Professional ethics – one of the central issues which fringes upon the widely understood humanities as well as engineering and technical sciences – within the framework of philosophical and social sciences constitutes the topic which is discussed reluctantly and it is even marginalized. This results first of all from the dispute concerning ethics itself, which has been carried out for the recent decades and from the fact of the dynamic and explosive development of technology which is unprecedented in the general history. This development led to the establishment of new categories of science and new professions. A methodological postulate of including in the research and professional work a trans-disciplinary paradigm and a comparative studies paradigm with reference to particular professional ethics appears to be an alternative and an opportunity to break this specific deadlock at the same time. Moreover, this orientation makes it possible to emphasise a practical aspect, i.e. a professional reality in a specific field of modern science. The above mentioned diagnosis shows the most significant issues in the analysis of professional ethics on the example of architecture and modern architect’s work which is focused on the major principle of professional ethics and professionalism, namely on responsibility.
