She was considered by many intellectualists as one of the most important figures of the 20th century humanities. Her thought combines the tradition of greek philosophy with the christian tradition, which is read by weil directly from the gospel. What differentiates weil’s thoughts and activities is the combination of various points of view and looking for balance and common parts in everything. In her public work she always supported the weaker and helpless ones, who were left for themselves. Her uncompromising moral attitude, readiness for the largest sacrifice in the name of justice, striving for truth, considering all the good as coming from God, who is the good, make weil a unique and incomparable figure. Familiarization with her life and activities can be a large stimulus for many people, who look for their own spirituality, and for philosophers and theologians, who like making everything rational and bringing her thoughts to mere concepts is quite a challenge for it parts from usual ways of thinking, presenting at the same time the new perspectives of looking at philosophy, religion, ethics.
Droga do Absolutu przez nicość w twórczości Emila Ciorana , 2016

From the first of his works, Cioran paid a lot of attention to problems of God, seeing in it a key priority for human existence. The article summarizes his path to the Absolute through nothingness, negation of all definitions of the Absolute of a negative theology represented in christianity by Dionysius the Areopagite, meister Eckhart, Nicholas of Cusa. for these authors, the highest form of knowledge of God is ignorance. a similar scheme of considerations about god can be found in Cioran’s works, even though he rejects the faith in God. however, he uses the method of negative theology in order to show that the concept of God and nothingness are synonymous. God goes beyond all human cognitive categories. The article presents the thesis that Cioran’s attitude oscillated between two extremes – one time he seems to opt to the thesis that through nothingness we reach the absolute, and in other situation he is closer to found that while searching the Absolute, we finally discover nothingness.
Wizja szwedzkiej apokalipsy w filmie „Pieśni z drugiego piętra” Roya Anderssona, 2013

the film in the spirit of the critique of the west, pursunig witkacy, horkheimer and marcuse, we can interpret this picture in categories of extreme
alienation of the contemporary human being. This interpretation becomes proved and enhanced by comparing Andersson’s film with theological work of his great fellow countryman, Emanuel Swedenborg, who claimed that judgment day will come when
“living love” will disappear and, thereby, the truth will be damaged. These both concepts have the same message. According to Andersson, contemporary societies, living without the hope (but needing it above all) are not able to exist without religion, which gives
people sense of their lives and provides a point of reference for making ethical decision.

“Ga-ga: Glory to the Heroes”. Its aim is to extract a cryptotheological vision of the world contained in this movie, by compiling it with Christian theology, understood as the defined concept of the world. An important point of reference will by the postsecular thought, which sees the hidden choice of theological nature in even the most secularized way of thinking. At the outset, an understanding of the terms of “theology” and “cryptotheology” will be presented. Then, there will be an analysis of time and spaces in the movie. An application to analyze the movie concept of the performance of G. Debord will be a crucial aspect of the undertaken considerations. In the conclusion, there will be an analysis of the concept of sacrifice, which is fundamental to the subject, included in the movie and referenced in the concept of R. Girard.

Piotr Szulkin’s tetralogy
The text contains an analysis of Piotr Szulkin’s film tetralogy in the perspective of visual theology. By focusing on the role of the image in the film work, it tries to bring out the hidden theology. The Polish director perceives man as a tragic being, who seeks a place in a world unfavorable to him. Szuklin’s lives in a world deprived of God, but longing for “something else” makes him constantly look for and ask about the meaning of his own existence, and maybe even for little salvation.
