Odpowiedzialność w wymiarze indywidualnym i społecznym

The paper presents an attempt to construe ethics as normative antropology on the basis of the experience of moral obligation as it is expressed in the judgement: „I should perform this act” which is described at times as „the voice of conscience”. An analysis of the structure of that judgement reveals the structure of man as a subject commensurate (in the phenomenological and metaphysical sense) with its passing. An essential thing for the outcome of such an anylysis is the assertion that the subject of the judgement „I should ...” reveals the matter of the realization of his „I” as a task for himself towards himself. His fulfillment is conditioned by the decision to affirm every other „I”. The choice to be with others in a fellowship (without excluding anyone) becomes for „I” a necessary condition of self fulfillment (of gaining one's own identity).
