Streszczenie
In the post-modern axiological chaos, the family is essential in educating to values (with some exceptions, of course) – this is the main thesis of the Author. The text first addressed the uneasy task of a multi- source description of what values are and an in-depth analysis of the modern crisis. Then, after placing this data on the screen of the philosophical-pedagogical and social context, the author designs on it marriage and family looking at the environmental transmission of values. From her observations she draws conclusions, which in practice can be an important help in educating the younger generation towards values.
