Józefa Chałasińskiego koncepcja narodu

Abstract

J. Chałasiński treats a culture issue in a close connection with a nation that is the highest organized form of a cultural cooperative. He emphasizes particularly historical continuity of a culture as a basic source of a nationalization of individual groups of Polish society. Elaborating the issue of cultural integration of a nation he is very much for not treating a culture and a nation as statical elements that are shaped once in social mentality. In his opinion cultural cooperative is more stable and more integrating factor of social relationships and social solidarity then a common government or political institutions. In the end he is saying that his cultural concept of a nation fits very well the history of Polish nation. In time of globalization many thesis of the author need to be verified.
