INTERDISCIPLINARY VIEW OF THE COPYRIGHT LAW, IMPORTANCE OF THE SCIENTIFIC WORK AND BALANCING INTEREST IN THE SLOVAK COPYRIGHT LAW (Interdisciplinarny pohlad na autorske pravo, vyznam vedeckej prace a vyvazovanie zaujmov v slovenskom autorskom prave)

The authors discuss the importance of scientific work in the present post-modern information society. The important pioneer of juridical science constitution in Slovakia is Professor Stefan Luby, who laid its foundations in the first half of last century. He realized its social importance and did not fail broader interdisciplinary context and found rich inspiration beyond juridical science. The use of philosophy is important for a proper understanding and evaluation of knowledge of special sciences. The authors consider the intergenerational discontinuity of socio-economic and cultural developments as cause of the hypertrophy of law and policy during the so-called transition period. This discontinuity originates in a completely different perception of man and society in the years 1948 - 1989 and the last twenty years post-November development transformation. The inability of the long-term experience preservation causes the repetition of the same mistakes and the returning legacy problems. The authors devote to general issues of the jurisprudence and closer engage in the wider issues of the interdisciplinary issues about 'balancing interests' in the copyright law.
