- This article attempts to present the philosophical perspective of the causes of the French Revolution in terms of the eminent Polish ethicist and philosopher Fr Jacek Woroniecki. The thread of the revolution, in terms of its causes and consequences, is constantly present in the work of the Polish Dominican. Revolutionary according to Father Woroniecki is everything that reverses the natural relationship between things, destroys the inherent order of things, puts the interest of the part above the interest of the whole in social life, threatening to collapse the social organism. According to Woroniecki, individualism is the subsoil of the revolutionary element. Although present in the history of human thought, as a consequence of original sin, individualism experienced its apogee in the age of the Reformation. Luther's metaphysical egoism, defined by Maritain as self-centeredness, eventually penetrated all areas of human life, breaking social bonds. Descendant of Luther's egocentrism, Descartes, systematized Luther's thoughts in the intellectual field. Thanks to him, particularistic ideas prevailed over the traditional, universalist view of the social dimension of the progress of human thought. Another of the thinkers whose views have become a source of revolution is according to Father Woroniecki J.J. Rousseau. His sentimentalism, which is like a complement to Luther's egocentrism, in comparison with the views of Descartes, is the pinnacle of individualism in modern philosophical thought. These individualistic, anti-social currents, which were a consequence of the rejection of the philosophy of being, contributed to the complete decline of philosophical thought in the eighteenth century, thus paving the way for doctrinaires. Woroniecki accurately interprets utopian revolutionary slogans and points to the danger of apparent counterbalance to these trends, which was sought in the nineteenth century. Under the cloak of freedom, he unmasks individualist liberalism, the medicine for which socialism was to become. Then he points to envy as the foundation of egalitarianism, which, based on radicalism, became the driving force behind all totalitarianisms. He then exposes humanitarianism, which strikes at patriotism and in the name of universal slogans breaks social bonds. As an antidote to these threats, Father Woroniecki points to the doctrine of St. Thomas Aquinas as a synthesis of the thoughts of the entire human race, based on objective data of being and truth, which, with its universalism, objectivity and realism, transcends all partial systems and thus provides the basis for the unity of social life.
