Review, Ethics, Morality - Abstract
- The book by Pawel Czarnecki, a young and very creative philosopher, consists of four chapters: Etyka- definicja, historia ("Ethics-definition, history"), Etyka współczesna ("Contemporary Ethics"), Współczesne dylematy etyki ("Dilemmas of Ethics Today") and Etyka w Polsce w okresie transformacji ustrojowej ("Ethics in Poland during the Political Transformations"), together with an excursus entitled Etyka chrześcijańska w "nowej Europie" ("Christian Ethics in the 'New Europe'). Although the author says in the introduction that the book is only meant to be an aid to philosophical studies, even a cursory reading creates the impression that this is not just an academic textbook for specialists, but also a concise and readable presentation of ethics as the science of morality for the layman. Ethics is sometimes perceived as an academic discipline isolated from the problems of daily life, and of little use to the average person.(fragment of text)
