The paper proposes an empirical method to investigate linguistic prescriptions as inherent corrective behaviors. The behaviors in question may but need not necessarily be supported by any explicit knowledge of rules. It is possible to gain insight into them, for example by extracting information about corrections from revision histories of texts (or by analyzing speech corpora where users correct themselves or one another). One easily available source of such information is the revision history of Wikipedia. As is shown, the most frequent and short corrections are limited to linguistic errors such as typos (and editorial conventions adopted in Wikipedia). By perusing an automatically generated revision corpus, one gains insight into the prescriptive nature of language empirically. At the same time, the prescriptions offered are not reducible to descriptions of the most frequent linguistic use.

Przedmiotem artykułu jest relacja między pedagogiką a etyką. Artykuł ma charakter analityczny oraz metateoretyczny. Celem artykułu jest uzasadnienie tezy o potrzebie systemowej obecności etyki w pedagogice. Zdaniem autora jej brak prowadzi do degeneracji pedagogiki jako nauki w jej aspekcie (poziomie) normatywnym. Sformułowaną tezę autor uznaje za istotną w kontekście dyskusji dotyczących naukowego statusu pedagogiki, zwłaszcza jej humanistycznej specyfiki oraz upowszechniania się naturalistycznego paradygmatu nauki.

The subject of this article is the relation between pedagogy and ethics. The character of the article is analytical and metatheoretical. The article aims at justifying the thesis about the need of systemic presence of ethics in pedagogy. In the author’s opinion, the lack of ethics leads to the degeneration of pedagogy as a field of study in its normative aspect (level). The formulated thesis is regarded by the author as crucial in the context of discussions concerning the scientific status of pedagogy: its humanistic specificity as well as popularisation of the naturalistic paradigm of study in particular.

The paper deals with moral theory by Richard Mervyn Hare (1919—2002), British philosopher and meta-ethicist, who searched for the moral thinking in setting the agreement between formalism and utilitarianism. Having discussed basic axioms of Hare’s prescriptivism the author discusses it critically.

The central metaethical contention of "Veritatis Splendor" is that an indispensable element of any plausible conception of moral agency must always be a specific notion of a moral act – an act executed by a moral agent. In my paper I focus on the way in which the interpretation of a moral act as a specific enterprise fully identifiable and determined by its clearly outlined aim (the object of an act) informs the concept of moral agency – human faculty of deliberating upon and performing moral acts. In view of the pledge made by the encyclical’s author not to “impose upon the faithful any particular theological system, still less a philosophical one” I try to demonstrate that the dependence (or perhaps interdependence) in question is of the most basic nature and can thus be construed as a key condition for a genuinely rational character of any ethical theory.
