The author briefly presents the following laws: (a) universal presence of mythology, irrespective of the degree of its cultural influence; (b) the law of ideological pluralism (a single global ideological system would thwart any great thought); (c) the law of historical sequencing and of historical continuity; (d) the law of historical pendulum; (e) inevitable presence of structural shortcomings (statements about the ultimate, cognitively exhaustive nature of one’s own system of thought and the declaration that it offers sufficient instruments for creating heaven on earth); (f) degeneration of a system due to false founding premises (e.g. „freedom” as an essential of its own right, separated from truth, good, justice and the love of kin, which has led to the creation of the ideology of the European Union and leads it towards chaos, nihilism and atheism.). A vital denominator of any great thought is its reference to an idea of God. Jesus Christ, as the crown of all creation (Eph. 1:10) is also a redeemer of great thoughts and philosophical systems.plAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Polandhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/pl/prawa dziejowemitografiamitologizmcyklicznośćciągłość dziejowaprawo wahadła historycznegoprawo sekwencji dziejowejidea BogaChrystus uniwersalnyrozumrozum praktycznymitologiamitpluralizmliberalizmateizmsystem politycznyhistorical lawsmythographymythologismcyclicityhistorical continuitylaw of the historical pendulumlaw of historical sequencingidea of Goduniversal nature of Jesus Christreasonpractical reasonmythologymythpluralismliberalismatheismpolitical systemArticle
