The truant dilemma is an extremely interesting moral problem. Although it is merely a product of fantasy, it contains the core to which our reasoning applies. However, it must be reformulated in such a way that it relates to current reality and is consistent with the latest developments in science.
Such a proposal is presented above, taking into account both the latest achievements of theoretical sciences, including the humanities, and practical sciences, the sciences. In this way, the dilemma of the wagoner becomes a problem referring to current moral challenges and to present social relations.
