| Summary: | Love and truth are the two attributes of a
well-functioning society. Unfortunately,
these two basic values are often being devalued in the modern world. The reason
for this is the lack of a
sense of justice.
Especially because in
the social and cultural
context the truth is often relativized. In this context it is worth analysing the
Pope
Benedict XVI’s encyclical
Caritas in Veritate
, in which one should pay attention to
a construction of the society in which today’s human person lives.
Love and truth are the two attributes of a
good society in with each human is
equipped. From the very beginning, the human person is called to be directed by
love and truth. He or she is called to this truth by his or her Christian life and ontic
dimension of his or her nature. Society without love and truth will be threatened
with agony, because it will not only stop developing but also its wrongly understood
economical status will become a
road to nowhere.
That is why we should definitely
accept the thesis that
homo economicus
must convert into
homo
religiosus
in the
name of love and truth, so that society will be good. Let love in truth leads to a
good
society, which the whole world is for us. |
