Szczęśliwy błąd
A Fortunate Mistake

Summary/Abstract: According to numerous philosophers, psychoanalysts and anthropologists, the conditions for the formation of individual and group identity include the addiction to the exteriorized evil. It is embodied by the baleful Other, one who causes fear and disgust. In addition, they include a penchant for symbolic violence and creation of the illusion of baleful otherness, a tendency which is permanently embedded in our language. The aim of the article is to answer the question if, when and how is the elimination of so understood hate speech from public discourse possible. In this perspective a study of literature as the betrayal of all permanent forms of identity may prove helpful.
