The present paper is an attempt at analytical presentation of selected elements of an evangelical foundation that John Paul II shapes to be the basis of revival activities of “the countenance of earth” towards civilization of love. In his teaching and activities, John Paul II refers to universal brotherhood of all people and to love for every single human being. People should earnestly strive for fourfold primacy in the orientation of the human spirit, that is for the primacy of a person over a thing, ethics over technology, “be more” over “have more”, and mercifulness over justice. Such primacy determines the directions for the building of civilisation of love, which protects the fundamental good, which is human life. Elementary respect for life thus constitutes the most essential condition for building civilisation of love. The paper aims to uncover again and revitalize the timeliness of the message.
The momentous changes which began at the end of the previous century in many world countries (notably in the so-called former socialist bloc states) are definitely far from complete. There is no doubt that the process is still ongoing. And, what is more important, no one can even approximately predict when it will come to an end. Because of its exceptional complexity, systemic transformation should be regarded as a long-term process which spans generations. Therefore, the term ‘continuation' is frequently used in reference to this phenomenon. The present study discusses the most significant (at least according to the author) issues and problems of systemic transformation. The author also puts forward specific suggestions for directions of further economic and interdisciplinary research into the field
