His most important books are: \u201cProblem mo\u017cliwo\u015bci etyki jako empirycznie uprawomocnionej i og\u00f3lnie wa\u017cnej teorii moralno\u015bci\u201d [The Issue of the Possibility of Ethics as an Empirically Authorised and Generally Valid Theory of Morality<\/em>]; \u201cZarys etyki\u201d [The Outline of Ethics<\/em>]; \u201cEtyka niezale\u017cna\u201d [Independent Ethics<\/em>]; \u201cABC etyki\u201d [The ABC of Ethics<\/em>]; \u201cW drodze do etyki\u201d [On the Way to<\/em> Ethics<\/em>]; \u201cWolno\u015b\u0107 w prawdzie\u201d [Freedom in Truth<\/em>]; \u201cSolidarno\u015b\u0107 wyzwala\u201d [Solidarity Makes<\/em> You Free<\/em>]; \u201cUrodzi\u0142e\u015b si\u0119, by kocha\u0107\u201d [You Were Born to Love<\/em>]; \u201cWprowadzenie do etyki\u201d [Introduction to Ethics<\/em>]; \u201cRozum i wiara wobec pytania: kim jestem\u201d [Reason and Faith Facing the Question: Who Am I<\/em>]; \u201cGratias ago, ergo sum<\/em>.\u201d<\/em> Also, he was the editor of several books of Karol Wojty\u0142a \u2013 John Paul II, as well as works dedicated to the Pope\u2019s thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stycze\u0144\u2019s research focused on metaethics, the bases and selected aspects of personalistic ethics, the relation between philosophical anthropology and theological anthropology, ethical bases of politics, as well as ethical bases of politics and the philosophical and theological thought of Karol Wojty\u0142a. In metaethics he defends cognitivism which is based on experiencing the moral duty of respecting a person for what it is. In his opinion, ethics is a theory of the moral duty of action which is independent in its starting point. Contrary to eudaimonism and deontonomism, T. Stycze\u0144 believes that duty results from one\u2019s personal dignity, which is also experienced in oneself. He emphasizes the importance of truth about being and its value, which should be respected by a subject, and he postulates the legal protection of life of all society members, especially the weak ones, as a fundamental good on the basis of which the man may fulfil other goods and values.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
