Abstract
The article analyzes the role of power in the process of constituting the ethical dimension of the personality. The reciprocal link between ethics and politics is revealed. It demonstrates the duality of power in the structure of the existential experience of the individual, capable to exist both in the form of fair moral domination over the individual desires and the resource of pastoral power over the others, as well as in the form of immoral, external suppression of the individual. The article concludes that ethical strategy, consciously chosen by a person, aimed at the opposition to the power, with the aim of changing it towards greater justice in the extreme, presupposes the risk of losing one's own life.
Keywords:
the anthropology of power, the duality of power, moral domination, ethics as a strategy of opposition to power, moral sacrifice, disobedience, pastoral power
