The article discusses main discourses and theoretical approaches towards the phenomenon of modernity in East Asia. The main discourses are identified as: Westernization/ Americanization approach, multiple modernity discourses and the theories of hybridization. The article analyzes main foundations, key premises and functions of the above mentioned discourses within the Asian and non-Asian contexts. Its also traces down advantages, flaws and implications of those discourses with reference to such notions as globalization, West, Asia, culture(s), tradition. The author concludes that rejection of the West/East and tradition/modernity stereotypical divide in the name of a non-essential, multi-casual approach represented by some of the multiple modernity and hybridization theories, may more adequately describe today's Asia and also, possibly, Asia in the future, than the discourses based on such a dualistic divisions.

The picture of contemporary Turkey is the result of a complex process of change, which cannot be painted without getting deeper into the history of this country. There are important stages for the evolution of the Turkish politics in the history of the Ottoman Empire like laying the foundations of the present Republic (the first attempt is the Tanzimat Reforms to decrease the gap between the Empire and the Western countries), and the Young Turk Movement activities, Thanks to Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, who played a major role in the road to freedom and modernization of the country, today we can speak about the Republic of Turkey. Separating the state from religion, Atatürk created a new secular country, cut off in this way from the current output of the Ottoman Empire. The ideas of Kemalism, implemented in the life of the Turkish society through reforms which contributed to the creation of a new nation and the significant development of the country in many areas. With the reformist activities of Mustafa Kemal, Turkey has become a modern country gaining a lot on the international area. Therefore, this situation has made Turkey try to join the European Union. Hence in Turkey there is an understandable respect and glorification for Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, widely recognized as the great leader and national hero. As quoted in the article, parts of interviews have indicated that Atatürk is still well-known, highly appreciated and alive in the minds of the Turks. Turkish people are proud of him and they are well aware of the importance of his reforms for the fate of the country, often looking at his figure uncritically.

Powszechna Deklaracja Praw Człowieka (1948) jest niewątpliwie jednym z najważniejszych dokumentów międzynarodowych. Jej podpisanie i przestrzeganie uchodzi na arenie politycznej za miarę stopnia „ucywilizowania” danego państwa. Autorka wykazuje, że powołując się na wywodzące się z tradycji zachodniej prawa człowieka, Deklaracja próbuje narzucić stojący za nią określony system wartości. Pomija się czynniki kulturowe, które niewątpliwie wpływają na odbiór oraz implementację Deklaracji w poszczególnych państwach. W artykule, przytaczając najważniejsze założenia taoizmu oraz konfucjanizmu odnoszące się do etyki oraz antropologii, wskazano na bogactwo myśli chińskiej. Zaakcentowano różnice pomiędzy wyznawanymi wartościami w społeczeństwach azjatyckich i zachodnich. Odwołując się do Deklaracji z Bangkoku (1993) ukazano potrzeby i cele państw Dalekiego Wschodu. Uzasadniono – na podstawie wybranych systemów filozoficznych – przyczyny „niechęci” zaakceptowania idei „praw człowieka” w Chinach, jak również negatywne postrzeganie procesu okcydentalizacji.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) is undoubtedly one of the most important international documents. The Declaration’s signing and compliance is considered in the political arena as a measure of the degree of “civilising” of a given state. The present author indicates that, referring to the human rights that derive from the Western tradition, the Declaration attempts to impose a system of values standing behind it. Cultural factors, which undoubtedly influence the Declaration’s reception and implementation in the individual countries, are omitted. In the article, while citing the most important assumptions of Taoism and Confucianism with relation to the ethics and anthropology, the present author indicated the richness of Chinese thought. She also emphasises the differences between the professed values in Asian and Western societies. Referring to the Bangkok Declaration (1993), the author showed the needs and objectives of the Far East. She justified too – on the basis of selected philosophical systems – the cause of “reluctance” to accept the idea of “human rights” in China, as well as the negative perception of the process of Westernisation.
