The Human in Action

Summary/Abstract: Milan Kangrga, for decades, as a philosopher, has been involved in questions of ethics and morality, but he has not written some kind ethics on his own, although he announced that he is writing a book with this title. The question is, however, could this ethics be written, if Kangrga keeps with his convictions, and how that ethics should look like? Since, namely, with his works testifying of a rare consequency of thought, it is hard to believe that in a book with a such title we could find anything other than a critique of moral consciousness, because, according to Kangrga, any kind of ethics after Kant can only be under his historical level. We cannot overcome that level theoretically, but only practically; only by revolution, i.e, creatively changing the world in which ethics is still necessary to human.
