Abstract

In the article there is analyzed the relation between psychologism and the criticism of relativism in Kazimierz Twardowski’s philosophy. Psychologism supports subjectivism; the consequence o f both is relativism. That is why, having departed from psychologism, Twardowski made his criticism of relativism more coherent. In the first part there are presented Twardowski’s arguments against relativism in the theory of value and ethics. In the second part there are shown difficulties caused by psychologism. In the third part there are presented consequences of anti-psychologism.
