Abstract

This new volume from the Polish Christian Philosophy in the 20th Century series focuses on Fr. Tadeusz Ślipko, S.J., born in Lvov, but for most of his academic life a professor in Krakow. His work spanned “general ethics,” concerned with the foundations of morality; “detailed ethics,” which includes both personal and social ethics; and bioethics, to which Ślipko was one of Poland’s earliest philosophical contributors. The volume under review contains two parts, the first serving as an introduction to Ślipko’s life and thought, written by several Polish scholars, and the second containing excerpts from Ślipko’s main works. Most Anglo-American philosophers will be unfamiliar with this work, which is edited by Ewa Podrez and translated by  Małgorzata  Wójcik for the first time.
