This article discusses two fundamental attitudes of modern European society, which manifest themselves as a political choice. These are progressive and conservative views. They often act as a source of social conflict. Since the french Revolution, this difference has also manifested itself as the political left and right. The thesis of the article is that the fundamental dilemma between the two appears to be a problem today, because the progressive position advocates open and unlimited possibilities of human choice and production, while perceiving humanity formally and subordinated to the state and global ideological structure. This can be controversial in today's technologically advanced world. The conservative position emphasizes the role of the community and puts a limit on human abilities, which is dictated by natural givenness and the principles of social hierarchy mediated by tradition.
