This investigation of the modern crisis of ethics has been inspired by the phenomenology of Adam Węgrzecki. His texts analyzing the relationship between the personal subject and values opened a unique space within contemporary ethics, presenting a vast array of complex problems. From among these I chose the two I believe to be most important for ethics. The first (first part of the article) is his reflections upon the source of ethics, which is given in experience. Here an attempt has been made to outline the anthropological minimum necessary as the basis of ethics. The second (second part of the article) is Węgrzecki’s theory of the personal subject and of his formation in contact with values, in his individual activity. The subject's ability to "read" values has an essential influence on his life and ethical formation.

The presented work attempts to show a link between business and global responsibility with the Socratic idea of self-knowledge. The today’s ethics discusses the fundamental issues of the man’s place in the world. The human existence is one of the causes of the contemporary crisis. This crisis between man and the world obliges us to raise a radical question of the ethical origins of individual and global responsibility for the quality of life, including also the future human generations. This question requires going back to the historical and ethical considerations about the Socratic project of good life. The starting point for the Socratic ethics is an interpersonal and inner-personal dialogue; the subsequent result of that is man’s practical wisdom of how to build his own life together with others. Socrates argues that the key issue of responsibility is awakening of self-awareness and the way to achieve this objective is dialogue.
