Karel Skalický: fundamental theology in the existential horizon of thinking

| Summary: | We are all parts of certain traditions. When we decide to walk some way, we are never completely alone. We have to consider those who preceded us on the roads and paths we walk. We have contact with those who walk with us. And last but not least, we have to think about those who will follow in our footsteps. In the process of our own education and growth we encounter those who teach us to read maps. And we meet others, who initiate us into the rules of traveling. Some present theories (maps) show us how to dwell in the labyrinth of the world and its landscapes that we eventually decide to travel and walk. Some skilful globetrotters know that maps are not the same as actual landscapes. They know that theories are not identical with practice, but both are necessary for us to have a complete picture of our surroundings. In other words, maps usually tell us that there is a river or a bush up ahead. But they do not tell us how deep the river crossing is, or how thick the bushes are for when we need to go through them. |
