Abstract

The paper presents a pragmatic aspect associated with the knowledge of morality. The knowledge is seen as necessary precondition to the efforts related to the desire to stimulate the presence of morality in modern life. After the finding that continually weakens the confidence in morality, an attempt is made to identify some of the reasons. Dissatisfaction and criticism of today’s morality are presented at the same time as an indication of the great interest in this unique social phenomenon which cannot be neglected. It is pointed out that such an attitude to morality is always seen in periods of radical and rapid social changes. A lot of questions are raised which express high expectations to morality, while challenging its capabilities as a regulator in our society at the same time. Answers are wanted in three directions: 1) the general cultural framework, in which morality exists, according to the theory of “cultural lag”; 2) some own characteristics of morality; 3) the relationship of morality and politics.
