Esoteric Morality versus Catholic Ethics

Przemysław Paszek

Abstract

The theory of esoteric morality developed on the basis of utilitarian ethics tries to realize a postulate that ethics should have, above all, practical application. The aim of the article is an attempt to answer the question whether this theory may become a common ethical position of two distant views on morality - utilitarianism and personalism, and whether the attempts to justify esoteric morality with arguments that are closer to the Catholic ethics are correct. The article engages in a polemic with examples of such apparent consensus, and also indicates the position of the Catholic ethics towards the esoteric morality.
