Natura czy kultura?
Application of Foreign Rules on the Conflict of Laws

Summary/Abstract: The following article considers the relation culture versus nature from a cultural perspective. Assuming “double” subjectivity (self-awareness) of man as a constituent feature of human nature, which distinguishes man from the world of nature and situates him/her in the world of culture, the author attempts to show that both the idea of cultural determination through nature and the idea of determination of nature through culture have their historiccultural origins. They both “respond” to particular social demand: to a positive or negative outlook on nature or culture, depending on which of these two “worlds” is dominant in academic discourse and philosophical reflection at a given time.
