Myślenie na bezdrożu. O Ośmiu pochwałach Janusza Bohdziewicza
Reflections on a Wasteland. On Osiem pochwał by Janusz Bohdziewicz

Summary/Abstract: The intention of this article is to discuss Osiem pochwał, a collection of essays by Janusz Bohdziewicz. The author drew attention to three closely connected thematic ranges circulating within the collection: 1) philosophy inquiring into the sense of being-in-the-world and bringing to mind predominantly such thinkers as Martin Heidegger and Jean-Luc Nancy, 2) contemporary reflection on religion (Christianity), situated within post-secular thought, and 3) a theory of the media inspired by ideas conceived by Marshall McLuhan and undertaking the conception of a new, third communication course – electracy, proposed by Gregory L. Ulmer, the other two being orality and literacy. Bohdziewicz argues that contemporary technologies and electronic media alter the manner of thinking and proclaiming the Christian kerygma, but at the same time contribute to the establishment of a new being-online ethos.
