The article is intended to bring out the basic understandings of 'tradition' as encountered in the social sciences and the humanities. The first might be termed functional since attention is focused on the function of transmitting in a given community certain elements of culture from generation to generation ('tradition' as transmission). The second might be termed objective since the researcher's attention shifts from the transmission of elements to the elements themselves ('tradition' as heritage). The third might be termed subjective since it is neither the operation of transmission nor the object transmitted that comes to the fore but the attitude of a given generation toward the past, its acceptance of the heritage or its protest against it (simply tradition). The present author is concerned above all with the subjective understanding of tradition that is with those elements of the heritage which are taken over from earlier generations with an emotional engagement on the part of those who adopt them.

The idyll has an important position in Hollý´s poetic production. This type of poetry can be found throughout his literary activity. It significantly affects the way his poetic production is assessed as a whole, and it defines its place in the development of Slovak poetry. The Christmas idylls Miloslav, Vitoslav and Spasitel/Messiah are not only confined to the contemplation of the spiritual level of the Christmas mystery as the fulfilment of God´s plan of salvation, but they offer several interpreter levels. They also prove Hollý´s poetic craftsmanship satisfying the most stringent poetry criteria as well as his intense relationship to the domestic cultural and the literary tradition.

In the globalization era the problem of social interactions — especially of creating collective forms of social identities — has become particularly distinct. Buryats’cultural and national revival in the late 20th century referred to their past and attempted to base on the authority of tradition and history. The choice of traditional forms of self-identification made by contemporary Buryats depended on the latter’s — or to be exact their leaders’ — interests. The turn towards the former models of Buryat ethnic identity, which can be revealed while analyzing Buryat chronicles, is one of the keys to understanding contemporary Buryat identity practices. Studying the tradition of Buryat selfconsciousness reflected in chronicles proves fruitful from the perspective of a diachronic analysis. It enables a researcher to demonstrate new types of Buryats’ hierarchic ethnic-identity structure influenced by the 20th-century reality (especially among the Buryat diaspora groups in Inner Mongolia, PRC, and the Republic of Mongolia).

This paper depicts the mutability and malleability of the concept of tradition. Its development is illustrated in three examples from modern Latvian history: the Latvian national movement and the program of the cultural and social emancipation of Latvians as a modern people, the issue of tradition and modernity in interwar Latvia, especially during the authoritarian regime, and the confrontation between tradition and the Soviet model of modernisation. The cultural and social emancipation of Latvians as a modern people was a consequence as well as an inseparable part of the modernisation processes of the Baltic provinces and the tsarist empire. The program of the Latvian national movement was defined as an attempt to integrate Latvians into the changing social and cultural conditions not only in the traditional Baltic provinces, but, at the same time, the assertion of a modern nation within the wider context of the tsarist empire. The second section examines the issue of tradition and modernity in interwar Latvia, especially during the authoritarian regime, which single-mindedly and systematically attempted to justify historically the statehood of the young country of Latvia. The final section characterises the Soviet model of modernisation.

Since the 19th century the tension between modernizing processes and the terms like tradition, patriotism, and nation have become the constant feature of the development of modern Hungarian society. The dispute between 'modern' and 'traditional' culminated usually during great national crises. Paradoxically, the language of the dispute made possible the use of the word 'modernization' against real modernization, when the effort to raise the nation was undertaken in the name of defence of national values against 'cosmopolitan' modernity coming from abroad, or when the Hungarian nation was defending its 'traditional progressiveness' against the national demands of 'backward' non-Hungarian nations. The effort to find the balance between 'general' democratic and 'particular' national principles have permeated programmes of all significant political parties throughout the 19-20th centuries. The achieved consensus in this matter served also as one of the arguments supporting the decision to accept integration of Hungary into NATO and the EU, and, on the other hand, the Hungarians perceived both integrations as historically unique opportunity to resolve traditional tensions between 'progress and patriotism'.

The 20th century India witnessed a quite strong tendency towards the separation of philosophy from religion, regarding them as two autonomous phenomena. This tendency corresponded with a more general endeavour, namely getting philosophy closer to science. The author focuses especially on the new streams, which appeared by the end of the millennium and are still relevant today. These include philosophy of science, feminist philosophy, Gandhian philosophy, postcolonial studies (in terms of their importance for philosophy) as well as still reverberant existentialist and Marxist doctrines.

The problem of tradition and modernity is one of the key themes of modern Polish history. It was caused by the strong and persistent dominance of political culture, which established itself on the basis of the norms of the noble society. In this form and for a long time it loomed over other opportunities for development as a possible inspiration and binding framework. A high frequency of political crises and a weak modernising balance contributed to the fact that these models remained functional well into the 20th century. There bearers were the political and cultural elite (inteligencja), which formed as informal structures, however, they operated in formal institutional frameworks. Owing to their origins, they prevented, to a certain degree, the process of modernisation, which infringed on their historical identity. Therefore, other social groups benefited from this process, which made it difficult for these groups to enter politics without direct ties to the elite or mental dependence on their models. Politics thus partially paradoxically contradicted modernisation because they were two wholes with different internal constructs.

Neo-pagan movements began to form in Slovakia in mainly late 90s of the 20th century. The main cause of new religious movements in our country has been releasing political situation after the ground-breaking 1989. This disruption and the transition to a free democratic society marked influx of new ideas and directions. One of the main elements of a democratic society is freedom of religion. Researched community brings together people who are interested in the restoration of pre-Christian traditions and material and spiritual elements of this period. We classify this community into groups which, although based on historical facts of Slavic culture, but are also supplemented by other particularly modern elements and elements of other cultures. Researched community is trying to protect the natural values and their distribution in modern conditions. This text addresses the transmission, interpretation and application of ideas leading person in the community and integrating it into everyday life members. It focuses on concrete manifestation of inventing of traditions.

The term New Age movement defines a heterogeneous, non-religious Western spiritual movement that emerged in the second part of the 20th century. It combines Euro-American spiritual heritage, widely understood Eastern philosophy, numerous native traditions, infusing this hybrid with elements of psychology, healthy lifestyle, as well as quantum physics. Because New Age spirituality is practiced occasionally on commercially held workshops, those kinds of seminars have soon become a lucrative business for its teachers and coordinators. The objective of the article is to follow the general history of New Age in the context of native Americans, provide its characteristics, and investigate the 'native American' threads within the New Age movement both in the United States and in Poland. The author focuses on the ethical aspects of commercial exploitation of native American heritage, examines native Americans' stand related to the misappropriations of their spiritual legacy for commercial purposes, as well as actions they take in order to restrict this procedure.

The primary objective of this study is to present, interpret, and apply the findings of a quantitative study focused on the perception of Cyril and Methodius’ significance among Slovaks living abroad. This topic holds considerable potential for examining cultural identity and national consciousness within diasporic communities. The study provides valuable insights into how historical figures such as Saints Cyril and Methodius are perceived and how their legacy resonates among Slovaks living outside their homeland. The findings revealed notable gender differences in the perception of Cyril and Methodius. Moreover, the results indicated significant generational disparities among foreign Slovaks, with older generations demonstrating a stronger connection to religious traditions. The study also highlighted regional differences, as respondents from rural areas with fewer than 1,000 residents exhibited distinct perspectives compared to those residing in large cities. The discussion section contextualizes these findings within broader interdisciplinary frameworks, emphasizing the practical implications of the acquired knowledge. The study seeks to offer concrete recommendations for strengthening connections to national heritage, particularly among foreign Slovaks. It also highlights the potential divergence in perceptions of Cyril and Methodius between Slovaks abroad and those residing in Slovakia.

The author of the paper asks the question why Slovak speakers use grammatical forms such as “budeme sa sústrediť” or “vidíme sa (zajtra)” in spite of their standard command of the grammatical rules. The linguists refer to this by saying that the speakers are under the influence of negative factors and the author draws attention to three reasons: the power of tradition, logic and ideology. A grammatical behaviour like this can be regarded as a cue that we have to do with two modalities of the grammar. However, the linguists and people under the influence of the school start from the assumption that the grammar exists only in the rational modality and they are reacting to the grammatical behaviour in the linguistic practice according to their assumption. This text is meant to encourage readers to overcome this convention and to pay attention to the grammar in the practical modality too. The author suggests that we could begin our exploration of the grammar in this modality by thinking about the grammatical disposition of fluent speakers and this can be done by starting with the theory of background of J. R. Searle.

Martin Chemnitz, an important second-generation, reformation theologian, combined Luther’s theological insights and exegetical skills with Melanchthon’s logical methods of argumentation in his patient search for ecumenical concord. His major theological contribution was his development of an historical method, which he used in his polemics, thus delineating the roots and context of legitimate ‘Gospel theology.’ This method is comprised of: (1) Biblical exegesis, (2) thorough research of the church’s tradition to guide exegesis (keeping the Scriptures as the ultimate authority in case of discrepancies or conflicting views), (3) dogmatic construction, and (4) apologetics. Chemnitz used this method in developing and using his Christological teaching in several key doctrines, including his doctrine of the Eucharist. Relying on what he called a “catholic consensus of the fathers,” Chemnitz extensively used the witness of the ancient fathers of the church – including Eastern church fathers, which distinguished him from other Protestant theologians of his time – as a legitimate source of Christology, as well as other important topics. This “catholic consensus” should be perceived as a further development of the tradition of biblical interpretation within the living organism – the ecumenical Body of Christ. The witness of biblical interpretation of the Christological passages as found in Cyril of Alexandria, John of Damascus, or Basil the Great is welded together with the words of institution, as found in the Gospels and in Paul, the apostle. Chemnitz’s approach carries a relevant ecumenical potential for the dialogue between Eastern and Western branches of Christianity.

The study is an analysis and interpretation of three short stories relating to the early creative period of Margita Figuli –' Vo vlnach Oravy' (In the waves of Orava River) (1931), 'Syn' ( Son) (1933) and 'Zem' (Earth) (1934). They were published as a changed version in a new collection of the stories 'Mamivy dusok' (Specious Taste) in the first volume of the Collected works of Margita Figuli in 1972. They are prose on the subject of rural environment and the theme of fatal relationship of a farmer to his 'land'. The author studies mainly the problem how this relationship in particular texts epically generates through plot and roles of female characters in it. In the short stories from 1931 the farmer hero had left his land because of his love to a woman and then he tragically died in the river rafting logs down the river. The analysis shows that conceptually the text is constructed in a way the balladic end manifested direct epic and semantic consequence of relational rupture to the tradition toward 'land'. Psychologically more complicated short story from 1933 bears as a theme instinct of keeping family and administration of property as moving power influencing the acting of a main hero instinctively and ramblingly manifested as a natural unlimited power - unlimited in a sense of social as well as the ethic limits. In the short story from 1934 a fatal bondage to his land dominates love of a farmer to woman and the love of woman is dominated by the same bondage, too. The author shows that M. Figuli had been building up the paradigmatic foundations of her works from her 'classical period' of writing earlier, in her creative early beginnings.

Folklore is coming into confrontation with other kinds of non – artificial music, which contributes to its perception and acceptance, for example through various forms of adaptation and other way of making use of them other than in the folklore genres. At presence a folk song is not related just to a particular locality or region; popular songs are sung in many places; in some case all over the country. Modern technologies are having an impact on the consciousness of the contemporary folklore (internet). This must be evaluated critically. For this is a system accessible and open to practically everyone. These transformations can be observed on the basis of contemporary research in the Czech lands; however, the situation may differ in other environments.

The topical processes of modern identity-making within Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) on the one hand, and China on the other, are fundamentally results of different forms of cultural and economic transformation, conflict and harmonious social adjustment. The aim of the present article is to show the need to appreciate the role of culture not only as a background to, but also as a constitutive part of, economic dynamics. Thus, it assumes that any comparative analysis of the rise of transitional societies must deal with questions connected to respective value systems, i.e. issues of moral education, political authority, social solidarity, and religious beliefs. It is not coincidental that the rapid recent development of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) owes much to such crucial traditional virtues as social hierarchy, self-discipline, social harmony, strong families and a respect for education. In this context, the present article examines the revival of the Confucian tradition in China. According to previous research results, traditional East European values were in many aspects closer to such virtues then traditional Western values that have been mainly focused upon the idea of individual autonomy. Hence, this study examines the hypothesis that the Central and Eastern European area could function as a cultural and axiological bridge between China and Europe.

The study continues in research of literary aesthetic opinions of S. H. Vajanský in the context of cultural conception. In the aesthetic starting points of Vajanský's conception a significant role was played by classicizing ideal, characterised by 'simplicity', 'adequacy', harmony and also by avoiding of extremes. Another important effect had also Hegelian aesthetics making its part on forming Vajanský's opinions on phenomenon of 'everyday course of life', trivial as an object of an artistic activity. Vajanský inclines to a model of art denoting a limited meaning and is disposed towards connection with an ideology. This connection is inseparable - it is obvious that the idea, which is demanded in the Vajanský as an aesthetics, is strictly defined by Vajanský - as ideologue. Art is not true by concurrence with reality, imitation of it, but by making the only truth present, that means the idea: in this case the idea of 'ourness', nationality, which reveals the substance of 'ideal realism' of Svetozár Hurban Vajanský. Art and literature operates in his conception, which is with no doubts a part of nationalistic cultural model, as means of cultural legitimisation being involved in creating, confirming and representation of national identity. This function of literature and art, in which pathos of nationalistically reviving process occurs, as well as Vajanský's religiosity, are resources of his demand on ethic measure of literature. In his articles published in this period Vajanský continues in reconstruction of the history of Slovak culture, the substance of it is 'ourness' - an abstract principal of collective self-identification, which is not only an act of renewing of the cultural memory - through confirmation of its continuity, stating its perspectives. It shows also a strong ambition to present it as a whole, that means that his conception tends to creating a cultural model which on a certain level of cultural development provides its unity and arrangement. In addition to his program texts Vajanský made and presented cultural and aesthetic conception during the 80th of the 19th century, which without any significant changes in the period of 90th of the 19th century up to the beginning of the 20th century became a foundation for his confrontations not only with the modernistic trends but generally with phenomena which seemed to him 'destruction of unity'.

The article brings back to our memory the ideas of agrarism and the fates of political formation that tried to introduce these ideas into the public and political life of Poland after the Second World War. However, the ideas of agrarism and the political formation implementing its goals and values suffered a defeat in the clash with the doctrine binding in People's Poland. The author describes the way in which this important experience of Polish peasants was erased from the tradition and memory of the Polish nation. She points to the intentional character of the discontinuation of agraristic tradition and the role played in this process by reprisals of the Stalinist period. She shows the contemporary, complex consequences of the ennoblement of socialist solutions and the social costs of the marginalization of democratic, solidary solutions of agrarism that lost in 1947.

Reflecting on the Great-Moravian and Cyril-Methodius traditions in Slovak literature is proved by a number of various comments related to the particular period of time occurring in the works of the earlier provenance. The detailed registration of them is important, however, literary and historical research should also be carried out into writers´ strategies of using such information – the case of Bohuslav Tablic shows that incorporating the information in his reflections on literary history was influenced by certain factors which need to be closely examined.
