O pewnym dwugłosie w szkole lwowsko-warszawskiej. Normatywność między etologią a etyką empiryczną
Two different viewpoints in the Lvov-Warsaw School. Normativity between ethology and empirical ethics

Summary/Abstract: This article critically discusses the ethological and ethical-empirical perspectives concerning the reflection on morality within the Lvov-Warsaw School. Focusing on Maria Ossowska’s research we highlight the tendency of ethological analysis to annihilate the specificity of moral normativity (moral imperativeness), as well as the ambiguity of Ossowska’s conclusions and her predilection for emotivism. Similarly, an examination of Tadeusz Czezowski’s views reveals a propension to argue for the scientific (empirical) status of axiological and deontic standards, which can be regarded as true or false statements. In conclusion, Maria Ossowska’s and Tadeusz Czezowski’s model of normativity is compared with the moral imperativeness available at the level of experimental moral philosophy.
