Apologetic (Ab)uses of Scientific Concepts
The second law of thermodynamics and the concept of entropy have been used by Catholic thinkers for almost a century to argue for the divine creation of the universe and the existence of God—contributions of Franz Brentano (1869) and Pope Pius XII (1951) were turning points. This article presents examples of how the concept of entropy were used by Polish Catholic theologians and philosophers between 1870 and 1955. Based on the analysis, we draw m…
Contemporary Theologies of Science in the Light of Bonaventure's De Reductione Artium ad Theologiam
For some time now, regardless of the still-common paradigm of Barbour's practice of science-religion relations, proposals have been emerging to develop a theology of science from a Christian perspective. This article begins by discussing three theologies of science as proposed by Michael (Michał) Heller, Christopher B. Kaiser, and Tom McLeish. It then goes on to present the theological vision of the arts and sciences as contained in the work De r…

The Reception of Neptune’s Discovery in British and American Protestant Theology
The discovery of the planet Neptune in 1846, first theoretically and then observationally, was a 19th-century event that went beyond the interests of the narrow group of astronomers of the time. Indeed, the significance of this event is still a subject of interest among historians and philosophers of science. During the period discussed, natural theology played a special cognitive and social role, forming the basis for arguments based on the new …
The Theory of Relativity and Theology
Attempts to establish a dialogue between the natural sciences and theology were made in the 20th century along with, among other things, the arrival of new groundbreaking theories in physics, but these attempts met with many content-related and methodological challenges. Philosophy, which plays an essential role as an intermediary in this relationship, has often proven to be a significant obstacle. The failure of neo-Thomism’s reception to Einste…
Zainteresowania inżynierskie i wynalazki Isaaca Newtona
Artykuł przedstawia zainteresowania inżynierskie Isaaca Newtona, w tym niektóre z jego wynalazków technicznych. Temat ten nie doczekał się jak dotąd szerszego i pogłębionego opracowania. W artykule poruszono młodzieńcze pasje Newtona na tle literatury z zakresu tzw. magii matematycznej. Omówiono także dwa wynalazki Newtona – wariant teleskopu zwierciadłowego i oktant morski. Na koniec został przytoczony przykład zaangażowania autora Zasad w dysku…
Trójwymiarowe modele matematyczne na przykładzie obiektów ze zbiorów Muzeum Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego
W artykule podajemy przykłady modeli matematycznych, obecnie niemal zapomnianych, które jeszcze kilkadziesiąt lat temu odgrywały wielką rolę w dydaktyce matematyki. Z końcem XIX wieku powstała prężna produkcja tych modeli na użytek szkół i uczelni. W Muzeum UJ zachowały się w doskonałym stanie trzy takie modele. Three-dimensional mathematical models illustrated by objects from the collections of the Jagiellonian University Museum Abstract This pa…
