W artykule próbuję dowieść, że autor wykładów zamieszczonych w "Liberalizmie politycznym" i późniejszych pracach mówił o niezależności prawdy światopoglądowej i polityki, zarazem dopuszczał obecność niesprzecznych prawd faktycznych w polityce. Jego refleksje nad problemem prawdy w sferze władzy politycznej ściśle wiążą się z rozmyślaniami nad rozumem i to nie tylko publicznym. Zatem celem artykułu jest prezentacja i analiza Rawlsowskiego rozumienia rozumu oraz miejsca i funkcji prawdy w polityce.

In this article I try to prove that John Rawls, in his lectures published in Political Liberalism and later works, recommended the independence of one’s world-view and politics, and that at the same time he allowed the existence of non-conflicting factual truths in politics. His reflections on the problem of truth in the political realm are closely related to his reflections on reason, not only the public one. Thus, the aim of this article is to present and analyze Rawls’ understanding of reason and the place and function of truth in politics.
This article is based on the research that places the discussion between political philosophy and history of thought. Author involves the following issues: the genesis, essence, and characteristics of social policy; its ultimate justification or lack thereof; the relationship between the political power and citizens, between the civil society and the state; the genesis, nature and duties of political authorities; the definition of the law, its foundations and limitations; the relations taking place between politics and religion; and, finally, what is the highest political value: liberty, equality or truth. Author examines the problem of the relations between the official Catholic teaching and theory of liberal democracy. Shows the teachings of many Popes, from Leo XIII to John Paul II. From the liberal focus on the political liberalism of John Rawls. He tries to provide an answers for following questions: Is Catholicism has its own vision of democracy or liberal democracy proposes to improve? Has the social thinking of the Church evolved in its assessment?
This paper constitutes an attempt at analysing the phenomenon of post-truth from the perspective of the political thought of Hannah Arendt. It discusses the hypothesis: the problem of post-truth in politics had been described by Arendt before the term “post-truth” appeared. The applied methodology consists of the analysis of source texts inspired by hermeneutics, history of ideas and Arendtian narrative on politics.
