IDO MOVEMENT FOR CULTURE

The attitude of the leading postmodernists to the ethical-moral problems resolves itself into two conclusions: 1. all unanimously question the universal normative ethics, 2. some of them – including Rorty and Bauman – perceive the need of morality but without the subsidiaries of durable norms of ethics. Richard Rorty questions Kant's ethics of moral obligations and Christian ethics of the love of one's neighbour based on the category of conscience related to the idea of natural law. He distinguished ethics private and ethics of public life. Private ethics is the expression of personal emotions, convictions, intentions in the process of our own personality. The ethics of public life results from the experienced feeling of solidarity. Tygmunt Bauman rejected the ethics normative, ethics of marxism, ethos of liberalism and ethics of consequentionalism, but accepted the nedd of morality in the human life. His "ethics postmodern" joins fairly different motifs: the ethical emotlvism (the sphere of emotions is substantial in the genesis of the moral experience), Kantism (affirmation of existence of "moral sen¬sitivity") and the phenomenology of Lévinas (the idea of our responsibility for the other man). There arises a doubt: is authentic morality without any principles possible? Emotivism, extreme individualism and ethical situationism, accepted by Bauman, are in reality the axiologloal relativism.
