A PHILOSOPHY OF NEED AND NECESSITY FOR CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY

Abstract: Theology is a multidisciplinary field dealing not only with the relations between God and
man but also among humankind. Therefore, the task of Theology is to deal with the contemporary
problems of human society. The following articles by Prof. Josef Dolista and Dr. Pavla Damohorska
deal with some aspects of the present society deeply influenced by the pandemic situation. While
Professor Dolista focuses on the attitude of medical staff towards individuals, Dr. Damohorska’s
contribution outlines some basic features of the human character in relation to Jewish ethics as well
as the way of how to overcome the negative aspects.
