    Leszek KolakowskiBOOKFreedom, Fame, Lying and Betrayal2019

    Polish philosopher Leszek Kolakowski is renowned worldwide for wrestling with serious philosophical conundrums with dazzling elegance.

    leszek kolakowski: Yes. Yes, I think so. I love the British, of course. But I don’t feel British. I’m not an Oxonian. Britain is an island. Oxford is an island in Britain. All Souls is an island in Oxford. And I am an island in All Souls. I’m a quadruple island. But I don’t complain. Only I don’t feel that I belong to it. In fact, when I go to Paris, I feel more at home than in London, even though I’ve never lived there for more than six months a…

  • On the practicability of liberalism

    Leszek KolakowskiARTICLECritical Review1993

    The radical liberal ideal of a completely neutral state is unattainable. A liberal society must educate its young, and this means engendering liberal principles in them. Fear of the law is not sufficient to sustain liberal society; conversely, if everything depends on fear of the law, the result will be the multiplication of laws in order to regulate everything, education having failed to impart self‐restraint. Nor is the desire for freedom so na…

    The Postrevolutionary Hangover Leszek Kolakowski (bio) The extraordinary events of the last two years in Central Europe have resulted in Himalayas of print, and it is hardly possible to add anything new or original. Nonetheless, I want to present a few thoughts concerning the postrevolutionary hangover in Central Europe. In fact, this hangover was unavoidable. There has never been a successful revolution (bloody or not) that has not produced mass…

  • Uncertainties of a Democratic Age

    Open AccessLeszek KolakowskiARTICLEJournal of democracy1990Cited by: 2

    Uncertainties of a Democratic Age Leszek Kolakowski (bio) Leaving aside the historical vicissitudes of the word democracy and all kinds of spurious and fraudulent usages of it ("socialist democracy," "people's democracy," "Islamic democracy"), we may say that this concept, as usually understood, includes three components. First, we think of a set of institutions aimed at assuring that the power and influence of political elites correspond to the …
