Tożsamość cywilizacyjna Zachodu a koncepcja świętej wojny. Kilka uwag z perspektywy realistycznej filozofii człowieka i polityki
Identity of the Western civilisation and the conception of the sacred war. A few remarks from a perspective of realistic philosophy of human being and politics

Summary/Abstract: The Author presents the assumptions of Polish school of natural law in his text. As he points out, they were not just a group of abstract academic disputes but they served the purpose of creating the effective policy of the Republic of Poland and its international relations with neighbouring countries. Next, they served the basis for protection of the Indians’ rights in Latin America. In the fifteenth and sixteenth century of the Jagiellonian era, they also laid foundations for the free and most powerful country in Central Europe. This country, without imperial temptations, truly beautiful and kind was uniting people and nations on the basis of union in which love was a true, real principle. It had never known religious wars, pogroms or religious intolerance and the spirit of catholic faith ruling in it urged, if not everybody, then a lot of people, to voluntary acceptance of the Catholic religion. This faith was attached to the Polish nation to such an extent that it became its integral element, the source of its vital strengths and identity.
