He does not, however, agree with this view, and rather holds to what Stanisław Matysik said on the subject. He maintained that the duty of saving life at sea is a result of"general human solidarity." The axiology of maritime law gives rise to many questions. Maritime legislation can draw on the achievements of general axiology and oflegal studies in general. The study ofmaritime law has not assembled a language of ethical or ethical-moral norms. The community of seafarers does not exist as a type of social entity. By the same token, there do not exist ethical or moral norms that could derive from it and be realised in maritime law. It is necessary to introduce conceptual and linguistic order into the area of maritime law. Ethics can create laws, but the implementation of everything that is an ethical norm cannot be the task of the maritime legal order.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={On the Axiology of Maritime Law and Its Connections with Sailors' Ethics}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/120700/PDF-MASTER/9_PM_XV_Godecki_O_aksjologii.pdf}, }
