The biggest irony of the 21st century may arise from the two conflicting theories of Samuel Huntington and Francis Fukuyama. Huntington’s ‘Clash of Civilizations’ may arise because of people who believe in Fukuyama’s ‘End of History’…

Once, when people told me that war is a natural consequence of peace and prosperity, I disagreed. I accused them of stating a truism, afterall if you have a history of war and peace, they couldn’t have occured at the same time, they had to be interweaved. If you take that as evidence for a natural tendency of peace to cause wars, you’re not really saying anything about the war’s real reasons…

Lately however, as I observe our

There have been times in my life when, whilst trying to argue the case for postmodern, liberal virtue of tolerance I was accused of having no ‘moral backbone’. My interlocutors believed that if I have no indissoluble, universal set of moral values, then I’m merely a moral relativist, merrily changing my stance as I see fit. Today, during an inspiring lecture on Bioethics I mentally returned to that discussion with a new set of arguments…

“What obligations the citizens of one country owe to citizens of another is a question that goes to the heart of what is involved in being a nation-state and in acting as a responsible human being. Is it morally legitimate for US citizens to pay taxes to provide fellow Americans with a minimum standard of health care under Medicaid, or a minimum standard of nutrition through food stamps, that is far above what the average Angolan receives—and not at the same time be willing to pay the costs of bringing Angola, and the rest of the world’s low-income countries, up to that standard? Most Americans will readily answer yes. But as philosophers like John Rawls and Thomas Pogge have argued, wholly apart from the practical benefits that we might gain from alleviating human misery abroad, justifying in moral terms why we owe more to strangers who are close at hand than we owe to strangers who are far away turns out to be complicated and, in the end, extremely difficult.”

I don’t know what it is exactly, but during the past months, a large number of very interesting and influential documentary films have been released or re-released. I don’t want to analyse why this is happening, I’ll just make a list of films worth watching if you like the “non-fiction” category.

The troops in Iraq, my fellow Polish citizens and others are caught up in a terrible quagmire. Under siege, under fire, under the scorching desert sun. Shot, wounded, dying every single day. Such is war. Of late, voices could be heard calling for a withdrawal of soldiers form the “Mess-o-potamia”, but I don’t think that would be the right thing to do now. Even though, I have been strongly opposed to this war since before it started, I will try to present here my case for why we must stay in Iraq.

I have just attended the Polish premiere of Fahrenheit 9/11 and it compelled me to restart my blog.

Nieograniczona wolnosc niszczy sama siebie. Znaczy ona bowiem, ze czlowiek silny moze znecac sie nad slabym i ograbiac go z jego wolnosci. Dlatego wlasnie domagamy sie, by panstwo ograniczalo wolnosc do pewnych granic tak, aby wolnosc kazdego czlowieka byla chroniona przez prawo. Nikt nie powinien byc na lasce innych, wszyscy natomiast powinni miec prawo do ochrony ze strony panstwa.
