How Should We Interpret Institutional Duty-Claims?
2013
It is rather natural to suppose that what we mean when we say that an institutional organization has a moral duty is parallel to whatever it is that we mean when we say that an individual has a duty. I challenge this interpretation on the grounds that it assumes that institutional organizations possess those characteristics or abilities requisite for moral agency—an assumption which I argue is highly suspicious. Against such an interpretation, I argue that we have very good reasons to suppose that the term ‘has a duty’ is used equivocally across individual and institutional contexts. In other words, the meaning of an institutional duty-claim is quite different than that of an individual dut…
The framing of moral foundations alters perceptions of ethical business practices
2015
Pressure to be both ethical and profitable can create conflicts. Morality is multi-faceted, and ethical perceptions of a company that chooses shareholder profits over avoiding community harm may depend on one’s endorsement of different moral foundations. Participants responded to different ethical dilemmas where companies chose shareholder profit over avoiding community harm. Across all studies, moral foundations influenced ethical perceptions. Study 1 found that endorsement of the moral foundation of harm avoidance was associated with decreased ethical perceptions of a company choosing shareholder profits over avoiding community harm, whereas loyalty endorsement was associated with the opp…
Erradicando la xenofobia y la aporofobia desde la compasión ética como capacidad clave de la neuroeducación moral
2021
Drawing on the contributions of some of the most recent and relevant studies on neuroethics and moral neuroeducation, this paper undertakes an analysis of compassion. In order to focus on the results of this neuroscientific research a reductionist naturalist framework is set aside in order to embrace the broader outlook of a moral neuroeducation that, firstly, refuses to reduce its normative character to the human capacity for evolutionary adaptation; and, secondly, seeks to locate within the brain the neuronal foundations for the development of a capacity for compassion towards those of one’s own community, and also those from outside it. Thereby, this capacity for compassion moves beyond …
Probleme polnischer Moraltheologen mit dem nachsynodalen apostolischen Schreiben von Papst Franziskus Amoris laetitia
2020
Amoris laetitia, the post-synodal Exhortation of Pope Francis, provoked varied reactions among theologians. Especially controversial is the question of the admission of divorced people living in civil partnership to the sacraments of penance and reconciliation and the Eucharist. The present text presents the main arguments of Polish moral theologians, which came to the fore during the discussion on the practice of sacrament for divorced and remarried people. The Polish theologians’ arguments cited are not limited to simply quoting the teachings of Pope John Paul II, but refer to important arguments from the theology of marriage, theology of sacraments and moral theology. The author indicate…
Ethica cordis
2007
La ética del discurso es un óptimo fundamento para la ética cívica de una sociedad moralmente pluralista, pero siempre que no se contente con su dimensión procedimental, sino que saque a la luz su dimensión cordial. Sólo que entonces pasa de ser ética del discurso a ethica cordis. El presente trabajo intenta dar ese paso, y con ese fin cubre tres etapas: 1) en qué medida son necesarios los vínculos, 2) en qué consiste el vínculo discursivo, 3) cómo el vínculo comunicativo incluye el discursivo y va más allá, dando lugar a una ética de la razón cordial. Discourse ethics is the best foundation for the civil ethics of a morally pluralist society, but only on condition that it does not remain m…

Likeness to the Divinity? Virtues and Charismatic Leadership
2012
Classical virtue theory provides a fruitful framework for understanding charismatic leadership. The article outlines the theory of virtues and demonstrates the contribution of virtues to the personality traits and behaviours that are associated with charisma. The virtue of magnanimity of high-mindedness is shown to play a special role. The virtue-based perspective to charismatic leadership clarifies disagreements concerning the definition and delineation of the concept of charisma. It also provides a novel framework for analyzing and criticizing charismatic leadership trainingt programs. Finally, the article demonstrates that the dark side of charisma is a deformation caused by the absence …
