Teoria cywilizacji według Feliksa Konecznego

Abstract

Feliks Koneczny created a new scientific theory – a comparative science on civilizations. According to Koneczny, there is a clash between various cultures and traditions in Europe. However, there is a common civilization foundation on which individual national cultures develop, but there is no single European civilization. In geographically understood Europe there are four civilizations which constantly compete with each other: Latin (Western), Byzan¬tine, Jewish and Turanian (Muscovy-Cossack). The Western civilization is a Latin civilization. Other civilizations existing in Europe have an oriental origin with a false understanding of human being, and his potentiality. Therefore, these civilizations create many obstacles in the way of human perfection through apriorism, collegial vision of a human being, emanation foundations, legal monism, sacralism, ancestral nature. They are violent against human and his innate laws. However, according to Koneczny, the persistence of civilization is an act of will of the societies that create them, and in a situation of any collapse danger, one can always defend a given civilization. The knowledge of civilization helps to understand the history of today’s world.
