Summary/Abstract: The article examines how narcissism – understood not only as a psychological phenomenon but also as a cultural pattern – becomes a mechanism of moral blindness. The belief is presented that in the environment of digital self-presentation, social bubbles, and relativisation of truth, the categories of good and evil are transformed into aesthetic categories, which ultimately weakens a person’s ability to judge between good and evil, reduces the space for guilt, and blurs the imperative of responsible action. This study moves at the intersection of philosophy, ethics, theology, and social psychology, and highlights the need for a renaissance of metaphysics as a basis for the renewal of the categories of truth and goodness.
