Abstract

Søren Kierkegaard triggered a movement of the existentialist philosophical schools. He brought back philosophy to the real meaning of human life. The true meaning does not depend on a speculative truth, but on the real life existence. Jean Paul Sartre put emphasis on the free choice to grasp a real meaning of life. One makes choice from some alternatives. Subsequently one has to be responsible of one’s choice. Sartre’s philosophical idea and statements became favorite of his time. Gabriel Marcel wrote his philosophical reflection with his high appreciation to the human being as mystery. The relation between “I and thou”, even “I and Thou” have given a different angle to Sartre’s. What are the significance of the existentialist schools for our contemporary society?

Abstract

St. Augustine of Hippo was a restless seeker of truth. Never during more than seventy years of his life was there a period of quiet and security. This kind of life influenced greatly his way of thinking and finally his writings in philosophy and theology. Indeed, almost all his writings were polemical and controversial. In particular, his teaching on "the journey of soul toward God" was a great intellectual achievement in the history of theology as well as philosopy. His own restless soul came into maturity through that teaching, and eventually became a priviledged point of reference.
