Etyczno-moralne postawy wobec cierpienia, nieuleczalnej choroby i śmierci człowieka – w świetle ustaleń antropologii filozoficznej
Ethical-Moral Attitudes in the Face of Suffering, Incurable Illnesses and the Death of Human Beings – in the Light of the Findings of Philosophical Anthropology

Summary/Abstract: Despite the fact that there exists a substantial amount of scientific works dedicated to various aspects of illness, suffering, dying and death - all the research still appears to be incomplete. Very often they offer only one point of view, are very limited or not coherent. One can’t help but doubt, if it is possible at all to write a fully objective and „to the point”, short philosophical essay about the complicated „world of illness”, human suffering, dying and death.There also isn’t much research done in the ethical field, research which would bravely take on the moral analysis of complicated human stances or human reactions for deeply traumatic life situations.This essay is attempting to fill in that empty spot in the research department, an attempt - through asking questions about the human being and showing how fragile the life can be - to answer the question: how to understand a person, who is ill, suffers and dies? This work is also a camouflaged “hint” to help us, should we ever find ourselves put in such a situation.
