Szakrális kontra szekuláris értékek a polgári modernizáció korában

Absztrakt

European legal culture is primarily rooted in Roman-Germanic heritage and Jewish-Christian revelation, although it is not intact from Asian and islamic effects. As opposed to the absolute values of the Jewish-Christian culture, from the time of the French Revolution relativism concerning good and bad, right and wrong is trendy. Absolute sacral values and relative secular values differentiated from each other only at the early time of the civil modernization. However when the public life passed into profane, became this distance only exceptional. The combination and rivalry of sacral and secular values are typical up to the present day in Europe.
