Etyka ewolucji, ewolucja etyki. Czy drobne różnice w wizji ewolucji człowieka mogą skrywać przepaść w stanowiskach metaetycznych i metafizycznych?
Ethics of evolution, evolution of ethics. Whether slight differences in view on evolution of man can hide chasm in metaethical and metaphysical positions?

Summary/Abstract: “Evolutin and Ethics” is both a fundamental problem to consider for any philosopher who accept Darwin’s theory and title of two papers. First written by Thomas H. Huxley second by John Dewey. The former was philosophizing naturalist, creator of early curriculum for biology. Despite supporting theory of evolution he opposed deriving any ethical principles from evolution. The latter was a philosopher associated with pragmatism and theories of pedagogy. He was also a supporter of evolutionism. In his paper “Evolution and Ethics” he commented “Romanes lecture” delivered by Huxley. Pragmatist proposed different understanding of the process of evolution and (what this paper try to show) different Ethical position induced from understanding of mentioned process. Huxley’s sceptical view on evolutionary ethics can be founded not only on his understanding of this process. His scepticism can be interpreted as opposition to any form of naturalism in ethics.
