Polski wykład z prawa rzymskiego w postmodernistycznym świecie
The content of most Polish textbooks on Roman law is based on schemes that date back to the 19th century. In the 20th century, Polish jurisprudence was greatly influenced by the doctrine of the German historical school. The manifestation of this remains both the systematics of modern textbooks and their content. However, times have changed. We are witnessing universal processes such as globalization, decolonization, digitization, decodification, etc. Presenting ancient material to students without a modern commentary makes no sense. A Roman law lecture should contribute to building an intercultural dialogue, not unreflectively duplicate content that is tedious at best and annoying at worst. If Roman law is to maintain its status as the most important propaedeutic subject that Polish students learn in the first year of law, it must begin to relate to current realities. Our own cultural identity should be taken into account, and the solutions created by the Romans must be shown to a greater extent in comparative terms.
