Odrodzenie moralne społeczeństwa polskiego w refleksji socjologicznej Jana Szczepańskiego

In this study, Janusz Mariański first presents selected themes from the works of Jan Szczepański, the great representative of Polish sociological thought. These themes include: the moral condition of Polish society (the concept of man and society, the morality of public life, economy and work ethos, manifestations of moral evil, suffering) and moral revival as an idea and reality, with particular emphasis on the issues of individuality. On the basis of these findings, Mariański formulates some general conclusions regarding moral transformations in Polish society and a proposal for changes conducive to moral revival (moral reform, a revitalization of morality, moral education).
