Słowo wstępne
W nauce jest bardzo wiele ciekawych pojęć. Jednym z nich jest «inteligibilność». Co ono oznacza i dlaczego jest wysoce inspirujące? Czy w ogóle jest sensowne? Przeglądając różne słowniki, dowiemy się, że łacińskie słowo intelligibilis oznacza «poznawalny». Już z tego wyciągamy prosty wniosek: wszystko, co charakteryzuje się inteligibilnością, jest poznawalne. Zatem cokolwiek poznajemy, o tyle poznajemy, o ile to coś ma w sobie ten atrybut czy parametr.
W filozofii mówi się o inteligibilności bytu, a więc o takiej jego właściwości, dzięki której może być on poznany, czyli ujęty intelektualnie. Bytem jest to, co „jest”, co istnieje. A jeżeli istnieje, to może być i jest przedmiotem poznawania intelektualnego. Istniejący byt przemawia, opowiada, manifestuje swoją obecność. Wyraźnie daje znać o sobie. Może nawet i prosi czy błaga: poznaj mnie!
I teraz to, co najpiękniejsze:
[…] podstawą inteligibilności jest transcendentalna prawda, czyli ponadkategorialna relacja przyporządkowania bytu do intelektu; poznawalność i prawdziwość opierają się na transcendentaliach takich, jak rzecz, jedność i odrębność, ściśle związanych z pierwszymi zasadami bytu i myślenia: tożsamości, niesprzeczności, wyłączonego środka i racji dostatecznej; opierając się na tych zasadach (znanych intuicyjnie każdemu człowiekowi – principia per se nota), poznaje się rzeczywistość oraz przeprowadza rozumowanie” (zob. P. Jaroszyński. Inteligibilność. Encyklopedia katolicka. T. 7 kol. 356).
Aż prosi się powiedzieć: Szanowny Czytelniku, niech Twój umysł pracuje, niech Twoja inteligencja nie umiera. Myśl i poznawaj! Po prostu odważnie myśl – poznając i poznawaj – myśląc. Niech to się spełnia podług ewangelijnego wezwania: „Zostaw umarłym grzebanie ich umarłych, a ty idź i głoś Królestwo Boże!” (Łk 9,60).

THE MEANING OF THE INCULTURATION OF THE LITURGY
Abstract. Inculturation concerns the history of Christianity and is an event that covers every cultural area of the world. Inculturation is as old as the Bible itself. It is universal in nature, i.e. it includes all people, everywhere and at all times. The inculturation of the liturgy is about the inculturation of worship, and it was ultimately the focus of the reform work that was begun at the Second Vatican Council. This inculturation concerns not only the Young Churches, the so-called mission countries, but also the “old Christian” countries of Europe. Since inculturation is a phenomenon “Through the Church, with the Church and in the Church”, the liturgy should also participate fully in pastoral work.
Key words: inculturation, liturgy, historical processes, Church, Second Vatican Council.

TOPICALITY OF THE SALESIAN PREVENTIVE SYSTEM IN THE WORK OF EVANGELIZATION OF CONTEMPORARY YOUTH
Abstract. Education in accordance with the spirit of the Salesian preventive system is a proposal of a particular anthropological vision of a human being, which enables the pupils to discover their own abilities. This system, based upon three pillars: intellect, religion and love, helps the young people to understand what kind of people they should be in order to realize themselves as fully free and rational people. Bearing in mind the damage that is currently occurring in the field of upbringing and education of the young generation, the education system of Fr. Bosco remains extremely relevant and needed.
Key words: preventive system, St. John Bosco, education, youth, Salesians, evangelization, intellect, religion, love, oratory.

Abstract. How to defend free will? There is an ongoing debate in science between determinism, libertarianism and compatibilism. This discussion is becoming clearer at the level of neuroscience and economics. Taken together, libertarianism and compatibilism are the most probable answer whether the free will is really free or not. These two approaches to the free will show the complexity of the issue at the same time. On the individual level, it seems to be that the human being is free in the libertarian sense. However, living in a society and benefiting from this fact, freedom begins to be restricted so that the human being to be predictable. In this way, libertarianism becomes to be determined to compatibilism. Libertarianism and compatibilism present the most coherent concept of human freedom. Determinism, on the other hand, can be treated as a factor narrowing libertarianism to compatibilism.
Key words: economic approach, determinism, libertarianism, compatibilism, free will.
