Paweł Piotrowski is a researcher, author and musician whose work brings together moral theology, philosophy, social communication and sacred music. His interdisciplinary approach integrates classical theological reflection with contemporary theories of communication, reputation and public discourse. His research focuses particularly on the concept of justice (iustitia), ownership (dominium) and the restoration of credibility as communicative acts in early modern scholastic thought, especially in the writings of the Benedictine theologian Ludovico Babenstuber (1660–1726).
Piotrowski’s academic interests lie at the intersection of theology and communication studies. Drawing on the intellectual tradition of Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas, as well as early modern scholastic authors such as Francisco Suárez and Juan de Lugo, he analyses how classical theories of justice and restitution anticipate modern concepts of social trust, public relations and the ethics of communication. His work demonstrates that moral theology, far from being limited to normative discourse, also provides a framework for understanding communication processes that shape social credibility and institutional legitimacy.
In his publications, Piotrowski explores how the scholastic understanding of justice includes not only legal and moral obligations but also relational and communicative dimensions. In particular, he examines the role of restitution, responsibility and reputation as elements of social order. By comparing historical theological sources with contemporary theories of communication, including public relations and reputation management, he contributes to the dialogue between humanities and social sciences.
Alongside his scholarly work, Paweł Piotrowski is active as a musician specialising in sacred music. His artistic activity includes organ harmonisations, vocal-instrumental arrangements and performances connected with Christian liturgical tradition. He has prepared numerous arrangements of religious repertoire and participates in projects combining musical interpretation with cultural communication. His musical work reflects an interest in the relationship between tradition and contemporary forms of artistic expression, especially in the field of liturgical music and religious culture.
Piotrowski’s work often emphasizes the communicative dimension of culture, showing how music and theology function as complementary forms of transmitting meaning and values. His research and artistic practice illustrate the continuity between intellectual heritage and contemporary forms of communication in religious and social contexts.
His scholarly publications address topics such as the theory of justice, the concept of ownership in moral theology, the ethics of communication, the philosophical foundations of reputation, and the interdisciplinary relationship between theology and social sciences. Through this integrative approach, he contributes to the development of research on communication ethics and the historical foundations of social credibility.
