(Title in Slovak - 'Idealy neznej revolucie a ich premietnutie vo vyvoji sukromneho prava v prvych rokoch slovenskej transformacie spolocnosti (Historickopravna a filozoficka studia)'). The article deals with the development of private law since 1989, until the so-called Major Amendment of the Civil Code No. 509/1991 had been adopted. The author also tries to point out general socio-economic, cultural and moral development, which refers to the transformation of private law and the creation of law itself, very closely. Finally, the author reflects which ideals of the Velvet Revolution, in what extent and form, had been enforced in the 1991 amendment of the Civil Code. The excessive emphasis was placed on endless individualism after November 1989, very similar as collectivism has been subjectively upheld after February 1948 in Czechoslovakia. Subjective economic and political interests of a part of society were influencing creation of law. Concepts such as democracy, freedom, capitalism, market economy, privatization, or law have been perceived primarily from economic point of view, while not given adequate attention to their moral dimensions. Encyclical Centesimus Annus, adopted in the same year as the major re-codification of the Civil Code, offering number of inspiring initiatives unfortunately didn't become the right impulse to change this vision.
