Universalist Claims vs. Local Perspectives
Many scholars and university students whose first language is not English need to write in English to publish in international journals and to attend international conferences. Gatekeepers — editors and conference organizers — screen submissions for linguistic competence but also for adherence to certain internationally accepted norms, such as writing that is argument-driven rather than descriptive or data-driven.

Interview with Karol Modzelewski, 1991
This is an edited version of an interview conducted in 1991 and first published in New Politics 4, no. 2 (1993): 155–72. The editors of EEPS publish this version after the recent death of Karol Modzelewski, 1937–2019. In the 1991 interview, Modzelewski reflected on the difference between Solidarność 1980–1981 as a mass social movement and the very much changed Solidarność that in 1989 formed the first non-Communist government in the Soviet bloc. …
The German Democratic Republic

Apologies for Jedwabne and Modernity
The Roots of Counter-Reform
Counter-reform in Poland, a protest against new market and democratic institutions, is in some significant measure a conflict over social norms, not just a selfish craving for material security
Youth activism in the East European transformation
Poland's Unwanted Social Revolution
Toward a Rational Society
It would be unfortunate if the American Left judged this book by the first section that catches the eye: “What is to be done?” The three chapters on student protest which this section concludes are ambiguous in several important respects, but to be misled by them would be a disservice to all concerned. First, Habermas speaks in apparently liberal rhetoric about the healing powers of dialogue, particularly as they appear in that citadel of uncompe…
Swiadomsc Religijna i Wiez Koscielna
Leszek Kolakowski is fast becoming notorious for suggesting that contemporary philosophy has inherited its central problems from theological roots. Thus the questions that concern us today are essentially the same as those of our precursors, only couched in a different language. Kolakowski's intent in putting forth this notion is not to insist on the redundancy of the questions but to underscore the fundamental continuity that grounds their histo…
