Scientific work

In his works Kopić creates an ontology and ethics of postmodernism . In Kopić's view, ethics does not only get its foundation via the detour of an ontology. Ethics and ontology have their foundation in the question of being, i. H. in the law of being. The law of the original ethics, which can only become norms from the law of being . For Mario Kopić, all world religions basically have a respectful relationship with the dead. The law of the dead, as the basic law of the living, which is laid down and decreed in the law of being, is the first law of human being. The second law is the law of the 'holiness of life' ( Kurt Hiller ) and the third is the law of the dignity of man. These laws of human existence as human beings, which are valid in all world religions and world cultures, form three basic values of humanity .
