- Abstract
- Rethinking a situation discussed in Kant's essay "On a Supposed Right to Lie from Altruistic Motives" the author interprets it as a situation of a choice between abstract duty "do not lie" and particular commitment to rescue a particular person (a friend), even by the price of lying to another one (a wrongdoer). Critical consideration of this situation leads the author to an analysis of the nature of absolutist and non-absolutist approaches in understanding moral imperatives and philosophical premises of Kant's absolutization of the rule "do not lie!", concluded by a normative statement on admissibility of lying as the last resort in opposition to actual evil.
