marcin Król, Johannes Paul II., Tadeusz Mazowiecki, Czeslaw Milosz und vielen anderen.

October 2023Posttraumatische Souveränität
Ein Essay
by Jarosław Kuisz, Karolina Wigura, Dorothea Traupe
Mit dem Angriff Russlands auf die Ukraine ist die alte mitteleuropäische Angst zurück: Opfer der Großmächte zu werden. Anders als in Deutschland, von dessen Boden zwei Weltkriege ausgegangen sind, gab es in Warschau, Tallinn und anderswo kein Zögern. Nur wer selbst angegriffen und, wie Polen, sogar einmal ganz von der Landkarte getilgt wurde, versteht, dass militärische Selbstverteidigung gerechtfertigt ist. In ihrem luziden Essay beschreiben Karolina Wigura, Ideenhistorikerin, und Jarosław Kuisz, Politikwissenschaftler, wie der heutige Krieg historische Traumata reaktiviert; warum Warschau eine Führungsrolle in der europäischen Verteidigungspolitik übernimmt, obwohl die Regierungspartei PiS die EU als Bedrohung der eigenen Souveränität beschwört.

Before Amoris Laetitia
The Sources of the Controversy
by Jaroslaw Kupczak, Grzegorz Ignatik
The publication of Pope Francis’ post-synodal apostolic exhortation, Amoris Laetitia started the most important theological debate in the Catholic Church since the end of the Second Vatican Council. The cardinals, bishops, theologians, priests, lay Catholics found themselves on the opposite sides of this crucial and complicated discussion. This book attempts to shed some light on this debate by tracing its genealogy. Since Amoris Laetitia is a post-synodal document, the large part of the book is devoted to the theological analysis of the two Synods of Bishops convoked by Pope Francis in the first years of his pontificate: the extraordinary in October 2014 and the ordinary that took place a year later. The main topics for the two synods were determined, however, in the speech given by Cardinal Walter Kasper during the cardinals consistory in February 2014 whose main aim was to prepare the possibility of admitting divorced persons who live in second unions to Holy Communion. The arguments of Cardinal Kasper are presented in the first chapter of the book and confronted with the most significant statements of the Magisterium of the Church on the issue of admittance to the Holy Communion. This book is a study at the intersection of Church history, the history of theology, and systematic theology: dogmatic and moral. Kupczak is interested in the chronology of the events connected to the two synods on the family but in the context of theological problems discussed therein: the theological significance of contemporary cultural changes; the relation of the Church to the world; the understanding of the indissolubility of the sacramental marriage and the Eucharist; the methods of ethically assessing human acts, particularly the concept of so-called intrinsically evil acts (intrinsece malum); and the relation of conscience to the general moral norm. The non-partisan ambition of this book is to serve as a “road map”— a help in navigation for the reader in the complicated discussions leading to publication of Amoris Laetitia. The uniqueness of this book consists in combining the historical analysis of the events leading to the publication of Amoris Laetitia with research of the theological discussion that ensued. Since Amoris Laetitia is a post-synodal exhortation, this book rests on the assumption that crucial for its understanding is a thorough analysis of its genealogy. Only in the light of this historical and theological perspective the debates surrounding Amoris Laetitia may be understood.

Person and Act and Related Essays
by Karol Wojtyla, Grzegorz Ignatik, Carl A. Anderson
The Catholic University of America Press is honored to announce the publication of the first volume of the critical English edition of The Collected Works of Karol Wojtyła/John Paul II. In conjunction with an international editorial board, the English Critical Edition will comprise 20 volumes, covering all of his writings and correspondence both in the years before and during his papacy. What makes this collection so important is that access to his writings have been a significant challenge. Except for official papal addresses and documents preserved and disseminated by the Vatican, his works have been scattered and limited, or in need of a new translation. Finally, English-language audiences have faced the challenge, even in the case of published texts, of working across multiple languages and translations and of dealing with textual idiosyncrasies. The inaugural volume of this collection is Person and Act, together with related essays, which is in many respects constitutes Karol Wojtyła’s most profound and well-known philosophical work. Originally published in 1969 as Osoba I czyn, this work of metaphysics and philosophy is widely influential even though it is highly challenging intellectually and has heretofore posed difficulties for translators.
