Truth vs ordo amoris in the history of mankind and individual moral development
Tóth, Štefan ; Pavlík, Ján (advisor)
The goal of this study is to supply arguments for the existence of objective moral order. In my research, I consider ordo amoris theory, developed by Scheler, in which emotionally valued stances have an important role in discovering objective moral order. Philosophical elaboration of the ordo amoris theory follows historical excursion in which I build on ideological roots of the ordo amoris. Furthermore, I analyse basic terms of the theory with an emphasis on the term individual moral development. A Significant characteristic in the individual moral development is being freed from outer factors, which rule over man and lead to the creation of free individuality. In the second chapter, I elaborate on and specify an observation of emotions by using the examples of love, repentance, shame and sympathy. These emotions play an important role in individual moral development. In the third part of my work I demonstrate that the historical development of a society is subject to patterns that are similar to the development of the individual. A breach of the objective moral order ends up in decline.
