Abstract - Homo Creator Nobilis – a chivalrous idea

The idea of Homo creator nobilis was created over 10 years ago and the term describes a person who should create the goodness in himself, in relation with another human beings and the community. He should build the cultural space in accord with nature and the Word of God. God's logos is a timeless moral law and a task of creative activity. It concerns, in particular, the world of science and culture, including physical culture. In the Scientific Year's Issue of ''Ido Movement for Culture'' the term homo creator nobilis was assigned to many (living and already deceased) noble and creative people associated with different spheres of life. People of truth should be found, in particular, among the clergymen, scientists, culture creators, contemporary nobility of spirit, as well as the representatives of martial arts. For them knightly ethos of the past, honorary code and tradition are still important.
In recognition of special merits there can be given orders, medals and honorary crosses. Along with state honorary awards, elite organizations introduce their own decorations. Amongst them is the European Nobility Club (ENC) at the Idōkan Poland Association. The Orders of Knighthood Homo Creator Nobilis were awarded to unique, artistic and creative personalities with a high sense of honour and responsibility, who are still active in the circle of martial arts and combat sports. They were awarded to Prof. Zabłocki and Dr R. Maroteaux, while Prof. A. Szyszko-Bohusz is going to accept the order at a different time.
