It seems evident that within contemporary ethical discourse ancient category of virtue is by far more popular than other ethical concepts of the classical moral philosophy. Socrates was the first to introduce arete into ethics and made it into the most important notion of his ethical teaching. Plato systematized cardinal virtues according to parts of the soul. Ancient Greek aretology has been developed most thoroughly by Aristotle. Arethical elements are nowadays present in some orientations of contemporary ethics, such as neo-Thomism, phenomenology and hermeneutics. Anglo-American virtue ethics attempts to create an integral ethical theory based on the category of virtue. Such ethics is based on a principle that persons, rather than human actions, are a point of reference of all moral evaluations. Virtue ethics has become a subject of intense debates owing to Alasdair MacIntyre’s After Virtue. He diagnosed the failure of the Enlightenment project concerning the foundations of ethics, and proposed to return to Greek teleologism. MacIntyre supports a view of virtue as cultivated in a particular community. Thus virtue is not universal and it does not transcend the historical; it is essentially a social value. In the subjective sense it is an acquired trait. Appreciation of virtue in contemporary moral philosophy is combined in genere with a specific turn towards an integral subject. It is a sign of search of human inner harmony and human teleological structure. Virtue is a remedy for ethical atomism which axiologically focuses on particular man’s actions, and tends to lose from sight an integral vision of morality as the essence of humanity.

The text tries to answer the question of the sources of misunderstandings connected with the reception of Spinoza’s philosophy, especially with his understanding of the substance, attributes, modifications and infinity in Ethics. Assumptions made by Spinoza, for instance the postulate of describing the human being as a „state in a state” of Nature during a research procedure comply with the rules of model of the modern science. In Ethics, based on The Elements by Euclid, the author presents the attempt to define the basic terms used by the philosophers and scholars of the XVIIth century, and, on this basis and taking axioms into account, he works out a number of theorems concerning Nature, including the nature of a human being. Euclid’s Elements served as a template of the construction of a theory, which in a logically necessary manner, precisely and at the same time „suspending” the interference of destructive human emotions, proves the properties of the objects of geometry. Spinoza tried to establish a theory which would examine the properties of human mind and body treated as a subject of science (geometry and physics as far as body is concerned, psychology and ethics in case of the mind) in an equally rational, precise and motionless matter, starting from the basic definitions. Its basics became, among others, definitions of substance, attribute and modification, inspired by the Aristotelian-Scholastic tradition. Those terms, interpreted in Christian Europe through the teachings of the Old and New Testament, have taken a completely different character and meaning in Ethics. Upon encountering the text of definitions and theorems the readers were unable and, quite often, unwilling to resist the temptation of adding their own beliefs to the contents. This article treats of this conflict of language and beliefs.

The article aims to prove that proper relations with company employees are crucial from the point of view of corporate social responsibility. The employee is defined very broadly and considered the main “contractor” of the company. Building proper relations with employees is a clear indicator of the extent to which the company identifies with the values of corporate social responsibility and whether they are ready to apply it in business activity practice.

The History of Ethics has often dissociated experience and rational normativity, which are the epistemological components of Ethics. Scheler has tried the synthesis of both through the phenomenological a prioris. But this experience is emotional and thus does not integrate enough in itself the person. This article analyses and develops the thesis of Wojtyla that there is a phenomenological experience which is simultaneously anthropological and ethical. For such an experience reveals the person in acting and her moral growth with the dinamysm of the person.
