The foundation of Leszek Kołakowski’s ethical thought
Abstract
The article discusses primary matters of Leszek Kołakowski’s
ethical thought. For that purpose, the analysis focuses on the need
to justify the content of natural law. Kołakowski maintains that
the development of communication and growth of cities are foundations
of the justification process. In line with this idea the intuition
of evil (related with such terms like tabu, sacrum, profanum
or sin) is the major determinant for the distinction between good
and evil. Kołakowski’s theory also explores a connection between
the experience of evil and human dignity.
