In this article the authoress discusses the influence of Tadeusz Kotarbinski's work on the academic achievements of Maria Ossowska. Her analysis is based on the polemic between the two scholars. She begins by pointing out considerable differences between the two scholars. They have different views on both the subject of ethics and its methodological requirements, and on what moral standard of evaluation is. However, both academics have much in common. In particular, there is a significant agreement between their views on moral values and their shared belief that it is necessary to develop a 'moral backbone' or a stable hierarchy of values to which one should remain faithful whatever the circumstances. Other common aspects of the ethical views of Tadeusz Kotarbinski and Maria Ossowska include their attitudes to the ethics of struggle, their understanding of the idea of honour and its derivative relation to other values, their perceptions of conscience as a form of shame or contempt, and their views on the role and nature of virtues.

The important Slovak thinker, essayist, poet and physician Pavol Strauss (1912 – 1994) created the Christian line in the spectrum of Central European cultural development with his testimony of life and work. Within the literary context of the 20th century, it is possible to connect his work to generational comrades from Slovak Catholic modernism. The aim of the study is to analyse the values and virtues in the selected work of Paul Strauss. In Christianity, a system of virtues was gradually formed, which have their hierarchy in the spiritual life of a person. The four cardinal virtues (wisdom, fortitude, meekness, justice) are particularly important, with which many other human moral virtues are closely related. Several testimonies that Pavol Strauss was characterized by those virtues can be found on the website http://www.pavolstrauss.sk/, where Spolok priateľov MUDr. Pavla Straussa [Society of Friends of Dr. Pavol Strauss] has been trying to provide a broader scientific and popular education about his life and work. It usually publishes the magazine Listy Pavla Straussa [Letters of Pavol Strauss] once or twice a year, participates in the publication of the author’s work in various book re-editions, archives many sources, information and links to television documentaries and radio programmes dedicated to him. The given analysis of values and virtues in the selected work of Pavol Strauss thus brings an interpretive view of how they are reflected in the consciousness of the contemporary recipient.

In this article the author makes an attempt at presenting St. Augustine’s ethical thoughts. Because St. Augustine did not write exclusively ethical works and in the same works he wrote about ethics and metaphysics, philosophy and theology, these considerations are based on several different writings of his. However, one of them, Contra Academicos, is used as some kind of a milestone. In this article the author presents St. Augustine’s thoughts about happiness, truth and virtues. But most importantly she recognizes St. Augustine’s definition of virtue in connection with love.

The article analyzes Plutarch’s comments about women from several his works. The author of the article pays attention to fact that Plutarch not only thinks highly of a woman as a wife and a mother, but he awards to women the right to education and participation in virtues equally with men. The author doesn’t say that Plutarch is an advocate of the equality of women but she suggests that Plutarch stands out above his times. In the article the author makes an attempt to present that Plutarch’s thoughts about functions and virtues of women are based on his conception of human being and, in a broader sense, on Platonic metaphysics

The paper deals with one of the basic concepts of the classical ethical conception of French moral philosopher Vladimir Jankelevitch (1903 - 1985). Although tolerance is one of the so called little virtues', it is not less important; it has its own philosophy based on two presuppositions: 1) we have to abandon the knowledge of the thing in itself; 2) we have to conceive of every person as a purpose itself, 'an imperium within an imperium'. The symbiosis of body and mind, this 'living paradox', can serve as a model of how to resolve an irresolvable problem of tolerance. In the same way the 'paradox' of a community of people sharing common faith and forced by it to act together could be brought to existence (given their self-understanding and the understanding of the shared). And if convivial moments and moments of enthusiasms are affiliated, maybe one day they will start to love one another.

ARISTOTLE’S VIRTUE ETHICS AS AN INSPIRATION FOR CONTEMPORARY ETHICAL THOUGHT

Issues related to ethics and morality are constantly the subject of reflection and discussion at many levels of life of contemporary man. In the era of rapid technological development, which is far ahead of the development of ethics, it is extremely important to define its modern version. The issue is which tools to use and models to draw from. The theory of moral action itself is nothing new. On the contrary, it has a centuries-old tradition, dating back to ancient times. Today this tradition has become forgotten, considered inadequate for modern times. Meanwhile, by delving into ancient texts, one can find again in them a wealth of thoughts that are timeless and can serve for contemporary ethical considerations. It is, therefore, useful to refer to the sources of reflection on morality provided by ancient ethics, especially Aristotle’s texts. One of the key categories of Aristotelian ethics is virtue, i.e. excellence. Aristotle studies the good, how to live a happy life, how to achieve one’s ends, and how to be just. He formulates his ethics by analysing various virtues that a man can work on and develop and presents the conditions they must meet in order to be judged morally. It seems that a return to the classical concept of ethics and a new look at Aristotle’s virtue ethics may prove to be an inspiring proposal for contemporary ethical research.
