The presentation analyses and formulates a participatory and critical founding and methods of moral and political philosophy. The author of the presentation bases his conception on defining the three fundamental elements: critique, explanation, and normativity. He shows that this trichotomy expresses the basic dynamic of participatory moral and political philosophy which should proceed from (1) a critique of negative factors of societal reality via (2) an explanation of positive fragments to (3) the development of these fragments in a normative interpretation of society. The trichotomy is founded on three basic approaches of individuals to reality, or more precisely, to a difficult reality and overcoming it. The first approach is refusal (negation), the second by contrast is acceptance (affirmation) and the third is formation (creation). This set of steps is not meanwhile a one-off approach; it is a repeating action by means of which the individual steps are more and more closely specified.
