The article deals with the uniqueness and interconnectedness of human beings. It is argued that the Jewish philosophers Buber, Rosenzweig and Levinas as well as the Buddhist thinker Thich Nhat Hanh emphasize the relatedness of the subject. This is viewed as a welcome correction in a world of extreme individualism.

Artykuł dotyczy problemu wyjątkowości ludzi i ich wzajemnych powiązań. Żydowscy filozofie, tacy jak Bauber, Rosenzewig i Levinas, oraz buddyjski myśliciel Thich Nhat Hanh wyraźnie podkreślają znaczenie więzi między ludźmi. Postrzegamy to jako cenną korektę w świecie skrajnego indywidualizmu.
