Summary/Abstract: The Catholic Church believes in the posthumous God’s judgment, heaven or hell. A man who is seeking God will sooner or later realize, that the question, about his existence is closely related to the question about the final destiny of man: death and what next? Leszek Kołakowski (1927−2009) repeatedly referred to the eschatological dimension of human existence, based mainly on the Christian tradition, which sees the purpose of the earthly pilgrimage of man in eternal bliss or eternal damnation. In his opinion, the man participates in the eternal struggle between God and the devil. It is not just a passive observer in it, but it is in the very centre of it, it is a victim of these struggles, although our fate also influences the course of this battle.
