The paper concentrates on the project of the European Citizens’ Consultations — Internet-based debate organized in 27 member states — as a measure to tackle democracy deficit and accountability gap in the European Union. The author tries to measure the potential of the Internet as a meeting place of deliberative democracy and its impact on the process of involving European citizens into decision-making in the European Union. In order to grasp a diversified nature of the democratic participation throughout the European Union, the author compares the outputs of the debates in four different member states: Poland, Germany, France and the United Kingdom. The research takes into account not only the number of participants and frequency of their posts — which constitutes a quantitative part of the research — but also the content of the propositions presented by the participants and the final national recommendations — which is an attempt of qualitative analysis of the project.

In her philosophical and theological thought Edith Stein tackles the question of faith. Trying to find most of its constitutive elements, she considers it within a frame of human freedom. She states that faith, internal human willingness to take an act of faith and the freedom of choice are the essential foundation for the grace on the basis of which the existential relationship between God and man can be established. Edith Stein confirms that human free will, which is supported only by human effort, is not able to bring a person to make an act of faith. It can only arouse willingness to do it, but does not build a relationship. However, the same grace of God, without human freedom of choice is also not enough and does not guarantee him the reality of faith. Therefore, Edith Stein shows faith as a special kind of choice, made with the participation of free will. It is an existential choice which moves and changes the inner man, and which will always last within a living relationship with God.
