Summary/Abstract: I focused on the unconstrained but established in the theoryreflection on We/They dialectics, which was analysedfor its antagonistic foundation as being understood in thePolish context. However, I did not only concentrate onpresenting the socio-political perspective of this subjectas I have adopted a more contemplative, philosophicalapproach. Therefore political reality was only a pretextfor me to tell a reader about a much more fundamentalconflict concerning our values and freedom. I concludedthe consideration with stating the fact of the possibility ofexistence of agonistic diversity among democratic variety.
