Keywords: Leszek Kołakowski; Political Philosophy; Polish Philosophy; Totalitarianism
Summary/Abstract: Proceeding from a metaphorical (figurative) account of the problem of evil, and based on Leszek Kołakowski’s selected thoughts, this paper’s considerations aim to deliberate on “evil in politics” in the spirit of the shortcomings and excesses of freedom: namely, the lure of autocratic and totalitarian power. At issue is how the bounds of freedom are anthropologically and politically transgressed at the expense (to the point of abolishing) the freedom of others.
