TY - JOUR TI - Selfhood versus Sameness: between Christian Hope and Evolutionary Naturalism AU - Grzywacz, Robert TI - Selfhood versus Sameness: between Christian Hope and Evolutionary Naturalism AB - The present study examines the dialectical relationship between the two emblematic factors of human identity distinguished by Paul Ricoeur – character and keeping one’s word. The first part of the text will articulate objections to the philosophical significance of this distinction in the order of justification, as well as suspicions about its non-philosophical genesis and, consequently, regarding its philosophicality in the order of discovery. The second part of the article presents an interpretive proposal for another justification of the dialectic under consideration – a justification inspired by the post-secular thought of Jürgen Habermas, which, moreover, grows out of a different context of discovery, as it engages in the debate on freedom from the standpoint of naturalistic determinism and evolutionary theory. It seems, therefore, that invoking the position of a prominent Frankfurter can provide an interesting counterpoint to the indicated suspicions.  VL - 2021 IS - Volume 68 SN - 0867-5392 C1 - 2084-3887 SP - 65 EP - 83 DO - 10.4467/20843887PI.21.003.18693 UR - https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/principia/article/bycie-soba-a-bycie-tym-samym-miedzy-chrzescijanska-nadzieja-a-ewolucyjnym-naturalizmem KW - sameness KW - selfhood KW - habit KW - attention KW - time KW - hope KW - cultural programs
