Most of the world's culture is soaked throught the therapeutic ethics of awakening, connected with the optimistic worldview that can take an extreme or moderate form. The analysis of the rational dispute between supporters of moderate positions – the followers of extremes turned out to be irrational – was made from the metaetic perspective, enabling the conception of the metaethical blockade of the subject, which hinders the move from therapeutic to palliative ethical positions and vice versa. Furthermore, the article reveals the dependence of the subject’s ethics on the subject’s worldview including metaphysical and eschatological solutions.
