Abstract

'Tradition' is a contradictory concept with strong ideological burdens. On the one hand, the concept strongly connotes 'repetition', 'fixity' and 'changelessness'; on the other hand, it is diametrically opposed to the concept of 'change', 'dynamism' and 'transformation'. As a form of repetition, tradition is seen as an opposite of change, because it only repeats what 'has been'. However, through a comprehensive interpretation of the concept, it can be argued that the concept of tradition can connote both 'repetition' and 'change'. As a form of repetition, tradition is not totally separated from and immune to a particular pace of change,  innovation or even transformation. This is because there is not only a  'static repetition', but also a 'dynamic repetition' that produces change and difference. Here, I want to stress a 'transformation of tradition'. There are several ways through which a tradition can be  transformed: 1)  reinterpretation of particular forms of tradition; 2) transaesthetics discourse as a dialogues between tradition and other cultures; 3) cultural exchange as a complex process of exchange and selection; 4) critical openness as an inclusive attitude to external cultures; and 5) knowledge differentiation as the enhancement of knowledge of a tradition.

Abstract

Philosophical and theological reflections claim evil as thebinary opposite of the good. This way of thinking cannotunderstand the evil of terror. To understand the nature of evilwe need a poetic way of thinking. A poetic way of thinking goesbeyond the binary of good and evil. Dostoyevsky locates evilwithin us contingent and finite human beings. Only byacknowledging this we can gain freedom to act and create.

Abstract

After comparatively analizing Rerum Novarum and Octogesima Adveniens, this paper examines how the historical context of the documents has influenced the Catholic Church's stance on the role of women in public life. Leo XIII, in his encyclical Rerum Novarum, despite his denouncement of inhuman situations of the working class under capitalistic system, gave little attention to the unjust and inhuman situations endured by women. He still held the view that women are primarily destined to do domestic works and not to involve themselves in public areas. Paul VI in his Octogesima Adveniens gave better role to women in society. He promoted the principle of equal opportunities among men and women in social, economic, politic and cultural activities. The research shows that the sensibility of the Catholic Church  towards the real problems of injustice does grow along with the sign of the Times and with the changes of contexts.
