Abstract There are many different approaches to justice, both theological and secular. These different approaches and diverse theories need not be exclusive, but can play an important role in a dialogue on justice. Since justice is never completely just, it is imperative to always be critical of laws and policies while guarding against moral superiority and oppression. To this end, this article seeks to enter into a critical dialogue between John Rawls and Reinhold Niebuhr from a theological perspective. It critically examines their main ideas and focuses on the role of community, the importance of moral dialogue, the priority of the poor and the unique issues raised by globalization.

The traditionally ideological divisions allowed the old political entities (parties, social movements) to represent the right and left wing dichotomy. The simultaneous increase in the role of political liberalism has led to the replacement of the axes of economic, commercial, cultural and identity divisions with the concepts of normality and rationality (Zielonka 2018). Liberalism, in spite of the lack of literal and dominating party representation, has become the obligatory political code defining reality in terms of good and evil, leaving no option to choose an alternative beyond the position considered universal and desirable. Simultaneously, the monopoly of the legitimacy and moral superiority of the liberal political program was developed. Criticism from the opponents of that monopoly started to be known as populism. Artists mostly identified with the mainstream liberal views, as they offered them the opportunity to illustrate and educate the public. They also corresponded with their artistic sensitivity, openness to tolerance, the rule of law and democracy, as well as the independence and freedom of individuals. Since 2015 elections, the artistic milieus representing axiology similar or identical to Law and Justice / LaJ (Pol.: Prawo i Sprawiedliwość / PiS) have become strongly active. The party began to use the language representing the sensitivity of the people in contrast to the elites. Such populism was quickly treated as a position offering too quick solutions. The basic assumption shall be an attempt to verify the claim of the populism of art and artists standing against the authorities and supporting the LaJ power. The aim of the presentation shall be to overview the theoretical assumptions of this phenomenon in relation to art and its representatives, and to illustrate it with specific Polish examples from 2015 onwards.

Accumulating evidence suggests that anger can have a strong impact on discrete trust behaviors. However, the mechanisms underlying how anger influences trust are still unclear. Based on the appraisal tendency framework, we hypothesized that perceived social distance would positively mediate the effect of anger on trust, and that gender would moderate this mediation. In Study 1, a 2 (Anger vs. Control) × 2 (Men vs. Women) factorial design was used to investigate this hypothesis. Results supported our predictions that anger drove women, but not men, to perceive smaller social distance, and thus sent more money to their counterparts in a trust game as compared to controls. In Study 2, social distance was manipulated, and a 2 (Low social distance vs. Control) × 2 (Men vs. Women) factorial design was used to critically test the causal role of the mediator, namely to examine the effect of perceived social distance on trust. Results showed that women, but not men, sent more money to their counterparts in the low social distance condition than in the control condition. Results of both studies indicate that the high certainty, higher individual control, and approach motivation associated with anger could trigger optimistic risk assessment, and thus more trust toward others in women, via perceiving smaller social distance to others.
