Problem wyboru światopoglądu

Abstract

Every worldview should be a personal conviction and a result of a choice. An issue of selection of the worldview become a very current one in the Polish reality to-day, since in it has taken place the very principial changes. Poland has got back the freedom. Various liberal movements come to the prominence and some new ideologies appear in consequence of this. In the past the Christian worldview was a result of the upbringing and very often it was an expression of the opposition to the marxist ideology. Today this worldview has to be a matter of the renowed considerations and a matter of the choices motivated in a new manner. In this connexion it is necessary to pay attention to the structure of the worldview. It has to include the scientific and unscientific data. They arise either from a philosophy or from a religion. Exactly in the light of those data someone judges the basic problems of the worldview: from where everything – and first of all a man – originates, which one is a meaning of existence and where everything aims. Because it is impossible to achieve an evidence here, someone has to pay attention to the degree of the motive of those data. Especially someone has to value, which one of the solutions (religious or unreligious) is more comprehensive, more critical and therefore it makes possible a full development of a human person. The choice of a worldview ought to base on those principles.
