ODWRÓCONE SPEKTRUM AKSJOLOGICZNE, DOBRO PO PROSTU I PODSTAWY MORALNOŚCI
INVERTED AXIOLOGICAL SPECTRUM, SIMPLY GOOD, AND THE FOUNDATIONS OF MORALITY

Summary/Abstract: The article consists of three parts. In the first part, the possibility is taken into account that people, and perhaps also all other finite epistemic subjects that have the ability to formulate moral judgments, are subject to the universal illusion regarding the hierarchy of moral values by which they act, so that they have reversed axiological spectrum. In the second part, the thesis is justified that the only means to exclude the possibility of being subjected to a radical axiological illusion by finite epistemic subjects is to refer to the metaphysical concept of God understood as the concept of the most perfect being and to His knowledge about what is good and what is bad. The question of the existence of God and the indication of how the concept of God should be religiously concretized are not discussed. To carry out the argument presented in the article, it is enough that God is understood as a person with the attribute of omniscience and perfect goodness. The third part is devoted to remarks on moral relativism, moral dilemmas and the problem of the essence of moral good.
