| Sažetak | Tema je ovoga diplomskog rada „Zdravlje u svjetonazoru New age-a“. Ovaj diplomski rad obuhvaća pitanje odnosa suvremene kulture i kršćanstva prema zdravlju te odgovara na pitanje što zdravlje predstavlja za današnjega čovjeka. Obrađuje se i pitanje što suvremena kultura i medicina navode o zdravlju. Kršćanski i biblijski aspekt zdravlja predstavljen je u svjetlu crkvenih dokumenata. Rad se dotiče i nekih tipično kršćanskih terapija kao što su kristoterapija i hagioterapija te kršćanstvu bliskoga, ali ne identičnoga pojma logoterapije. Analizira se pojava kulta tijela i fitnesomanije, odnosno pretjerana briga za tjelesno zdravlje te se ne zaobilazi ni slučaj odsutnosti sakramentalnoga života vjernika za vrijeme pandemije koronavirusa. Rad nastoji pojasniti nastanak fenomena New age-a; kada i gdje se pojavljuje, koji su mu korijeni, novu antropologiju, i ono najvažnije što New age kaže o zdravlju. Prikazane su tehnike koje Novo doba koristi u iscjeljenju ljudi, napose prisutnije u Hrvatskoj. New age teži postaviti jednoumlje mišljenja; novu paradigmu i medicinu, odnosno novi svjetski poredak. Istražuju se opasnosti koje Novo doba donosi za čovječanstvo i izazove pred koje stavlja medicinu i samu Crkvu zahvaćenu krizom, otuđenjem i dehumanizacijom. Holizam New age-a i kršćanstva nastoji objasniti kako New age i kršćanstvo gledaju na čovjeka kao cjelinu u procesu iscjeljenja. Bilo je važno rasvijetliti temeljne pojmove, koje su terapije nespojive s kršćanskim naukom, a spadaju u sferu nekonvencionalne, alternativne i medicine New age-a, a koje bi mogle biti kompatibilne. Naime, ostavlja se mjesta za kritički osvrt o kojemu govori i crkveno učiteljstvo. Ključno je provizorno izvješće Papinskoga vijeća za kulturu i Papinskoga vijeća za međureligijski dijalog „Isus Krist – donositelj vode žive“ koji iz kršćanske perspektive promišlja o pojavi New age-a i svim nespojivim učenjima koje New age nudi čovjeku; od tantričkih korijena do mističnih doživljaja ozdravljenja koji imaju skrivene i opasne namjere po zdravlje čovjeka. Također se navode i pozitivni aspekti New age-a iz kojih postmoderno kršćanstvo može učiti, kao i oni aspekti u kojima je Crkva zakazala. Kroz rad se analizira pitanje smisla patnje, trpljenja i važnost Krista kao jedinoga holističkoga liječnika svih ljudi. Na posljetku, ovaj je rad pokušao ponuditi odgovore i smjernice vezane za pojavu i perspektivu New age praksi u današnjem društvu, što je potrebno učiniti ponajprije po pitanju terapijskoga i zdravstvenoga učinka gledano iz svjetonazora Crkve, psihoterapije, medicine i društva. |
| Sažetak (engleski) | Understanding health in the world view of New age is of great importance. The thesis brings light to unveiling the relationship between contemporary culture and Christianity regarding health, as well as that health represents for the man of today. A problematic that concearns contemporary culture ́s and medicine ́s point of view on health has also been brought to attention. Importance of Christian and biblical aspects of health have been displayed and presented through a variety of church documents. The thesis reflects on typically Christian therapies known as Christotherapy and hagiotherapy, including a concept of logotherapy, which may seen close to Christianity but differs in some of it ́s ways. Today ́s appearance of the cult of the body and fitness mania such as excessive concern for physical health, is analyzed, and the case of the absence regarding sacramental life of believers during the coronavirus pandemic has not been overlooked. Clarification has been brought to the emergence of the New age phenomenon, as well as the many questions it ties to. Questions such as when and where it appeared, what are its roots, the new anthropology, and the most important thing that the New Age says about health. Techniques that used in a individual ́s healing process of the New age point of view have been brought to attention. Particularly techniques that are prevalent in Croatia. New age tends to establish a single-mindedness of thought; a new paradigm, a new medicine and, above all, a new world order. A variety of dangers lie within New age ́s approach. Dangers that directly afflict humanity, challenges it poses to medicine and the Church itself, which impacted by crisis, alienation and dehumanization od today ́s world. Holism of New Age and Christianity seek to explain how New Age and Christianity view man as a whole in the healing process. Great importance was brought to unveiling of fundamental concepts, and compatibility of certain therapies with Christian science, including those who differentiate and place themselves into a sphere of unconventional, alternative New age medicine. Namely, there is room for a critical review, which is also discussed by the church's teaching staff. The key is the provisional report of the Pontifical Council for Culture and the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue "Jesus Christ – The bearer of the water od life", which reflects upon a Christian perspective on the appearance of New Age and all the incompatible teachings that New Age offers to man; from tantric roots to mystical healing experiences that have concealed and dangerous intentions for human health. Nevertheless, some positive aspects of New Age have been mentioned, from which postmodern Christianity can learn, as well as what the Church has failed to overcome. Finally, the question concearning the importance meaning and suffering of Christ as the only holistic physician of all humanity is analyzed. In the end, our work offered answers and guidelines related to the emergence and perspective of New Age practices in today's society, what needs to be done, mostly in terms of therapeutic and health effects, seen from the worldview of the Church, psychotherapy, medicine and society. |
