There are three meanings of decent in modern dictionaries. The first meaning refers to the human being and his moral values. In this sense, decency belongs to imponderabilia that influence our actions and beliefs, define values. Other meanings of decency concern objects and phenomena. The author of the article has decided to verify the functioning of DECENCY in students’ language and their system of values. One hundred subjects took part in the research (fifty Polish philology students and fifty students of Logopedics and Audiology at UMCS in Lublin). The questionnaire contained two open questions (1. What is your understanding of the word decency?; 2. Who or what can it refer to?) and the following instruction: “Indicate features of a person, an object and an activity that can be defined as decent”. Rich and varied data have been obtained. The researcher concludes that for respondents a decent man is more than a norm, a decent object is normal or frequently substandard. Respondents recognize the value of decency. Decent means human, good-hearted, and with principles that are obeyed.

Sex and sexuality are two obsessions of the 19th century. As the literature of this time, influenced by the Victorian hypocritical morality, rejects these subjects, considered as “immoral”, the relation of any form of sexual act is consequently absent in the works of 19th century writers, even of those who consider themselves as realists. However, the work of a writer like Emile Zola cannot overlook this problem, so important for naturalism. For Zola, sex is a vital activity and should be shown in works of art. Therefore, to give his writings the appearance of decency, Zola uses metaphors that “sexualise” some elements of the world of his novels, like plants, animals, things, places and everyday occupations. This allows him to show, in an imaginary way, the aspects of life that cannot be displayed openly and directly. Thank to his poetic talent these images constitute a valuable part of his Rougon-Macquart series.

Introduction: Under Polish law there is a criminal offence, called incest, where close relatives perform an act of sexual intercourse with each other. Its penalization has a long tradition under Polish law. However, its criminalization remains controversial.Purpose: To examine whether incest should still be penalized.Materials and methods: The provisions of the Polish Penal Code and the relevant regulations of selected European states have been analysed. The judgement of the European Court for Human Rights and the criminal law literature have been examined as well.Results: There are both reasons for the depenalization of incest and arguments in favour of its continued penalization.Conclusions: The issue of incest may be seen both in the light of criminal law and from the point of view of morality. Looking at the problem solely from a legal perspective, the penalization of incest is not necessary and thus Article 201 of the Penal Code is redundant. Looking at the problem from a moral perspective, the opposite conclusion should be made.

This article tries to analyze the meaning and relevance of the concept of solidarity as compared to the concept of justice. While ‘justice’ refers to rights and duties (Moralität), the concept of solidarity refers to relations of personal commitment and recognition (Sittlichkeit). The article wants to answer the question whether solidarity and liberal justice should be seen as mutually exclusive or whether both approaches should be regarded as complementary to each other. The paper starts with an analysis of liberal theories of justice which are followed by an analysis of the descriptive and a moral understanding of the concept of solidarity. The importance of solidarity lies in its relational aspects, particularly its emphasis on cooperation and commonality. The paper argues that while solidarity is more fundamental than justice, both concepts are important for the arrangement of health care practices. The paper gives special attention to the concept of decent care, reflective solidarity and humanitarian solidarity which is seen as fundamental for all health care policies and care practices.

The purpose of this article is to draw attention to the fact that when it comes to the translation of contemporary Italian fiction into Romanian, obscene and indecent language is being censored. Terms like ethics of reading, ethics of translation or decency will be discussed in order to find an answer to the question posed by the legitimacy of censorship in the name of decency, differently understood, in this particular case, by the translator and the author or the readers. The inadequacy of not translating obscene language will be demonstrated using textual analysis techniques.

FR

Cet ouvrage veut attirer l’attention sur un fait assez commun concernant la traduction des oeuvres de la littérature italienne contemporaine, en roumain, celui de censurer les termes licencieux et le langage grossier. Des termes comme l’éthique de la lecture, l’éthique de la traduction ou pudeur sont mis en discussion dans la tentative de donner une réponse à la question posée par la légitimité de la censure dans un sens de la pudeur, compris dans ce cas-ci différemment par le traducteur que par l’auteur ou le public. En faisant appel aux techniques d’analyse textuelle, on essayera de démontrer que la non traduction littérale des termes licencieux est inadéquate.

A standard of decency, which is not necessarily reflected in legislation, is present in social awareness. It is often forgotten, but felt in harmful actions of administration toward the development of an individual. Invoking the right to justify the legality and fairness of such behavior when the law is used as a moral alibi – this jurisdictive treatment of morality, or stepping too far into the ethical areas with the standards of the law should be considered a dangerous attitude. The author justifies a thesis that the ethical dimension of the law must be sought in its humanizing, rather than surrendering to its totalitarian interpretation.
