Summary/Abstract: Conrad answers Stein’s question — “How to be”? — ever anew. He repeats that moral normsare always valid, regardless of the circumstances or some greater necessity. Owing to that attitude,Conrad became a moral guide to young Poles during the war, occupation and the time of theCommunist regime. Also today, the Conradian ethos makes it possible to preserve “faithfulnessto something significantly moral and valuable.” Conrad regards the Mediterranean tradition to bethe source of European culture and civilisation and the foundation, without which nothing couldbe achieved either in the spiritual or the material sphere. It is this particular tradition that formedConrad’s views and allowed him, in turn, to form the views of the consecutive generations ofreaders (which he still continues to do).
