Prawo a wartości inne niż moralne. O poszukiwaniu tropów w pracach Józefa Nowackiego
Law and Values Other Than Moral Ones: On Searching for Tropes in Józef Nowacki’s Works

Summary/Abstract: In his article, the author asks the question to what extent considerations in the field of axiology regarding the relationship between law and morality can be useful for the development of the legal-philosophical trend known as legal aesthetics, where the subject of interest is, most generally, the relationship between law and beauty. The starting pointfor reflections is the issue of axiology in the context of the works left by Józef Nowacki,including, first of all, his article “Valuing in the science of law”. Thus, the subject of the articleis axiology, but in a sense that covers both ethics and aesthetics. The author distinguishesfour types of description used by legal science: normative description, empirical description,theoretical description and – distinguished by the author – axiological description, which canbe justified within the framework of axiological subjectivism. It involves evaluating values andeither adding or subtracting them, as well as valuing, that is, comparing and weighing values. The author considers what inspiration in this regard can be drawn from axiological inquiries in general, and Nowacki’s works in particular.
