Summary/Abstract: Issues related to engagement appear more and more often in the literature related to human resource management, as well as by people who deal with voluntary work and activity on various levels of social life, or in a broader sense - public life. Three forms of engagement: educational, professional and political, as defined by Tischner, show a broad spectrum of the problem, especially in terms of ethics. Engagement does not only concern the performance of assigned tasks, whether in connection with the assumed social or professional roles. Tischner’s thinking about all human action and activity focuses on the choice of values and building one’s own authentic or inauthentic identity, also with the use of such a tool as dialogue. The aim of the article is to present the most important thoughts of Józef Tischner on the subject of socio-political commitment in the ethical (axiological) aspect.
