Find Common Ground?

Abstract. The article is
a response to the gradual increase of votes on the benefits of the so-called
illiberal democracy. The motivation for writing arose from the attack of state
power against the Central European University in Hungary, the attack on a
freedom of expression and separation of state power in Poland, but also as a
response to the rise of extremist intolerant movements in Europe. The paper, „Can
Foxes and Hedgehogs communicate“, deals with the discussion between opinions
supporting the approach of philosophical absolutism on the one hand and
relativism on the other. The author focuses on the gradual finding of a suitable
concept of values on which legal norms should be built in a society defined by
the idea of pluralism, the search for applicable content for the notion of
justice and the role of morality in law in the 21st century. The result is the
introduction of the so-called political morality, which is an expression of the
fundamental values of the associate members of the community within the
political space that all members share. Political morality is thus a reflection
of principles of a modern liberal democratic concept of Rechtsstaat. In the
context of Central Europe, the concept of freedom and equality is at the center
of our attention.
