The paper concerns the inner split in Leszek Kolakowski's thought: between political participation and - usually so called - the first philosophy. The author focuses mainly on the reading of the third part of 'Main Currents of Marxism' and recognizes this part as a crown of the philosopher's reflection on the question of political participation in that time. He makes an objection to Kolakowski that while treating Marxism as a myth, i.e., a harmful falsity, he does not only hunt - like a man of Enlightenment - his previous client, defended in 'The Presence of Myth', but also reveals his own helplessness against mythical powers that he refers to.

During the last century, both work and the complex biography of Stanislaw Brzozowski stirred vehement controversy in Polish culture. Recently, though, the opinion spread that this writer's time had passed. According to the author of the following essay, the converse is true. Maybe it is exactly now when we are gaining an opportunity to liberate Brzozowski from the context of the local ideology, which diminished and distorted his stature.The proper perspective for viewing the discussed philosopher and artist is the European modernism. Thus reconsidered, Brzozowski appears as individuality akin to, say, Martin Heidegger and Georg Lukács, Hermann Broch, James Joyce or Robert Musil, Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, Arnold Schönberg, Alban Berg and Anton Webern. His creative life turns into the paradigmatic instance of the leading, artistic, philosophical and political dilemmas of the contemporary intellectual.
