Today - philosophy

Friday evening, and I ended up tidying the whole flat :) Well, at least I will spend the weekend without the feeling of guilt that I should clean here and there...
And now I am reading about Jung. Not for the first time, but again from a different perspective, so I can discover new things about his ideas.
I read online that one of the greatest Polish philosophers died today...
Leszek Kołakowski was 82 years old, he died today in the afternoon, in Oxford... I like his books a lot, I love his sense of humour and the simplicity with which he explains philosophical theories and ideas. He was one of the finest humanists and intellectuals of XXI century. What a terrible loss in the times where there is so few authorities...
I hope that, after stepping from one "timeness" into another (this is how he described death), he is happy and peaceful.

Leszek Kołakowski (1927-2009)


Interesting short interview with Leszek Kołakowski about religion here.
