RELIGIOUS-TRANSCENDENT IMPLICATIONS OF HEALTH: METHODO-ONTOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE OF (JUDEO-)CHRISTIANITY

Abstract
Agreeing with Vladeta Jerotić’s view that the sphere of religiosity, insofar as human life is concerned, is the most refined, the deepest, and the most sensitive of all spheres, the author seeks, through the example of Health, to demonstrate that the constant presence of God’s Spirit in the human being — neshamah (נשמה ) in Judaism, in the “nose” (and in Serbian no-zdr(a)-va), when man became man at God’s command — is, according to Judeo-Christian belief, constitutive of both human freedom and love, that is, freedo(m)love.
The research therefore aims to offer a kind of introduction to the Judeo-Christian eschatology of Health, whose linear circle began in the Garden of Eden before the primordial sin, after which the fall into Illness occurred; and only with the appearance of Christ did it begin once again to ascend toward the ideal of primordial Health.
In this way, Waldenfels’ (somewhat ironic) thesis that the head of the Church, or the Church itself, “takes care of the general mental health” of all others will be examined within a method-ontological framework.
