About God in the writings of Leszek Kołakowski

Abstract

Man is constantly confronted with the question about God and has the knowledge that what is absolute is not fully linguistically available. In this perspective, speaking about God is always a struggle with the question about the meaning of our humanity, about the meaning of faith and unbelief, the sense of life in the earthly and eternal dimension. Once, God was the guarantor of order and harmony in terms of values, social relations, rules of thinking and the physical world. Today, this understanding of order has been disturbed, and all attempts to scientifically approach absolute reality always fail. L. Kołakowski is an agnostic, but also an apologist from the outside in relation to Christianity, and therefore someone who has reasons for and against absolute reality.
