The article outlines the author’s view on the role of religion in the evolution of family law over the course of history. Particular attention is paid to the impact of religion on the applicable law in the classical era, Middle Ages and in the early modern period. The article deals with the sacralization of family law and focuses primarily on marriage as the core element underpinning this area of law. The author discusses how religion influenced the evolution of family law differently in Catholic and Protestant countries and provides examples from German law to illustrate this phenomenon. The importance of a major change in the evolution of family law, as brought about by the French Revolution, which stripped marriage of all religious connotations (the idea of marriage as a civil contract only), is also emphasised. Furthermore, the article examines the religious upbringing of children and the way this issue is addressed in German law, namely the rules of the German Civil Code (BGB) as contrasted with the rules of the German Act on the Religious Upbringing of Children of 15 July 1921.

The subject of this article is American Conservative’s view on religion at the time of „Christian Awekening”. The Author argues that it is ambivalent. On the one hand, they claim that religion is an answer to the crisis of modern secularism. On the other hand, some of them think that it poses a threat to the political order because Christianity is in a deep crisis. Over the last decades it has been transformed by democratic, egalitarian and therapeutic culture.

Hunting and ReligionOn the Religious Significance of Hunting Practices from the Perspective of Animal Studies The main aim of the article is to consider the presence and function of religion (in most cases, the Christian religion) in the broadly conceived hunting practices at the turn of the 21st century, as well as the presence of religious motivation and ideological commitment in the hunters’ community from the perspective of religious studies inspired by the empirical research into the human-animal relationship (known as animal studies). The hunting narrative is shown, on the one hand, as eagerly seeking legitimacy and support from institutional religion (evidenced by the patron saints of hunting, the hunting ceremonial that has close parallels in the church ceremonial, and the argument in favour of “ecological balance” and “nature management” based on theological sources) and, on the other hand, as disguising an unethical and religiously unacceptable element of the arbitrary taking of life and inflicting pain without a shadow of empathy or without respecting the right to existence of what is a vulnerable being, even more so because it is devoid of human tools and rationality. The author’s examination of the issues leads to the discussion of the hunters’ religious mythologizing of their own status which draws on the ancient origin of hunting practices in prehistoric times: a period when the human-animal relationship was not yet marked by dualistic division and ontological asymmetry. The paper ultimately aims at the analysis of the way hunting is presented in religious studies research, of the difference between the implications of hunting activities for the human-animal relationship in premodern tribal communities (which practised subsistence hunting) and contemporary industrialized ones, and of the possibility of granting religious subjecthood to animals which stems from the return to the non-dichotomous, relational and dynamic view of the world typical of hunter-gatherers’ times.

The article is devoted to the Values Survey in Ukraine and Poland. The assessment of economic transformation should be comprehensive and the prism of values might give a deeper insight on country’s development. The values are important as in both countries it’s the people who vote and select the leaders who decide what way to rule the country We have selected some of the polls that we think are determining the institutional environment in Ukraine and for definition of the trajectory of the transformation of the national economy. It should be noted that the results are presented for Ukraine back in 2011, which, in our opinion, makes it possible to fundamentally assess historical events in Ukraine starting in 2013. For Poland the data comes from 2012. The research is divided into thematic sections – family, politics, children, upbringing, religion, etc., and respondents are differentiated by sex and age. In all tables the total number of respondents is 1500 for Ukraine and 966 for Poland. Thus, the prospects for the development of the national economy of Ukraine and Poland are evaluated through the prism of the study of values. The transition from extractive institutions to inclusive ones is complicated by the low level of public confidence in official institutions, the low involvement of the population in the activities of the authorities, political parties, etc. The low level of financial convergence, together with low confidence in banks, makes it impossible to develop the country’s financial system, poses a threat to national economic security, and so on. At the level of official statistics, in our opinion, it is advisable to implement the concept of institutional statistics –the official statistics sector, which explores the “rules of the game”.

Artykuł poświęcono badaniom wartości na Ukrainie i w Polsce. Ocena zmian gospodarczych powinna mieć charakter wielostronny, a przyjęcie perspektywy wartości może pozwolić na głębsze zrozumienie procesów rozwoju kraju. Wartości mają zasadnicze znaczenie, ponieważ w obu państwach to ludzie, którzy głosują i wybierają liderów, decydują o sposobie zarządzania krajem. W artykule dokonano wyboru niektórych opinii, które uznano za determinujące instytucjonalne środowisko na Ukrainie i definiują trajektorię transformacji gospodarki narodowej. Należy zaznaczyć, że wyniki prezentowane dla Ukrainy sięgają wstecz do 2011 r., co zdaniem autorów, umożliwia przeprowadzenie dokładnej oceny historycznych wydarzeń na Ukrainie w 2013 r. Dla Polski dane rozpoczynają się od 2012 r. Badania zostały podzielone na sekcje tematyczne – rodzina, polityka, dzieci, wychowanie, religia itp., a respondentów różnicowano w oparciu o kryterium płci i wieku. We wszystkich tabelach łączna liczba respondentów to 1500 dla Ukrainy i 966 dla Polski. W ten sposób perspektywy rozwoju gospodarki narodowej Ukrainy i Polski poddano ocenie z punktu widzenia badań wartości. Przejście od instytucji ekskluzywnych do włączających jest komplikowane poprzez niski poziom publicznego zaufania do oficjalnych instytucji, niskie zaangażowanie ludności w działalność władz publicznych, partii politycznych itp. Niski poziom konwergencji finansowej, łącznie z niskim poziomem zaufania do banków uniemożliwia rozwój krajowego systemu finansowego, tworząc zagrożenie dla narodowego bezpieczeństwa ekonomicznego itd. Na poziomie oficjalnych danych statystycznych, zdaniem autorów, zasadne jest wdrożenie koncepcji statystyk instytucjonalnych – oficjalnego sektora statystycznego, który zajmuje się badaniem „zasad gry”.
