Pessimism — Sexual Revolution — Peace

Ivan Fuček ; Papinsko učilište Gregorijana u Rimu, Rim, Hrvatska

Sažetak

The theme aspires to be a contribution for the International Year of Peace 1986, proclaimed by the ONU, at the occasion of the 40th anniversary of its existence.
The author sees a triple burden which has been imposed upon the young generation and which emphasizes very much the responsibility of the educators and of the young people themselves. This burden, which has been dictated by the present situation in the world, has been viewed from the ethical and pedagogical aspect.
1. The question is, in the first place, about the pessimistic situation which acts as a hermeneutical place for understanding so many problems, especially two of them, which are the theme in the further developments of the article. The world pessimism shows a sinusoid towards the negative to the integral pessimism, even with religious characteristics. The strongest „crying voice", directed to the young, the voice of hope and optimism is the voice of the Pope John Paul II, in many of his appearances.
2. In order to get out of the crisis, besides other causes, recommendations have been given and directed by the authorities to the young that the sexual revolution has the capacity to liberate personally and to save the society. But the actualization of that suggestion, as well in its manifestations and even more in its effects, proved to be as a complete Utopia.
3. One more suggestion has proved to be a complete Utopia, namely, to create a real peace in the worl through the balance of nuclear armament between the blocks. Already 20 years ago the Council reacted against the Utopia with the constitution Gaudium et spes, and now, in a special way, the same Pope. Some of his newest documents and ethical principles have been analyzed, especially the one „about the tolerance of the gradual disarmament". Apeals directed to educators and to young people have been emphasized.
