The historiosophical views of Leszek Kolakowski I qualify as cultural catastrophism (in the absence of an alternative). Progress in the sphere of civilization, technical and scientific companions – in his opinion – is a serious spiritual crisis, a crisis in culture. The main reason for this crisis is moving away from Christianity, and especially from the teachings of Jesus (loss of consciousness of the imminent end of the world and moving away from the ”ethics of love” for utilitarian calculation). I distinguish three problem areas, and at the same time three dangerous tendencies – associated with the weakening of Christianity – which may lead to a serious crisis, and even the destruction of Western civilization: the disappearance of the moral subject; increasing the spiral of needs and greed; the occurrence of severe – often secular – religion substitutes that turn into “tyrannical idols”. Awareness of the risks may, however, lead to healing (hence alternativity catastrophism); the best remedy is – according to Kolakowski – revitalization of Christianity in a variation of universalist and tolerant.

Honor is one of the values permanently inscribed in the traditional ethos of the Polish culture. In the past centuries, it was a feature distinguishing only one social class – the nobility. However, as a result of cultural changes, the concept of honor was democratized, thus entering the universal system of values, shaping the entire social structure. The above notwithstanding, the understanding of this concept had not become homogenized in the process. Even today, one can still observe the concurrence of different styles of thinking about honor, manifest in a variety of coexisting patterns of honorable behavior and particular attitudes to honor, whose respective uniqueness depends on socio-cultural contexts. It is, therefore, possible to speak of the honor of peasants or Highlanders, or of the honor of an oppositionist or an intellectual, and it stands to reason that in each case the sense of the concept will prove to be slightly different. In this text, the author presents the results of an analysis of the ways in which honor is understood by Józef Tischner and Leszek Kołakowski – two Polish thinkers who played important roles in the intellectual life of Poland in the second half of the twentieth century. These considerations are further complemented by a reflection on one of the leading activists of the democratic opposition in the final years of the Polish People’s Republic, an influential writer, journalist, editor, author of Z dziejów honoru w Polsce. Wypisy więzienne [From the History of Honor in Poland. Prison Notes] and numerous other books – Adam Michnik. An insight into his views on honor, and the reflection on the stance he adopted, combined with the analysis of Tischner’s position, allows the author to reconstruct Leszek Kołakowski’s ideal of honor, whose currency transgresses time.

Honor jest jedną z wartości trwale wpisanych w tradycyjny ethos polskiej kultury. W dawnych wiekach był wyróżnikiem jednej tylko warstwy społecznej – szlachty, lecz w wyniku przemian kulturowych pojęcie honoru uległo demokratyzacji i zagościło w uniwersalnym systemie wartości obejmującym całą strukturę społeczną. Rozumienie tego pojęcia nie uległo jednak homogenizacji. Można zatem dostrzec różne style myślenia o honorze i różne wzorce postaw człowieka honorowego w zależności od kontekstu społeczno-kulturowego. Są przesłanki, by mówić między innymi – każdorazowo w nieco innym znaczeniu tego słowa – o honorze chłopskim, góralskim, inteligenckim, o honorze opozycjonisty czy intelektualisty. W przedstawionym tekście autor prezentuje wyniki analizy sposobów rozumienia honoru u dwóch polskich myślicieli, którzy odegrali ważną rolę w polskim życiu intelektualnym drugiej połowy XX wieku – Józefa Tischnera i Leszka Kołakowskiego. Uzupełnieniem rozważań jest ukazanie postawy i poglądów Adama Michnika, jednego z czołowych działaczy opozycji demokratycznej ostatnich lat PRL oraz wpływowego pisarza, publicysty i redaktora, autora między innymi książki Z dziejów honoru w Polsce. Wgląd w jego refleksję na temat honoru połączony z analizą stanowiska Tischnera pozwala autorowi podjąć próbę rekonstrukcji ideału honoru u Kołakowskiego – ideału, którego ważność jest ponadczasowa.

The article is an attempt at philosophical reflection on the possibility of rational justification of religion and its place in today’s world by recreating Leszek Kołakowski’s intellectual path to the Absolute as a guarantor of the value and its apology of Christianity in this context. Following the movement of thoughts in works from Religious consciousness and The Church Bond through The Presence of Myth to Main Currents of Marxism, the author shows how Kołakowski came to the position that faith is an inalienable element of the human condition; we cannot believe it at all, only the objects of our faith can be different. Analyzing Kołakowski’s texts, taking into account their chronology, it can be seen that from the perspective of Marxism he tried to capture the essence of religion, while studying religion allowed him to see the features of religious thinking in Marxism. As a consequence, he noticed that faith, next to reason, is an indelible way of our knowledge, and the myth can be removed only by replacing it with another myth. The climax of this thinking seems to be Horror Metaphysicus – according to his own declaration – the opus magnum of Kołakowski. The author argues that the entire apology of Christianity, which dominates in the late philosophical activity of Kołakowski, should be understood in this context. The paper also shows why we should defend Christianity – even if, according to the author of The Presence of Myth, is one of the myths – as the best combination the individual and social dimension of our existence.

Although English intellectual life frequently operates according to a story that stresses openness to ideals and thinkers from abroad, it is also the case that not all arrivals are equally welcomed. That was the fate that befell Zygmunt Bauman when he took up the Chair of Sociology at the University of Leeds in 1971. His first publication after his arrival was the English language translation of Klasa-ruch-elita: Studium socjologiczne dziejo´w angieskiego ruchu robotniczego, which had been originally published in Poland in 1960. The book was subjected to a hostile review by E. P. Thompson, and this paper seeks to understand the stakes of the attack. It is contended that Thompson’s review, along with his Open Letter to Leszek Kołakowski, reflects quite how open English intellectual life can be. This essay consequently looks in two directions; it is a specific analysis of the early English reception of Bauman’s work and also more generally a study of the parameters of the English intellectual idiom.

The Nietzschean perspective was revealed with great power in the French thought of the second half of the 20th century. In my opinion, it also allows to grasp the basic dispute in which post-structuralism would be involved with the representatives of the Warsaw School of the History of Ideas if it entered such dispute. In its centre Nietzsche’s figure of Socrates could be placed and the function Nietzsche assigned to him while explaining the fall of tragedy. The thinkers departing from Marxism in the sixties and seventies of the twentieth century could choose “Socratic” path, one could think such was the destiny of the Warsaw School of the History of Ideas. Another possibility was created by the perspective of criticism of reason in the Nietzschean spirit, characteristic of French thinkers. The author wonders about the circumstances in which the choices were made.

The aim of my article is to analyze the concepts and phenomena of diagnosis and recognition, often considered to be semantically identical. While in psychiatric practice such an identity does not necessarily have adverse effects, in the anthropological and cultural domains identification of diagnosis and recognition may cause stigmatization, or other undesirable consequences. The article attempts to justify this thesis.

In the article the author describes theoretical reasons that stood behind Kołakowski's transition from being an orthodox Marxist to become an actual leader of the polish revisionist movement. His intention is to concentrate on those aspects of Kołakowski's thought that have not changed, apart from any biographical and psychological reasons. (1) First of those features is Kołakowski's inability of completability, the anti-code disposition. (2) The second trait is the moral attitude, an intention to influence on people's morality by convincing them that social and internal (necessarily bound with social) changes are desirable; that an existential calm demolishes morality. (3) Third feature concerns the fact that Kołakowski did not attempt to create his own philosophy, he was rather a historian of ideas, a skeptic, and a critic

W artykule zestawione zostają dwa pierwsze etapy twórczości Leszka Kołakowskiego: marksistowski oraz rewizjonistyczny. Wychodząc naprzeciw pracom, które dotychczas poruszały tę problematykę, autor skupia się na tych przekonaniach polskiego myśliciela, które pozostały niezmienne dla każdego z obu okresów, więcej nawet – które wydały się leżeć u podstaw porzucenia przezeń marksistowskiej dogmatyki. Są to kolejno: (1) systemowa niezakończoność filozofii, jej antykodeksowe nastawienie; (2) potrzeba zaangażowania, związana z pomysłem, że do podstawowych zadań filozofii należy wpływanie na postawy moralne oraz ich odpowiednie kształtowanie; (3) antytetyczność podejścia Kołakowskiego, znajdująca istotny wyraz w przyjmowaniu pozycji błazna, a także konsekwentne nastawienie na negację zastanych propozycji światopoglądowych (tak tradycyjnych jak współczesnych polskiemu myślicielowi).
