Pro-existence as a Challenge for Contemporary Man
Helena Słotwińska
Abstract
This article on pro-existence, which is a real challenge for contemporary man, presents the issue by discussing three points. It begins with (1) showing the situation of contemporary man that brings real threats (unfavorable changes in moral values and norms, permissiveness, relativism, moral nihilism, incorrect concept of freedom, modernism, postmodernism, postmodern anti-pedagogy, pedagogy of so-called ideological neutrality, cultural crisis, hunger and misery in many countries, illiteracy, military extermination of the world). Then, the second point (2) is the remedy for these threats, which is respect for another human being as a condition for the restoration of universal brotherhood based on the Bible (man as the “image of God”) and theological and philosophical reflection. The last point (3) gives an example of how humanity can once again enter the path of love. The example is embodied by Jesus Christ with His pro-existence – living His life not for Himself, but “for others”, for man − for his salvation and happiness.
