In this article, the author discusses the moral and ontological conditions of authentic and sustainable reconciliation regarding persons and groups divided by some past wrong. He draws a distinction between genuine reconciliation and mere agreement about the parties' common future. Reconciliation has to contribute to the future but it is equally important that it is convincingly linked to the wrong that calls for reconciliation in the first place. Reconciliation should follow from the act of forgiveness. Disclosing the truth about the past evil is a prerequisite of forgiveness. This, however, creates a practical paradox. The deeper is the awareness of wrong the more authentic is the reconciliation. But the acute awareness of wrong makes reconciliation very hard to achieve. The challenge made by this paradox can be met, though. He discusses three conditions of morally satisfying reconciliation: (1) Reconciliation should be a result of forgiveness that is not given in a single act but in a continuous and determined effort to forgive. Forgiveness needs repetition as it is never complete. (2) Since forgiveness is a long term process and always at risk of moral inauthenticity and self-deception, reconciliation must be based on self-ironical consciousness; our actions are shadowed by a possible moral failure. (3) The value of possible reconciliation outweighs the probability of its being futile. Therefore the recommended self-irony must be counterbalanced by courageous determination to act against the moral odds in hope that it is exactly this action that increases the probability of morally satisfying reconciliation.

The author analyses the specific construction of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's prose, which he calls the 'internal text'. He assumes that it is an additional structure of signs placed into a literary text that breaks the text-reality tension (this is what makes it different from a common case of 'story within a story' and a quotation). Thus Dostoyevsky's writings transcends not only the borders of broadly understood realism, but also touches the relationship between literature and reality in total. At the same time, the author recalls the older, 'pre-Balzacian' type of novel, the sources of which are found in Cervantes's 'Don Quixote'. This model questions the narrator's credibility and obviousness of the world presented. Pietrzak proves that in Dostoyevsky's text, both the internal text and the world presented are in a dialectic tension and continuously shape one another.

In presented paper we are describing the philosophical and ethical question of Justice in the works of F. M. Dostoyevsky, specifically in the novel Demons. Justice as a phylogenetic heritage of man and mankind, which has been affected over the course of years in the process of ages by socio-political changes of subsequent civilisations, is earning a lot of different connotations and levels. The desire for justice is changing into passion the hunger after being fed up with wealth, fame, unquenchable thirst for power over man, society state. Sick ideas and passions are coming back to man, bringing loss of oneself and his consciousness. The appeal and prophecy of Dostoyevsky are becoming more and more urging: Don’t let sick passions, thirst for wealth and power, selfishness and egoism win. Justice is a continuous activity – communication with the strengths of Truth, Goodness and Beauty which are coded inside everyone and humanity as the meaning of life and its path.
