The author points to a necessity to refer in the cultural-social space to a transcendental basis of values, to the foundation of moral values, to the order of good and truth, and he warns against the dangers that are brought by a purely pragmatic approach in which the main role is played by legal regulations and actions that have an institutional-administrative character.plAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Polandhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/pl/filozofiaphilosophyfilozofia współczesnacontemporary philosophyredukcjonizmreductionismredukcjonizm pragmatycznypragmatic reductionismaksjologiaaxiologyrewolucjarevolutionrewolucja aksjologicznaaxiological revolutionwartościvalueswartości duchowespiritual valuessubstytuty wartości duchowychsubstitutes for spiritual valuesfilozofia naukiphilosophy of sciencetranscendencjatranscendenceArticle
