Filozof czyta teksty kultury, albo dlaczego zapominamy o Kołakowskim

Journal Title: Zagadnienia Rodzajów Literackich - Year 2016, Vol 59, Issue 4

Abstract

The main goal of the article is approaching the peculiar character of Leszek Kołakowski’s textual activities. Polish philosopher used the most important textes of European culture (especially the Bible) to create his own works — renarration of myth was a vehicle to understanding contemporary problems. His compositions were also connected with oral tradition and philosophy of dialogue. Those choices had also genological effects — in Kołakowski’s litterary and popularizing output prevailed lectures, tales, sermons, parables and allegories.
