Summary/Abstract: In this article, we will present the issue of basic values necessary for the functioning of modern societies, guaranteeing the development of a democratic and civil society. We will first discuss the concept of basic values in sociology and Catholic social teaching, and then basic values as a social fact (sociological narrative). Basic values as general, timelessly binding principles build the political framework for the functioning of individual countries, constitute the (legal) foundation of democracy and citizenship and the common good. However, in social life the shapes in which these values are realized emerge.
