Kosmologinių idėjų funkcija ir jos realizacija: ugdomoji ekologinio sąmoningumo katalikiškoje kultūroje dimensija

Abstract

The aim of the article is to reveal the possibilities to reach consensus between science, technologies and religion sciences through philosophical analysis of the development towards logical foundation of physical existence that has been relevant in all times, discussing contemporary problems of personal culture in the relations between technological processes and science, which leaves purely natural sphere far behind and tries to protect it in environmental terms. Furthermore, the article introduces practical spread of the function of cosmological ideas, as motivation for realisation of transcendental reflections, in Catholic religion teaching in Klaipėda secondary schools. Summarising school children's' answers, it is stated that no holistic way of thinking encouraging integrated interpretation of phenomena and environmental consciousness has been developed, despite this issue being discussed in the curricula for many years. It is concluded that the function of classical cosmological ideas serves as a sufficient basis for intuition motivating for transcendental reflections. It is stated that natural science in the context of discoveries of modern micro- and astrophysics raises logical questions of the origin of the world, its development and purpose-oriented direction in pursuit of the outcome, formulations of which coincide with the their conventional philosophical-theological expressions. The author believes that insufficient practical spread of the function of cosmological ideas showed the stencil situation of religious education. The function of cosmological ideas is stated to be directly related with the development of holistic- environmental in broad sense consciousness in the context of both naturalistic world outlook and Catholic culture reflections.
