Sažetak
The present article is based on a book entitled Meeting the Others in their Differences: Toward a Christian Approach to the Scientific Study of Religions. The main purpose of this book is to describe and analyze the structure of religious discourses. It claims that it is possible to classify these discourses into four categories or what I called modes of resolution. The first mode is the ritual mode of resolution and it encompasses all the traditions whose purpose is to predict and control the forces of the world. The second mode, the mystical mode of resolution, comprises all mystical traditions aspiring to liberation from this world. The discourses of the third mode, the relational mode of resolution, are based on the idea that this world has been created by a transcendental Being who has directly revealed as His Will a code of laws regulating the relations between the members of a given community. The fourth mode is called the mode of the cross. It is specific to the Christian discourse. Although the model of the four modes of resolution has chiefly been used in the book to understand the structure of the religious discourses, it may be extended to explore other categories of discourses related to such areas of human activity as science and politics. The present article is an example of such an exploration. It considers various topics connected to interpersonal relations, self-perception in social context, and the perception of the other with some references to current social issues, in particular, the cancel culture and the woke movement.
