Abstract

The paper contains some remarks on Tadeusz Styczeń’s paper Problem autonomii etyki [“The Problem of the Autonomy of Ethics”]. First, I describe the historical circumstances in which the text was written and place it within the context of its author’s investigations concerning the methodological and epistemological status of ethics. Next, I propose two observations: the first concerns the concept of the autonomy of the moral agent, while the second refers to the relation between ethics and philosophical anthropology. I conclude that the relation in question is closer that Tadeusz Styczeń suggests in the discussed article.

Keywords:

Tadeusz Styczeń, SDS, autonomy of ethics, autonomy of the moral agent, status of ethics, relation between ethics and philosophical anthropology
