  • Abstrakt w j. angielskim: This article searches for an answer to the fundamental question of human rights in the conditions of the separation of the Church and the state in Poland and the question about a possibility of symbiotic coexistence of believers and nonbelievers within these two areas. First, our understanding of man as a religious-legal-communal being is outlined. Then a brief summary of the origins of law is presented, including the understanding of human rights based on natural law and/or positive law. At this point, it is necessary to specify the role of human conscience in relation to these laws as well as the role and place of God and state/secular authority in understanding and observing them. A democratic system attempts to satisfy both transcendental and existential human needs. Although the article focuses on the Catholic community, it also accounts for nonbelievers and believers of other religious traditions. Against this background, four constitutions of the Republic of Poland (1791, 1921, 1952 (the communist period) and the most recent one of 1997) are analysed in order to check to what extent these positive constitutional laws protected the inalienable fundamental human rights (including freedom of conscience and freedom of religion). The analyses of these constitutions are interesting not only because they start with the second democratic constitution of modern times (1791) but also because they cover a communist constitution, enacted at a special time in the history of Poland. The conclusions of these considerations suggest the need for a new/renewed anthropology in the European context and the need to search for agreement in the area of law, religion, nature and reason.
