Struktura wartości moralnych

Abstract

In the present paper the author tries to examine the contents of the notion "moral values". The undertaken analysis shows, that moral values have a complex structure consisting of two components. One of the contents layers comprises all human values (economical, biological, etc.), which constitute the substantial foundation for human morals; each of these values has a moral character as long as it contributes to the realization of human and Christian vocation in a man. Against the background of comparison of substantial values and the ultimate aim of human actions and first of all with the sense of human life, there appear formal moral values. They are the positive values of the right, the negative values of the evil, and – to make the division full – the neutral values called adiaphora.
