W kierunku niepodzielnej Europy

Abstract

The Yalta Conference (4-11 February 1945) after the Second World War adopted a resolution by virtue of which the European Community was divided. Many countries, including Poland, had found themselves under the Soviet influence. Showing that Europe is an integral whole, the author has pointed to three problems: 1. Cultu ral identity of the European nations; he has proved that it is the spiritual culture which best expresses this identity rather than the material culture. 2. An integrative role of Christian values. According to him the values of the European culture bear a Christian character. 3. Poland and Europe. Poland is rooted in Europe though it has a certain specific character. One my find the latter particularly in stressing such values as: religion, patriotism and tolerance. Emphasizing the integrity of the European Community, the author, at the same time, points out that our „common home” should be founded on unity but in diversity.
