• Analysis of the crisis of European culture
• Reflections on the role of Christianity in Europe
• Assessment of the impact of the Enlightenment on modern Europe
• Considerations on the future of Europe in the context of globalization
• Attempts to save European culture

For over a century, there has been open talk about the crisis of European culture, and even about its inevitable decline and ultimate end. This is primarily said by those who view the history of culture biologically, describing it with birth, development, and finally death. However, it is important to note that one of the foundations of European culture is Christianity, which extends far beyond Europe both geographically and culturally.

It is also important to remember that the current state of European culture has been largely shaped by the systematic project initiated by the thinkers of the Enlightenment to build a society excluding Christianity and its achievements. The growing reluctance of a large part of Europeans towards their own Christian culture is a difficult phenomenon to understand, especially since it continues despite the increasingly visible symptoms of crisis in Europe today.

As Christians, we can be sure of one thing: the twilight of Europe does not have to and will not mean the end of Christian culture, although it may mean the end of the Europe we know. Above all, however, it is worth taking a closer look, together with the author, at both the phenomena deepening the crisis and the attempts to save Europe, to restore its healthy culture, because without it, Europe is and will remain only a geographical area susceptible to development by foreigners...

The book "The Twilight of Europe? Perspectives on the Future..." is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the contemporary challenges facing Europe and seeks answers to questions about its future. The author, Robert Ptaszek, insightful analyzes the processes taking place in European culture and proposes solutions that can help rebuild its healthy foundations. It is a reading that forces reflection and inspires action.
