Summary/Abstract: The article considers the problem of adaptation of the law of Ukraine to EU privatelaw. It analyzes the concept of “European Law” and “EU law” as elements of Europeancivilization and their correlation is determined. On the basis of differentiation between the Western and the Eastern European civilizations a conclusion about the existenceof corresponding traditions of private law is made. The idea that the concept of privatelaw is grounded in western culture is based on the fact that there is a need for the adaptation of Ukrainian law to EU law. This approach is the basis for the conclusion that the success of the adaptation of the law of Ukraine to EU law depends primarily on the willingness of Ukrainian society to accept the fundamental values of Europeancivilization, such as liberalism, human rights, the right of private property, freedom of contract etc.
