Work
[edit]Ślipko's ethics took its inspiration from the Thomistic traditions. He also took into consideration new currents of philosophical and ethical thought, especially the personalistic and axiological tendencies. According to Ślipko himself, his ethics is “an axiomatic version of the Christian ethics”.[citation needed]
