Leszek Kołakowski’s few remarks upon death

Abstracts

EN

Death is the most obvious event in human life. On the other hand, however, this event is always a riddle and something unknown to a living man. Perhaps, this is the reason, why it has been studied by philosophers for centuries. This issue is taken up by Polish philosophers, including one of the best known and most appreciated, Leszek Kołakowski, as well. The problem is analyzed by him in two aspects – technological and mythological. This difference constitutes the main axis of Kołakowski’s philosophical thinking. In the technological context, death is one of the main symptoms of disinterest which the world shows the man. In the other meaning, it makes one inquire about the meaning of life as such and its being rooted in the dimensions of eternity. These very problems are analyzed in the present article.
