Essays on the Personalism of Karol Wojtyła

The book deals with the philosophy of the human person as worked out by Karol Wojtyła . It presents a number of fundamental issues necessary to understand Karol Wojtyła’s personalism . Thus, first it undertakes Wojtyła’s move from the philosophy of the human being to the philosophy of the human person; second, it presents Wojtyła’s epistemological approach to the person against the background of other philosophies concerned with the human person; third, it describes the metaphysical structure of the person; four, it analyses the person’s selected faculties (consciousness, emotions); five, it presents some aspects of the action of the person (a person’s causation, or their role in dialogue); and finally, it tries to sketch the problem of personal dignity .

Fundamentals of Interreligious Education and Didactics from a MuslimChristian Perspective

Religious and cultural diversity are increasingly visible today . At the same time, increased fear of the «other» has manifested, particularly of the Islamic religion . Islam today is considered a «problematic» religion . This attitude yields many challenges in universities and schools, particularly when it comes to religious education . The Institute for Islamic Theology and Religious Education and the Catholic Religious Education Department at the University of Innsbruck are addressing these challenges, having spearheaded a program of intensive cooperation in teacher education – including courses on pedagogy, religious didactics, internships, and evidence-based learning processes in schools and universities . This research and teaching collaboration lacked an appropriate framework . This book provides a solid basis for interreligious pedagogy and didactics . Authentic interreligious cooperation begins by promoting intra- and inter-religious self-confidence and self-understanding . This required countless discussions among the authors, which yielded distinct viewpoints as well as commonalities . In this way the anthropological starting point for this book emerged and is expanded through a theological perspective on religious education and didactics . Various approaches and attitudes are developed and examined, including contingency sensibility, to support the competent planning, management, and evaluation of educational processes in pluralistic and heterogeneous fields .
