Tomáš Cyril Havel

Caritas et veritas 2020, 10(2):76-87 | DOI: 10.32725/cetv.2020.028  

The article offers an insight into an unusual discourse in the Czech environment. It reflects upon the complementarity of religion and fairy tale. It points to the presence of fairy-tale motives in biblical texts and religious motives in fairy tales. Both are illustrated in the context of Christianity by a commentary on the fairy tale Cinderella by the Brothers Grimm. With regard to religious pedagogical discourse, it then invites a narrative turn in religious education, names specific consequences for practice, and points to the possibility of developing a relationship between religious education and fairy tales.

Lukáš Jeník

Caritas et veritas 2020, 10(2):101-113 | DOI: 10.32725/cetv.2020.030  

The significance of the ancient tragedies is still relevant. Their constant inspiration for education lies, among other things, in their contribution to the issue of finding the essence of human nature. Aeschylus' work is one of the key milestones in literature, but it is also an example of the formation of specific (non-philosophical) answers to the question of man and his essence. The aim of the analysis of the trilogy Oresteia is to present selected aspects of this thinking which reflects and foreshadows problems in the philosophy of the 5th century BC. The study also focuses on the instrumental value of tragedy. Tragedy (not systematically, but...

Josef Nota

Caritas et veritas 2020, 10(2):130-146 | DOI: 10.32725/cetv.2020.032  

In a narrative way, the article presents the background of the events that led to the inclusion of the discipline of authorial reading in the teaching of a particular lower basic school. The initial assumption is that authorial reading can be a suitable alternative to the development of key competencies in addition to the practice of stylistic units. Based on the obtained data, the main goal is to formulate one's own pedagogical experience at the school during an eight-year practice with authorial reading. The secondary goal is to use case studies to illustrate the ways in which specific students (and parents) can approach authorial reading.

Godforsakenness: Is Christian Unbelief Possible?

Yulia Vintoniv

Caritas et veritas 2020, 10(2):189-198 | DOI: 10.32725/cetv.2020.037  

The article is dedicated to the phenomenon of Godforsakenness viewed from philosophical and theological perspectives. The article presents the conception of the experience of Godforsakenness as a key element in finding spiritual reconciliation. Attention is focused on the fact that belief is impossible without (the despair of) Godforsakenness, the collapse of meaning, and the cry to God for help. Having compared the thoughts of A. Camus and C. S. Lewis, we will argue that the suffering of a human being appears in the centre of comprehension for both. The combination of critical positions of Albert Camus and C. S. Lewis provides the ground for asserting...
