Etyka bez metafizyki? Moralne implikacje myślenia postmetafizycznego
Ethics without Metaphysics? Moral Implications of Post-Metaphysical Thinking

Summary/Abstract: The main purpose of this article is to analyze the relationship between post-metaphysical thinking, nihilism and ethics. Nihilism denotes a broadly-conceived cultural phenomenon in which the idea of nothingness plays a crucial role. Different kinds of nihilism may thus be identified with a set of thoughts, beliefs and behaviours dominated by the concept of nothingness. Models of postmetaphysical ethics, developed by two Italian philosophers Gianni Vattimo and Emanuele Severino, are very important manifestations of a contemporary ethical thinking, which – in the face of radical challenges brought by the biotechnological revolution – representatives of very different philosophies, cultures and religions claim to be necessary.
