The importance of multiculturalism for the development of tourism, consistently emphasized in the literature, testifies to the popularity of this form of tourism. Poland has historically been a transitional country between East and West, a country where different cultures existed side by side: Polish, German, Jewish and Russian. For centuries, Poland was a meeting place of different religions and cultures, and today’s landscape still shows this. The catastrophe of World War II brought the annihilation of a multicultural society and created a homogeneity unprecedented in our history.

The analyses presented in this essay are aimed at identifying potential, directions for the rationalization of socio-economic systems, serving not only to counter crisis destruction, but above all the global crisisogenicity that is now characteristic. The need to search for rationalizing solutions is persuaded not only by the crisis sweeping the world in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic and which exposes the systemic dysfunctions of the global economy. It is also convinced by the crisis multiplication characteristic of the modern world and already occurring before the pandemic, that is, the overlapping of various crises, which creates a specific, thickening crisis network.

KALOKAGATHOS. Kalos kai agathos – a Greek ideal combining truth, goodness and beauty, the unity of the virtues of mind, heart and body. The term was derived from two Greek adjectives: kalos – “beautiful” and agathos – “good”. The noun kalos has a broader meaning exceeding the modern concept of beauty. The Greeks applied it not only to things and objects, but also to human characters, professions, and even political systems. It was used to describe all things which appealed to the human senses and provided them with experiences of an ethical nature.
