Cień i sens
Shadow and Sense

Summary/Abstract: The book Blask ciemnieje. Lektury hermeneutyczne by Dariusz Czaja was written emotionally and does not pertain to nondescript themes. On the contrary, “the stakes are much higher” and the author deals with a world devoid of metaphysics and metaphysical experiences. In his collection he seeks a profound theological dimension in assorted culture texts. and while writing about others he actually writes also about himself. “Why theology? Because the first must be first” – this quotation comes from Miłosz, who suffered from similar obsessions as those affecting Diariusz Czaja, both being aware of the fact that religion is an experience on the borderline of that which can be grasped and expressed, and close to the paths of heresy, mysticism, and doubts. The death of God may sound like a paradox, but it is precisely faith - as we know after reading Kierkegaard and Shestov – that thrives on the paradox, which is its element.
