Abstract

Visuomenė pastamosius šimtmečius mainėsi iš nekintamos santvarkos į judrų ir sudėtingą gyvenimo būdą. Amžini ir nekintami dėsniai nebepripažįstami tokie, kokie buvo, o atrodo sąlyginiai, atsižvelgiant į žmogaus ir žmonijos patirtį. Seniau krikščionys savo doros ir etikos nuosprendžius remdavo Bažnyčios mokymu ir dėsniais. Individualistinėje kultūroje, pabrėžiančioje žmogaus laisvę, rinktis, atrodo. nebėra visomis sąlygoms tinkamų visuotinių dėsnių. Keitėsi ne tik vertybių pirmenybės tvarka, bet ir turinys – šeima dabar nebe ta kaip prieš šimtmečius. Tas pats pasakytina apie vertybes - religiją, asmens laisvę, socialinius uždavinius. Tačiau krikščiunybė turi vertybinį branduolį ir pirmenybių tvarką Dievo buvimui tarp žmonių išreikšti. Visos švietimo sistemos ar teorijos pagrįstos savitu žmogaus asmens supratimu, nesvarbu tai – sovietinis kolektyvizmas, technologijos amžiaus samprata ar labai individualistinė. Modernaus gyvenimo sudėtingoje aplinkoje krikščionybės užduotis yra pagrįsti savo paveldo savitumą, reikšmę ir prasmę modernia patirtimi ir suprantamai išreikšti.

Summary

Introduction

This theme is to be situated in the context of the evolution of values perception and moral edu­ cation in the 201h century - which is to be related with the important stagcs of ethical consciousness of the past ccnturies. Thcse differcnces need to be clarified constantly in order to enhancc mutual understanding, to avoid misundcrstandings. We meet the major issue of value systems and cthics, the morality of a particular type of society. This is a crucial issue in Western society, a daily struggle bctween contradictory options about the value of life, of pcople and populations, of cultures and traditions. Our common human aspirations and sensitivity for basic human values guarantees a shared search for truth, including a further cxploration of the Christian interpretation of our ethical and moral responsibility today and in the near future
