The Pathway to Freedom as a Drama. Around Tischner’s Concept of the Philosophy of Freedom

Abstract

Freedom constitutes one of the basic issues of ethical reflection of Józef Tischner. Tischner did not create a systemic philosophy of freedom, he did not construct an orderly way to freedom as a drama. As a result of deepening our knowledge of his works, the Philosophy of drama, in particular, we can reconstruct his views and read the message hidden within them. Perhaps it was intentionally intended by the philosopher of hope to induce recipients of his legacy to participate actively in this great, ongoing discourse on the subject of man and his world – the being testifying to his own humanity.
