Das Problem des Bosen in der Philosophie Józef Tischners
The Issue of Evil in Philosophy of Jozef Tischner

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents several understandings of evil distinguished by Józef Tischner, such as axiological evil, agathological evil and structural evil. While exposing the phenomenological approach of Tischner, Gadaczdiscusses evil as 'a phenomenon' that accompanies the very source form of experience which, according to Tischner, stands for the episode of meeting another man. In this perspective evil as a ghost proves to be the source experience as well, alike the episode of meeting being the source of the happenning of the good and freedom. Therefore, the original experience does not inform us whether something exists or it should be such and so, but rather tells us that there is something which ought not to be.
