Abstract
The article is devoted to the analysis of the content and practical implementation of the Polish ethos of service for the community as a certain system of value-ideological and moral attitudes that were implemented through everyday practices. The author concluded that the ethos of community service had represented a set of values and worldview that had been a synthesis of traditions of shlyachta's republicanism of the Commonwealth, in particular in the sphere of public activity as a manifestation of patriotism, with the new European ideas of individualism and active life position of individual members of society. The absence of legal channels for the implementation of national and political rights and freedoms of Poles had caused the increasing of activity in the cultural, educational, business, charity, and other spheres of public life. It led to a further demarcation between public and private spheres of social life, the increasing role of the Polish traditional social institutions, in particular the Catholic Church and the family. The ideology of positivism and the ideas of “organic working”, which spread in Polish society after the defeat of the January uprising of 1863, made an important influence on the idea of working for the community. The most common forms of social activity of the Poles in this period were the foundation of various charitable societies, the opening of illegal schools, in particular boarding houses for girls. First of all, at the expense of the public, the number of Polish periodicals increased, sports and cultural associations, mutual aid societies were founded, etc. Throughout this period, the working for the community was seen as the duty of every conscious Pole, whose implementation would bring about the restoration of the Polish state.
