The main thesis of this article states that patriotism constitutes a key role in the process of globalization. The author perceives the moral dimension of nation and homeland categories as the validation of such a position. Patriotism, which is not chauvinism, deeply connects with its own nation, as well as homeland, and due to its very nature, should be open to foreigners and other nations.

The author proves that there are two contradictory opinions about the nation in Polish literature: the cosmopolitic and patriotic one. The first one expresses an ideology adopted by a man who claims that the nation is a „contractual” value to which one should keep an appropriate emotional and practical distance, and it can even be replaced by a more useful value. The second opinion sees in the nation an expression of the world of spirit. The nation here is thought to be a great social reality, a superindividual entity living its own life full of sublime values, which are indispensable for the supplement of the individual identity of a person. In the author’s view the nation is a political, sociological, philosophical and ethical problem. What in fact is the nation? − he asks. The nation is the perennial subject of a collective life of mankind. It is the subject of weighty historical processes; it plays the role of a great sculptor who determines, to a considerable extent, the individual shape of particular individuals; it can preserve existence and create values without any external help from a social organization; it is a value, but not a „contractual” value, yet a living, creative and dynamic one. National culture is a basic social bond of the nation. It contains the following components: language, traditions, customs, fashions, common history and „self-awareness” of the nation. The author analyzes those elements in their union as particles of a superior whole, as an internally coherent category bearing a singular spiritual expression. The characteristics of national culture are as follows: „spontaneity”, „specificity” or else „indigenousness” of that culture. The author wants to render the principal idea more express, namely, that the nation creates culture, but also that it lives this culture. The task of the nation boils down to shape conditions for the spiritual development of a human being, hence it enters in the domain of morality. In view of that, the nation is entitled to the right to exist, to preserve its own identity, to cultural autonomy and to economic subjectivity. These rights imply many particular norms, directives and indications which compose the ethics of the nation. The duties of particular members towards the national fellowship are related to the rights of the nation. The greatest threats to the foundations of a national being are the blows aimed at its culture. Thus it is an elementary duty of a national member to develop and disseminate national culture and to strengthen the bonds between the nation and religion. A member is obliged to affirm his own State and shape genuine democracy, to take a firm stand against threats to national culture which Card. S. Wyszyn´ ski sees in undermining the religious life of the nation by killing the unborn and demoralizing by mass culture. There has arisen an ethical problem connected with the mass exodus of the young generation. It is also linked with the integral processes in Europe and the world. These processes bring some threat to national culture, yet one should expect that the imperatives of national ethos will die out. The author emphasizes that one should control those processes basing oneself on the moral principles. The awareness of threats should become a point of departure for a vivid activity on behalf of a continual renovation of the goods of national culture.

The treatise is an attempt at a synthetic characteristic of Thomas Aquinas’ ethics: its doctrinal and methodological assumptions, composite elements and its profile. At the grounds of that ethics we find the following philosophical-anthropological system: metaphysics of being, personalistic anthropology, conception of conscience and happiness, and the idea of finality. The idea of the ultimate goal and happiness plays an essential role here, therefore the ethical thought of the Aquinate should be included within the eudemonistic trend. There are many interpretations of Thomas’ ethics, and many of them are controversial. It is not an ethics of virtues, ethics of values or ethics of law and obligation. It is the ethics of moral good, natural law and cardinal virtues creating together an integrated moral system directed at man’s ultimate goal bound with the absolute and transcendent Good, that is God. The eudaimonism of St Thomas is essentially different from all those trends which explain man’s happiness in terms of immanent naturalism and hedonistic subjectivism. Thomas, however, takes into account those aspects of man’s life and his acts with a turn to the subject, but at the same time he links them, in a harmonious way, with the recognition of the objective moral order. Therefore he recognizes the objective criteria of moral good and evil, the objective rational and moral order, the need for happiness, and above all natural law based on the eternal Divine law. Thomas’ ethics has an absolute character, yet it is not a radical absolutism, for it differentiates in it the universal and stable elements from those which are variable, that is secondary. The former elements are grounded on the unchangeable human nature, the latter takes into account the historical and social conditions. The ethics of the „true” Thomas leaves the gate open for further ethical reflections.
