Implementing sustainable development is one of the essential tasks in the current human activity in managing our planet’s natural resources. It is a challenge not only for ecology, demography, anthropology and philosophy but also turns out to be a challenge for other disciplines supporting research on the nature of the human species and its changes. The practical implementation of this idea assumes a detailed knowledge of the factors determining the development of civilisation, as well as the factors that disturb this development. In this article, we present arguments that, through modelling, illustrate the historical regularities of the development of the human race, starting from the Neolithic Age through the Bronze Age, Iron Age, and early Middle Ages (models 2–5), to the contemporary image of civilisation development (model 6). These arguments show that in the past, the history of civilisation was fundamentally influenced by three factors: biological, social and cultural. However, in the modern era, an important fourth factor emerges, which is the cognitive factor. Moreover, the historical approach to development (models 2–5) fits into the so-called Malthusian pattern of development, which follows an exponential curve (models 2–5). In contrast, the development of modern civilisation (model 6) follows the Volterra pattern, which is modelled on a logarithmic curve. We hypothesise that the transition from the Malthusian to the Volterra pattern took place precisely due to a new development factor—the cognitive factor. The increase in its rank in the history of civilisation development is presented using a four-factor model. We present the characteristics of this factor and place it in our model, showing how it will fundamentally determine the optimisation of the principles of sustainable civilisation development. In the conclusion of the given argumentation, we emphasise the need to promote various forms of education as the primary tool of humanity in pursuit of sustainable development.

Against a widespread scepticism with regard to the existence of a European identity, the article maintains both that there is such a thing as European culture and mentality or European "story", and that there has to be one, if European economy, law and politics are to be successful in the longer run. The article attempts to show ideal-typically that there is quite a series of interconnected common features (institutions, practices, convictions and guiding ideas) on the European continent. This can also be made visible in the contrast with non-western cultures, and within the western cultural area with the American society and mentality as well. It is not denied that the European "story" is often distorted by a stubborn reality (power relations, conflicts of interests, etc.). Nevertheless, it is constantly working on all levels of the European society and offers guidance to the processes at work there.
LT
Atsitolinama nuo plačiai paplitusio skepticizmo ir laikomasi pagarbios pozicijos europietiškosios tapatybės atžvilgiu. Tvirtinama, kad egzistuoja tiek europietiškoji kultūra ir mentalitetas kaip tam tikras europietiškasis "pasakojimas", tiek Europos ekonomika, teisė ir politika. Bandoma parodyti, kad šiuolaikinėje Europoje gali būti aptinkama gana daug tam tikrų glaudžiai susijusių institucijų, veiklos rūšių, įsitikinimų ir vyraujančių idėjų. Tai siekiama išryškinti, europietiškąją kultūrą supriešinant su nevakarietiškosiomis bei su Amerikos visuomene ir mentalitetu. Straipsnio autoriaus manymu, europietiškasis "pasakojimas" nūdienėje epochoje neretai vis dar iškraipomas sustabarėjusių galios santykių ir interesų konfliktų, todėl turi būti iš naujo apmąstomas ir interpretuojamas šiuolaikinio socialinio bei filosofinio mąstymo perspektyvoje.

Głównym problemem związanym z kwestiami cywilizacyjnymi i kulturowymi, jest postrzeganie, wzajemnie poznanie siebie i zrozumienie odmienności. Dlatego też badania potencjalnych zagrożeń bezpieczeństwa kulturowego powinny być prowadzone w celu identyfikacji oraz przeciwdziałania tym zagrożeniom, a nie ograniczania współwystępowania odmienności. Tezą niniejszego artykułu jest stwierdzenie, iż w obecnym dynamicznym świecie, konflikty na tle kulturowym są niezwykle powszechne. Wymagają one identyfikacji procesów cywilizacyjnych oraz zrozumienia różnic społeczno-kulturowych. Co więcej, kontynent europejski jest silnie zróżnicowany pod względem narodowościowym oraz wyznaniowym. Potwierdzają to relacje państw na arenie międzynarodowej oraz ich potyczki dyplomatyczne związane z mnogością kultur oraz religii. Każde państwo, będące przedstawicielem pewnego narodu, dba w mniejszym lub większym stopniu o swym obywateli. Wyzwaniem dla każdego państwa jest przyjęcie oraz zasymilowanie ludności napływowej, tak by społeczeństwa żyły w stabilnym środowisku.

The main problem associated with the issues of civilization and culture, is the perception, understanding each other and understanding of diversity. Therefore, the study of potential threats to culture security should be conducted in order to identify and counteract these threats, and not limit the coexistence of differences. The thesis of this article is to say that in the current fast-paced world, conflicts on cultural background are extremely common. They require identification of processes and understanding of the socio-cultural. Moreover, the European continent is highly diverse in terms of ethnicity and religious. This is confirmed by reports states on the international arena and their diplomatic skirmishes related to the multiplicity of cultures and religions. Any State that is representative of some of the nation cares a greater or lesser extent of their citizens. The challenge for each country is to adopt and assimilate the immigrant population, so that the public lived in a stable environment.
