Summary/Abstract: Human freedom becomes possible only through the hierarchy of the various forces that influence on the decisions made by man. And the freedom correlates with goodness only through the certain, but accepted voluntarily, hierarchy of these forces. The modern philosophy, which overcomes critical postmodern worldview, based on the principle of hierarchy, but if since the ХVІІ century its upper level belongs to mind and transformative activity, after the postmodern criticism passive openness to another get on to the foreground. In some cases this openness becomes the top principle and in another it comes to be no less important than the principle of active attitude. Together they constitute main principles of the postmetaphysical subject.
