Abstract
Moral theology, as any science, has first of all cognitive aims. However, because of its subject one may also talk about the practical dimension of moral-theological reflection. This is because the subject is human action ( praxis ) that moral theology not only describes but also defines, indicating the moral norms that have to be kept to in it. Explaining and justifying the moral principles and norms moral theology is aiming at the plentitude a man should realize in his own life and work. Realizing this plentitude happens in an actual living situation. This is why applying principles and norms to particular attitudes and particular areas of human life is a significant, practical part of theologians-moralists' service. None of these areas is excluded from the range of the interests of moral theology. Analysis of these areas is the starting point for the reflection of a theological-ethical character, directed at forming attitudes.
