Summary/Abstract: The pandemic of Covid-19 that brought to a stop not only the world’s economies but almost all areas of social life provided numerous moments for reflection and for noticing the widely propagated primacy of individual interest elevated above the common good. The article is aimed to answer the question how the “virus” of radical individualism influences moral attitudes among contemporary people. The method applied in this article is based on the analysis of data contained in selected current theological, sociological and psychological publications and on the synthesis of conclusions drawn from the analysis of these data in relation to the principles of moral theology.
