On the normativity objection to Horwich’s minimalist theory of truth, his theory fails to capture the value of truth. In response to this objection, he argues that his minimalist theory of truth is compatible with the value of truth. On his view, the concept of truth is not constitutively normative, but the value of true beliefs can be explained instead by the belief-truth norm that we ought to want our beliefs to be true, and the value of true beliefs expressed in this norm is a moral value. I accept a deflationary theory of truth, according to which truth is too thin a concept to be constituted by any substantial norms. Thus I agree that the concept of truth is not constitutively normative. In this paper, however, I argue that the alleged value of true beliefs can be better explained in terms of epistemic normativity rather than moral normativity.

Commemorative narrative as a genre relying on memory covers a very long time period, bringing the past lived by the ancestors, then reassessed, re-established, adopted or modified and passed on to the next generation. The past thus revives in memories - the recollection of past events and experience handed over to another generation. The commemorative narrative has a potential to gradually process long-lasting developments, changes and shifts and so it may clarify certain attitudes held in the present. The writer uses with moral values represented in memorates to analyse ambiguous and contradictory attitudes manifested by individuals in concrete situations and relations as well as in their approach to Christian norms and the Church. The topics are developed around essential norms applied onto extramarital relations, children born out of wedlock, theft and examples of mutual assistance.

In this article the authoress discusses the influence of Tadeusz Kotarbinski's work on the academic achievements of Maria Ossowska. Her analysis is based on the polemic between the two scholars. She begins by pointing out considerable differences between the two scholars. They have different views on both the subject of ethics and its methodological requirements, and on what moral standard of evaluation is. However, both academics have much in common. In particular, there is a significant agreement between their views on moral values and their shared belief that it is necessary to develop a 'moral backbone' or a stable hierarchy of values to which one should remain faithful whatever the circumstances. Other common aspects of the ethical views of Tadeusz Kotarbinski and Maria Ossowska include their attitudes to the ethics of struggle, their understanding of the idea of honour and its derivative relation to other values, their perceptions of conscience as a form of shame or contempt, and their views on the role and nature of virtues.

The poet, author, and Protestant priest Bohuslav Tablic (1769 – 1732) published only seven occasional speeches from his sermon writings. As he explained, this was due to the lowered interest of the readers in religious literature as such. The sermons that were published strongly aimed at forming the readers’ values and opinions with respect to general religious issues. Influenced by Enlightenment rationalism, Tablic focused on moral norms in his sermons. He saw the solution to the critical state of his own Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession and the loose morals of its members in a deepening of the confessional awareness of the community. He believed in a strong (supernatural) motivation of religion towards moral purity and sought the benefits of religion in spiritual unity of the society, its effective working, and quality social relations. He saw religion as a significant educational and culture-forming phenomenon. The country’s progress in Tablic’s view was to be based on active participation of morally mature and educated citizens on the religious and public life. In his sermons, like in his other writings, he is a moderate enlightened thinker and author.
