O procesie budowania świadomości kultury narodowej dzisiaj

Abstract

The task to realize constant human formation in the area of acquisition of cultural national identity is vitally important and at the same time not easy. The modern man is living under the influence of versatile, liberal-nihilistic tendencies. Creative engagement of people in the creation of a comprehensive, national culture finds its expression when the transcendent (religious) approach is not avoided. The encounter of two components, a human and a divine awakens and leads to a deep awareness, both religious and cultural. In order to obtain correct consciousness, one should particularly rely on the personalizing and socializing functions of the family. In this context, in the natural way one can educate children and adolescents to a conscious responsibility for the life in truth and freedom. A crucial factor in the development of this awareness is also the care about the quality of the mother tongue and as called by the Polish philosopher S. Świeżawski – „the exercise of intelligence”.
