  1. Rethinking the Concept of “Property” in Politics: Slavish or Free Domination?Paul de Lacvivier - 2025 - Studia Gilsoniana 14 (1):93-118.
    This paper seeks to rediscover the traditional meaning of “property” in the light of Thomistic philosophy and the practice of ancient legal texts, both in the West and in the Far East, in order to better grasp the reality of slavery analyzed not according to modern property law, but according to the traditional conception of this “property,” considered as a bond of political domination more than as a right to use and abuse. This change of perspective is necessary to the (...)

  2. Prattein-Poiein-Pathein: Foundational Elements for a Personalist Understanding of Culture.Ricardo Marcelino Rivas García - 2025 - Studia Gilsoniana 14 (1):9-24.
    Philosophical personalism has placed special emphasis on the dynamic dimension of man, identifying his actions (conscious, voluntary, and free) with his very essence. However, little or no attention has been given to the “passive” dimension, that is, the receptive and needy aspect that also characterizes the essence of the person. This study aims to recover the dimension we will call “pathetikós,” which provides elements for not only a balanced or integral view of the person but also justifies the social and (...)

    St. Thomas Aquinas’s Teaching on Love as a Component of Karol Wojtyła’s Project of Finding an Adequate Interpretation of the Love Between a Man and a Woman.Karol Petryszak - 2025 - Studia Gilsoniana 14 (1):45-67.
    The article presents a hitherto unknown lecture by Karol Wojtyła in 1954, discussing St. Thomas Aquinas’ teaching on love. Wojtyła juxtaposes this teaching with the philosophy of Max Scheler and unequivocally argues for a Thomistic understanding of love. In the article, I discuss how Wojtyła understood love in general after St. Thomas and then situate love between a man and a woman within its framework. The conclusion of this juxtaposition and the argumentation is that only multidimensional love between a man (...)

  5. State, Culture and Religion in the Preamble of the 1997 Constitution of the Republic of Poland:Considerations in Relation to the Aristotelian-Thomistic Tradition.Wojciech Ryba - 2025 - Studia Gilsoniana 14 (1):69-91.
    This paper demonstrates the symbiotic, real bond between the existence of the state, culture and religion, through which a person living in a national community can strive to achieve Aristotelian eudaimonia. The expression of this bond can be found, among other things, in the solemn Preamble to the Constitution of the Republic of Poland of April 2, 1997, in which the Constituent Assembly, establishing the very foundation of the state’s order, referred to God, emphasizing the importance of Poland’s Christian heritage. (...)

  6. La importancia de Tomás de Aquino en la búsqueda filosófica de la sabiduría.Tomasz Łach - 2025 - Studia Gilsoniana 14 (1):25-44.
    The article deals with the role of Thomas Aquinas in the philosophical search for wisdom. The author first indicates what were the origins of philosophy, how and where it was born, then shows why the pursuit of understanding knowledge is something natural for man as a rational. The author then points out that philosophy is a wisdom cognition which, although initiated out of astonishment, is not limited to it. The purpose of philosophizing is to acquire wisdom knowledge - that is, (...)
