Spirituality and scientificity in the work of Željko Mardešić
Ivan Supičić
Sažetak
Although Mardešić's spiritual and scientific approach in his work cannot be separated, they must be distinguished. His apiritual approach , far from diminishing it, greatly enriches his scientific work. The psychological dimension is one of the best examples for this. It is just through it that Mardešić reaches the rootes of some essential problems of the contemporary world. Today's man is exposed in it to numerous splits, self-deceptions, illusions and false appearances: he is able to lie to himself and to others, to be true or alienated, just to appear or really to be. This can grow even to collective dimensions and assume a triple face of responsibility, guilt and sin. Mardešić examines their personal, social, ontological and religious aspects and distinguishes real guilt from the feeling of guilt (culpability) which does not correspomnd necessarily to the first and point out that culpability belongs to the field of psychology, the real guilt to that of ethics and sin to that of religion. He considers that in Christianism too often the realism of sin was substituted with a pheomenology of culpability, with its play of illusions and masks. Some Mardešić's conclusions about Church and Christianism witness of an interconnection of their spiritual and scientific aspects. According to Mardešić, the Church should be a Church of poor and neglected, of goodness and compassionate humanness, of hope and joy, of reconciliation and forgiveness and of sincere dialogue with the contemporary world. Mardešić is also deeply committed to an entirely personalistic Christianism, outside of any collectivistic and ideological visions, to cessation of its linking with politics, which led in history to worst deformations, and to trust in freedom and in free man. The world can be changed only if we change ourselves first.
