Polish culture and societyEditor’s Preface
The topic of the current issue is Place, History and Culture for education. We have tried to collect different scientifi c experiences from various disciplines. In this issue of the Journal history is juxtaposed with contemporary phenomena. We can fi nd here many links between historical events and contemporary society- its values, ideas, and ways of thinking and doing things in everyday life.
The two opening theoretical texts build a context for the rest of the authors. Some of the analyzed events have roots in the deep past, and some of them are very modern and show the change in our perception of the world, our thinking, and creating of models of the world.
The majority of the texts are concerned with analyzing and rethinking about Polish society. In some cases this is very specifi c to local problems but in others it concerns wider trends.
I hope that every reader, including the most discerning, interested in changes in the modern world, can fi nd here something of interest.
