Edukacja wobec wartości życia politycznego. Problemy wybrane

Tzvetan Todorov in conclusion of his book “A New World Disorder. An European’s Reflections” indicates six values, which should determine the future of our continent. These are: rationality and justice, democracy and individual freedom, tolerance and secularity. These values function in the social – political life as mutually dependent things. There exists a need for an enormous effort to think and act in a rational way in the unjust environment. At present the freedom of an individual cannot be realized without guarantee from democracy. Tolerance has the guarantee of its realization when secularity, along with religious attitudes, becomes a rightful outlook on life, binding mainly in public life. The relationships between these notions are neither simple nor parallel. This also concerns relationships between unequal ideas being subject to evolution.
