Many psychologists have tried to reveal the formation and processing of moral judgments by using a variety of empirical methods: behavioral data, tests of statistical significance, and brain imaging. Meanwhile, some scholars maintain that the new empirical findings of the ways we make moral judgments question the trustworthiness and authority of many intuitive ethical responses. The aim of this special issue is to encourage scholars to rethink how, if at all, it is possible to draw any normative conclusions by discovering the psychological processes underlying moral judgments.

This paper discusses “impartiality thought experiments”, i.e., thought experiments that attempt to generate intuitions which are unaffected by personal characteristics such as age, gender or race. We focus on the most prominent impartiality thought experiment, the Veil of Ignorance (VOI), and show that both in its original Rawlsian version and in a more generic version, empirical investigations can be normatively relevant in two ways: First, on the assumption that the VOI is effective and robust, if subjects dominantly favor a certain normative judgment behind the VOI this provides evidence in favor of that judgment; if, on the other hand, they do not dominantly favor a judgment this reduces our justification for it. Second, empirical investigations can also contribute to assessing the effectiveness and robustness of the VOI in the first place, thereby supporting or undermining its applications across the board.

This article critically discusses the ethological and ethical-empirical perspectives concerning the reflection on morality within the Lvov-Warsaw School. Focusing on Maria Ossowska’s research we highlight the tendency of ethological analysis to annihilate the specificity of moral normativity (moral imperativeness), as well as the ambiguity of Ossowska’s conclusions and her predilection for emotivism. Similarly, an examination of Tadeusz Czezowski’s views reveals a propension to argue for the scientific (empirical) status of axiological and deontic standards, which can be regarded as true or false statements. In conclusion, Maria Ossowska’s and Tadeusz Czezowski’s model of normativity is compared with the moral imperativeness available at the level of experimental moral philosophy.

Artykuł krytycznie eksplikuje perspektywę etologiczną i etyczno-empiryczną refleksji nad moralnością, które pojawiają się w ramach szkoły lwowsko-warszawskiej. Poprzez odwołanie się do badań Marii Ossowskiej wyeksponowana zostaje skłonność analiz etologicznych do anihilacji specyfiki normatywności moralnej (imperatywności moralnej), jak również niejednoznaczność wniosków samej Marii Ossowskiej i jej predylekcja ku emotywizmowi. Eksploracja myśli Tadeusza Czeżowskiego natomiast odsłania naukowy (empiryczny) status norm aksjologicznych i deontycznych, które mogą być uznawane za zdania prawdziwe bądź fałszywe. Finalnie model normatywności Marii Ossowskiej i Tadeusza Czeżowskiego zostaje skonfrontowany z imperatywnością moralną dostępną na poziomie doświadczalnej 'datum morale'.
