Etyka Immenuela Kanta versus etyka Maxa Schelera

Abstract

The article presents the principles on which the ethics of Kant and Scheler are built. Kant formulates declarative ethics, which is based on the ontology of reason. This level is unattainable formal and is the unattainable standard of our actions. On the other hand, Scheler formulates an ethics of values which can be realized by each of us. The paper examines two different ethical standpoints that can never be brought to each other.
