This article proposes to consider Olga Tokarczuk’s short story Profesor Andrews w Warszawie [Professor Andrews Goes to Warsaw] from the volume Gra na wielu bębenkach [Playing on Many Drums] as a tale of a journey to what could be called the starting point of the culture of moderation. It is a record of a process where the protagonist gets lost in a foreign city (and language) and is forced to limit the needs that make up the classic pyramid developed by the American psychologist Abraham Maslow, with his physiological needs taking over and emerging as the involuntary ultimate goal of his journey. In the context of the culture of moderation, Professor Andrews arises as a peculiar example of an individual who applies reduction strategies and eventually arrives at the conclusion that if something does not condition the existence as such it is essentially redundant. While not devoid of a Cathartic element, the drama presents a character stripped off of all attributes of his previous status, juxtaposing them with the deficit of consumer goods in Poland during the martial law as a still valid perspective for questions about possession and (well-)being. Although the current slogans calling for a reduction of human needs tend to focus on nature, which finds it increasingly more difficult to endure our consumerist debauchery, the direction set by the culture of moderation remains unchanged.

The article analyzes, present in the Christian tradition from St. Augustine, category ordo caritatis. Presents it from a historical perspective and makes an attempt to show that it is current, as well as shows the possibility of referring it to problems of migration in the contemporary world. The article emphasizes that category ordo caritatis was invoked whenever it was necessary to answer the question: how and who we should help in a situation when we cannot help them all? The author argues that the category ordo caritatis is still current (in a spirit of the conciliar reform) and can be related to contemporary problems of migration. This category prevents from being driven in the process of helping by only emotions, recalls the need for rational actions and the need for logic and order.

Artykuł analizuje, obecną w tradycji chrześcijańskiej od św. Augustyna, kategorię ordo caritatis. Przedstawia ją z perspektywy historycznej i podejmuje próbę wykazania jej aktualności, a także możliwości odniesienia jej do współczesnych problemów migracyjnych. W artykule zauważa się bowiem, że kategorię ordo caritatis przywoływało się zawsze wtedy, gdy trzeba było znaleźć odpowiedź na pytanie: Jak i komu pomóc w sytuacji, kiedy nie można pomóc wszystkim? Autor przekonuje, że kategoria ordo caritatis jest stale aktualna (także w duchu soborowej odnowy) i może być odnoszona do współczesnych problemów migracyjnych. Kategoria ta zabezpiecza przed kierowaniem się w procesie pomagania jedynie emocjami i przypomina o konieczności racjonalności działań i konieczności zachowania w nich logiki oraz porządku.
