Abstract
How to Philosophize? The Paradoxes of Existence, Philosophy and Communication in Søren Kierkegaard’s and Leszek Kołakowski’s Works The main goal of the article is to answer the question formulated in the title: How to philosophize after Kierkegaard? The aim of the philosopher concerns the association of philosophy with existence (his own and others) in its empirical dynamics and the sensual shape must result from the recognition of the paradox of such efforts. The philosopher who perceives this problem may choose one of three options: 1) to build a philosophical system which will be a hypostasis of existence, 2) to give up philosophical writing and throw himself into existence – in this way he will evade the contradiction, 3) or to try to give an account of the paradox and make it a topic or an inherent formal feature of his discourse. Søren Kierkegaard and then Leszek Kołakowski chose the third way of expressing their thoughts. The article is an attempt at a comparison of the literary forms of philosophical writing and the poetics of paradox in their writings. Kołakowski’s style of philosophical thinking can be considered as a possible answer to the question: “How to philosophize after Kierkegaard?”. In conclusion, this article postulates philosophizing in a literary form, experimental and critical.
