Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to identify possible foundations for constructing the ontology of moral goodness. Two traditions have been analyzed: “ethical understanding of the existence” in ontology and “ontologization of the goodness” in ethics. It has been shown that these traditions in their extreme forms are fraught with the danger that the moral content of goodness will extinguish. Therefore, the goodness ceases to act as a regulator of human relations. It has been proved that the ontology of moral goodness can be based on the principles of participatory existential presence and understanding of the existence as a compatibility. As a result, the laws of earthly existence appear as laws of morality.
