God Owes Us Nothing: A Brief Remark on Pascal's Religion and on the Spirit of Jansenism
ISBN: 9780226450537 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "God Owes Us Nothing" reflects on the centuries-long debate in Christianity: how do we reconcile the existence of evil in the world with the goodness of an omnipotent God, and how does God's omnipotence relate to people's responsibility for their own salvation or damnation. Leszek Kolakowski approaches this paradox as both an exercise in theology and in revisionist Christian history based on philosophical analysis. Kolakowski's unorthodox interpretation of the history of modern Christianity provokes renewed discussion about the historical, intellectual, and cultural omnipotence of...

"Kolakowski undertakes a philosophy of culture which extends to all realms of human...

Metaphysical Horror
ISBN: 9780226450551 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 129 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. For over a century, philosophers have argued that philosophy is impossible or useless, or both. Although the basic notion dates back to the days of Socrates, there is still heated disagreement about the nature of truth, reality, knowledge, the good, and God. This may make little practical difference to our lives, but it leaves us with a feeling of radical uncertainty, a feeling described by Kolakowski as "metaphysical horror." "The horror is this," he says, "if nothing truly exists except the Absolute, the Absolute is nothing; if nothing truly exists except myself, I am nothing." The aim of...
