Abstract

John Paul II reminded in the UNESCO headquarters in Paris on 2nd June 1980 that moral culture is the first and basic dimension of each authentic culture which is “the right shape of man’s life itself.” A young person should acquire the moral culture inter alia in the way of education i.e. instruction and upbringing. An ethical reflection on life and a person’s activity is an important element in this thesis. However, not every ethics (ethical model, ethical direction) favours the mentioned process. The suggested article presents the main ideas of the normative ethics in reference to the moral culture in the theological and philosophical thought of Karol Wojtyła – St. John Paul II.

Keywords:
