This article is an attempt to look at the latest novel by Dmitry Glukhovsky – Text – against the writer’s previous work. The author of the article draws attention to the continuous creative evolution of the Russian artist, as well as the wide range of his writing skills. The Text is a psychological novel that constitutes a successful marriage of classic themes, motifs or problems with what is current and strongly related to the progress of technology and changes in the perception of the reality. The author of the Text appears as a watchful observer of the world around him, who in his first realistic novel makes an accurate diagnosis of the condition of modern man.

Niniejszy artykuł stanowi próbę usytuowania ostatniej jak dotąd powieści Dmitrija Głuchowskiego – Tekst – na tle wcześniejszej twórczości pisarza. Autorka artykułu zwraca uwagę na nieustanną ewolucję twórczą rosyjskiego artysty, a także na szeroki wachlarz jego umiejętności warsztatowych. Tekst to powieść psychologiczna, stanowiąca udany mariaż klasycznych wątków, motywów czy problemów z tym, co aktualne, mocno związane z postępem techniki i zmianami w sposobie postrzegania rzeczywistości. Autor Tekstu jawi się jako baczny obserwator otaczającego świata, który w swej pierwszej realistycznej powieści dokonuje trafnej diagnozy kondycji współczesnego człowieka.

This paper focuses on the psychological realism requirement which should be met by any ethical theory. Even if one should not make normative conclusions out of descriptive presumptions, there are still some limitations resulting from our nature about which one should remember when formulating moral ideals. One should not impose moral ideals which may require of people more than they would ever be able to bear. The paper’s aim is to emphasize how important it is to ethics to pay attention to the empirical research carried out within psychology which show that a large part of our thought and volitional processes is automatic or semi-automatic. This means that ethicists cannot exclusively concentrate on regulating reflective processes which underlie consciously made decisions. If ethics is to avoid marginalization, ethicists must also focus on those automatic processes which control human thinking and action, especially in the circumstances of a total “ego-depletion”, e.g. when we are tired, hungry, or under a strong influence of unstable emotions. The paper shows that virtue ethics is this kind of ethical approach which meets the psychological realism condition most successfully.
