DĖL KULTŪROLOGINIO KRIKŠČIONYBĖS IDĖJŲ BALANSO
On the Culturological Balance of the Ideas of Christianity

Summary/Abstract: The article proves that recent discussions about the clash of civilizations make newly relevant the question of the relation between religion and culture. The conclusion particularly emphasizes that we don not have any right (under the pretext of wrongly understood political correctness) to forget that Christianity is the beginning of the cultural identity of the Western human being. The article aims to prove that it was the idea of transcendence which ultimately determined the historic understanding of social change and the appearance of the notion of personality as fundamental insights specific to the type of Western culture.
