INTRODUCTION TO VERBAL ETHICS - ANDRZEJ JARCZEWSKI

Andrzej Jarczewski's book "Introduction to Verbal Ethics" is a fascinating journey into the depths of philosophical reflections on truth, goodness, and beauty. With extraordinary erudition and depth, the author analyzes the fundamental values of European culture, which have been tested by various ideologies and political systems for centuries. Published during the difficult time of the Russian-Ukrainian war, this publication becomes an important voice in the discussion about the ethical foundations of our civilization.

• In-depth analysis of the concepts of truth, goodness, and beauty
• Reference to European culture and its values
• Examination of the influence of narratives on the decision-making process
• Reflections on the consequences of decisions based on true information
• Extraction of the pre-decisional aspect of truth
• Interdisciplinary approach to ethical issues

The author focuses on the verbal definition of good, treating it as the central point of ethical considerations. In his work, Jarczewski extracts the pre-decisional aspect of truth to draw attention to its consequences. A decision based on true information differs from a decision motivated by a narrative. Truth becomes an attribute of information, not a sentence, and knowledge consists of information, not sentences. This innovative approach allows for a deeper understanding of cognitive processes and their impact on our moral choices.

It is worth emphasizing that this book, published in mid-March 2022, is the first Polish publication to record the beginning of the Russian-Ukrainian war. The author does not report on events, but examines the essence of the values most important to European culture and violated by Russia for centuries, regardless of the system prevailing there. This gives the book a special meaning in the context of current events.

The book "Introduction to Verbal Ethics" is a must-read for anyone who wants to delve into the secrets of ethics, understand the mechanisms of decision-making, and reflect on the condition of contemporary European culture. It is a position that will surely prompt reflection and allow us to look anew at the reality that surrounds us, especially in the context of current political and social events that are shaking the world. This extremely important publication will certainly contribute to deepening knowledge about ethics and its role in social life.
