Pilgrimage and the Therapeutic Processes of Spiritual Reintegration in Medjugorje
Artificial Intelligence, Neurodiversity, and Trust
The paper examines the relationship between artificial intelligence (AI), neurodiversity, and trust. It aims to address the gap in understanding the impact AI has on neurodivergent individuals. First, it provides a general introduction to neurodiversity, highlighting its variations and societal significance. Second, the paper introduces AI, focusing on its potential to support neurodivergent individuals in overcoming challenges related to communi…
Religion and Society
The interplay between society, culture, and religion has significantly shaped humanity throughout history. This article explores interdisciplinary theories that highlight how religion and society are interconnected within a biological framework. Recent advances in cognitive science and neuroscience have prompted a deeper examination of religion’s adaptive value regarding survival and reproduction. Religious beliefs have been proposed as mechanism…
Creativity, Autism and Relationship to God
People with different needs and abilities continue to be marginalized by society, including by church communities. One of these groups is people on the autism spectrum. Disability theology seeks to point to the dignity of every human being as an imago Dei, and as a gift of God. In search of perspectives that will contribute to a clearer understanding of this truth and the overcoming of prejudice and marginalization, this paper analyzes the phenom…
Pain, Life, and God
Pain is a ubiquitous phenomenon. Since the beginnings of philosophical thought, the question of the nature and origin of pain has developed. However, it also raises the question of how an omnipotent and morally perfect God can allow so much pain and suffering in the world. In this paper, we analyze the findings of biology and evolutionary medicine to better understand the phenomenon of pain. Based on these insights, we then seek to enrich theolog…
Is It Harmful? A Thomistic Perspective on Risk Science in Social Welfare
Religious Freedom, Cybersecurity, and the Stability of Society
Although religious freedom significantly affects certain people, the guarantees for its observance also have implications for the quality of social life and the security of the state. Polarization and conflict between religious groups is not only a conflict for new believers, but also contributes to the weakening of the internal state. It seems that one of the elements of such a destabilization of states is the promotion and lack of reaction to t…
Does it work? A scholastic epistemology perspective on evidence-based practice in social welfare
Contemporary “knowledge” relies increasingly on probabilistic data. A key example is the “evidence” for the effectiveness of health and social welfare interventions. Such claims to “knowing” require an epistemological underpinning. This paper explores the concept of probabilistic knowledge, evidence and “proof” which underpin claims for the effectiveness of social welfare interventions from the perspective of scholastic epistemology. It provides …
Microaggressions and discriminatory behaviour towards religious education teachers in polish schools
The article presents the results of a qualitative survey conducted in 2019, in which 2.558 catholic religious education (RE) teachers working in state schools participated. The results indicate the existence of various forms of microaggressions towards religion teachers at school. First, the article analyses the relation between RE teachers and the management within the school environment – therein parents, other teachers and students – concernin…
Introduction to the Special Issue
In these "pandemic years" a number of scientific and humanistic questions arise
Is Religion Only Utilitarian? Evolutionary Cognitive Science of Religion Through a Thomistic Lens
The cognitive and evolutionary science of religion has found new and interesting ways to describe and interpret religion and religious behaviour. The main working framework of cognitive and evolutionary approaches considers religion only in the perspective of its usefulness for the survival of the individual or group. We named this “the utilitarian framework of religion.” After the introduction into these scientific disciplines, we provided a wid…
Using risk factor statistics in decision-making
Society expects social workers and other professionals to use the best available knowledge in making decisions. Statistical (numerical) data are rapidly becoming an increasing part of the repertoire of knowledge available to professionals. However, social workers can at times seem reluctant to use statistics to inform their judgement processes when considering the assessment and seriousness of risk factors. This paper explores and considers the p…

Neuroscientific findings in the light of Aquinas' understanding of the human being
Neuroscience is one of the most propulsive of all sciences and very often, directly or not, it tries to answer the question: What is man? However, neuroscientific research does not acknowledge the concept of man as a unity of body and soul. The modern scientific research paradigm therefore rests on physicalism, while theologians are turning towards non-reductive physicalism. In this paper, we will highlight a few key points of the theory of philo…
Welcome to the desert of post-socialism
The radicality of love
Welcome to the Desert of Transition
The world's attention has been on the political transformations in the Middle East, the wave of protests from Tel Aviv to Madrid to Wall Street, and the ongoing Greek crisis. But in the shadow of this unrest, the post-socialist Balkans have been boiling. Protests displaying for the most part social demands broke out throughout 2011 in Romania, Albania, Serbia, Macedonia and, most notably, Croatia. Post-socialist citizens today feel largely exclud…
