Insufficiency of “two ethics” is criticized using three-fold argumentation: a philosophical, a psychological and a pedagogical one. Instead of “two ethics”, a perspective of the “first person”, “third person” and “second person” is suggested, which enables the author to highlight a dialogical model of the “second-person ethics” against themonological models of the first two types. At the same time, necessity of the transcendental dimension for conceiving morality based on respect to the Other in the midst of a community is justified. The thought-line followed by the author in the submitted study is based mainly on the field of ethics, however, it continually refers to psychological and pedagogical aspects of the researched topic. A conclusion is reached that not the binary approach, but the integral approach to man and their education enables maintaining respect to transcendence and vice versa, openness to transcendence secures conditions for a holistic formation of man.
