12 Theses for Understanding the Ethics of St. Clement of Ohrid

Abstract

Culture and its range depend on the ethics of the people who create it. The conclusion
is based on the experience in the creation of a culture in an area that gave the people
in part of Europe literacy and new ways of understanding the world. Such was the ethics
of St. Clement of Ohrid...
By giving us the letters, God commits us to doing good, and not evil. Realizing this,
St. Clement did not find it difficult to move a step forward towards the bare acceptance of
the ethical postulates by saying: It is not enough to simply run away from the evil, but one
should also do good! This led to the creation of a code of conduct that is:
- Ethics that offers knowledge;
- Knowledge of God within oneself, for oneself;
- Ethics of creating personal identity and recognizing and respecting the identities
of others;
The lack of such interdisciplinary thinking about this type of role of ethics in these
areas, as well as its consequences, represent open opportunities for a global clash of the cultures.
