Summary/Abstract: That in the course of history, changes for the progress of humanity – norms and values are reconfirmed, is evidenced not only by the dynamics of the development of human consciousness and the evolution of society, but also the meaning, and above all, the actualization of the concepts of duty and responsibility. Therefore, in this paper we want to point out the link and connection between the concept of duty and the concept of responsibility within the meaning and significance of Kant’s ethics of duty and the ethics of responsibility of Abdulah Šarčević, as well as the peculiarities of the ethical-epistemic specificities of these moral-philosophical worldviews. Although Kant is characterized by moral monism within his deontic ethics, and Šarčević’s ethical pluralism is present within his concept of responsibility which stems from the principle of action, both of these humanist worldviews possess normativity that in some important segments coincide, and what is special about them common is the responsibility for the world. Although Kant’s philosophical thought in its entirety had a profound impact on the development of humanity, thereby changing the conceptual framework of various sciences and their achievements in the developmental and civilizational flows of the world of life, our task is to compare, justify and epistemically and ethically valorize the achievements these two concepts for an attempt at humanistic marking of their scope within the moral-ethical constitutive context and the possibility of delineating their philosophical-historical foundation.
