An introduction to the authoress book (forthcoming under the same title, to be published by WAB Publishers). She has prepared a collection of interviews held over a few years by her students talking to people of Sandomierz region. The starting point for their conversations was a painting by a 18th-century artist Karol de Prevot, showing a ritual murder committed by some Jews against a Christian child, which has been hanging by this very day in the Sandomierz cathedral. As it has appeared, a belief in that bloody legend has prevailed among the interviewed, the picture having remained a sort of relic by itself. On this basis, the authoress makes certain generalisations by making blood libels myths part of the context of W. Propp's fairylike compositions, tracing the explanation of their curious vivacity down there.

The text deals with the way collective perception patterns work in connection with the memory and moral history of societies. The authoress provides examples of persons excluded from various communities after they exposed the crimes committed in those communities. In each instance, the reason for the exclusion is the inability of the community to accept their communal guilt. A further part of the text deals with political history pursued in Poland in the years 2005-07, characterized, among other things, by a search for external culprits who could be blamed for all of Poland's failures. To support her hypothesis, the authoress refers to field studies showing that to this day many Poles cherish the conviction that the Jews actually rule Poland.

In the present issue of 'Etyka' the proceedings of the conference held in December 2004 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Maria Ossowska's death are published. It contains the authors papers that were presented as well as short opinions and views of the panel discussants. At the time she begun her academic career Maria Ossowska had to overcome significant difficulties to win recognition in a men's world. It was a time when women started to succeed also in the field of science. On entering this man-dominated world M. Ossowska did not give up her gender. A talented scholar, she always stressed that she was not merely an ethicists but an investigator of morals. Maria Ossowska had the rare ability to reconcile personal sensitivity to human problems, and so to moral phenomena, with a stance of a researcher who analyzes them thoroughly. She did that with admirable independency. It is a difficult and rare ability which in authors' opinion is particularly important now, especially in Poland, where independent thought about morals is almost disappearing. This is a legacy which warrants Maria Ossowska a special place in Polish science.
