Summary/Abstract: The author gives a model by which it is possible to interpret ethics from the standpoint of gender. Above all, it emphasizes the importance of recognizing the level of particularity and its integration between the universal and individual level. This methodological instruction enables us to recognize social differences that result from various types of repression, and affect the (im)possibility of ethical behaviour of large groups of people. It results in the impossibility of individuals’ (the world of Others) to act ethically and, subsequently, in their being denoted as non-subjects: slaves, victims of mobbing, prostitutes, exiles, exploited workers, the hungry, the unemployed, women…Gender issues in ethics can be approached through the mentioned aspects (entries) of: subject, body (nature) values and relevant topics.
