Abstract
The author of the article concentrated on the definition of the concept of good morals in law, which is considered to be very vague. He examined it from a philosophical point of view and tried to find its place in the system of rules, which regulate social life. As the object of interest the author chose several legal systems from continental law, in which he analysed the position of good morals. In the last part the article contains generalizations, conclusions and also suggests his own general legal definition of the term.
