Proces rozwoju moralnego

Abstract

The process of moral growth participates in the full development of the personality which opens to the environment, the social group, and the culture. At the same time it is the completion, or, more precisely, the interiorization of that development. It takes place in the deepest layers of man, mainly in his conscience. It is based on interdisciplinary research activity, the integration of data, and the interiorization of values. It is possible to distinguish the following stages in the process of moral growth: anomy, heteronomy and moral autonomy, accidental morality, circumstantial morality, and conscious morality. Due to this development man ascends the successive stages of existence; he becomes more and more himself, and, being fully aware of his aims, he acts accordingly.
