metadata.value: The purpose of the article is to analyze B. Bolzano’s doctrine of the highest moral
  law. To achieve this goal, the following tasks are solved: the variants of justification
  of the supreme moral law proposed by Bolzano are investigated; the context in which
  Bolzano’s ethical views were formed is clarified; finally, the Bolzano’s doctrine is compared
  with Kant’s theory of the categorical imperative. The methods of rational reconstruction
  and historical-philosophical comparisons are used. The article consists
  of six sections. The first section talks about the role that the doctrine of the highest
  moral principle played in the philosophy of Bolzano. In the second section, two possible
  formulations of the supreme moral law are proposed and two variants of the
  justification of these formulations found in the works of Bolzano are examined —
  “subjective” and “objective” justification. The third section clarifies the context: it
  talks about the influence of Bohemian Josephism on the philosophy of Bolzano, two
  ethical teachings are considered separately: the practical ethics of K. H. Seibt and the
  moral theology of A. Zippe. The fourth section deals with Bolzano’s criticism of some
  aspects of the ethical teachings of the Enlightenment: Bolzano believed that hedonism
  could not be the cornerstone of the doctrine of morals, and he found the moral
  theologians’ conception of the status of practical truths incorrect. The fifth section
  gives the assessment that Bolzano gave to Kant’s ethics, and also analyzes separately
  the reasons why Bolzano criticized Kant’s formulations of the categorical imperative.
  Finally, the sixth section clarifies some of the theses of the ethical theory of Bolzano,
  and also shows that the Bolzanian version of utilitarianism is able to cope with some
  of the problems of Kantian ethics.
