Sažetak
This paper considers the ranges, consequences and moral justification of the »ruthless critique of all that exists« that is »not being afraid of the results it arrives at«, nor is it afraid »of conflict with the powers that be«. These well-known Marx's words from his letter to Ruge of September 1843 serve as a starting point for this discussion. This paper primarily aims to reach the basic intentions and the sense of active critique. Bearing in mind the deviations of concrete historical revolutions that were referring to critical emancipatory teachings, the discussion goes in the direction of ethical consideration, where the very concept of (active) critique is more clearly explained by gaining the designation of responsible critique as the true fulfilment of its internal movements. Finally, this paper points out the essential connection between the problems of traditional ethics and revolution and those of integrative bioethics, especially in terms of widening the horizons of moral concern.
