Myśl etyczno-aksjologiczna w medycynie na przykładzie poglądów Antoniego Kępińskiego

Abstract

The subject of the paper is the ethical - axiological idea of A. Kępiński, which is presented in the light of biological model as the one of basic points in his theoretical- -methodological standpoint. His biological approach was consisted in acceptance of biological category of life as the point of issue for ethical - axiological reflection. Basic, definitional features of life are, in work of Kępiński, the structural base for analysis of phenomena in the fields of axiology and ethics. They are followed by such problems like: criterion of good and bad, genesis of conscience, natural moral order, system of human values. The most significant proposal of A. Kępiński is the idea of axiological psychiatry based on assumption about natural morality.
