Axiology and ethics of truth in the thought of Bogusław Wolniewicz

This article provides an in-depth analysis of Bogusław Wolniewicz's philosophical work, focusing on his unique approach to axiology as a science of value structure. The author explores the distinction between formal and substantive axiology, highlighting the logic governing moral systems. A key element of this discussion is the concept of a civilizational normotype, based on Christian heritage, and an analysis of the ethics of truth in the face of contemporary challenges. The text confronts the classical understanding of truth as an objective attribute of humanity with contemporary tendencies that prioritize subjective dignity over facts. The discussion also encompasses ethically abnormal situations, such as the "noble lie," and the role of logos in defining the human condition. This is essential reading for those seeking to understand the foundations of the Western moral order and the ethical dilemmas of today.
