Freedom as Practice: From Kołakowski to Civic Tools

This article provides a profound analysis of the concept of freedom, moving beyond superficial political slogans toward the real capacity to create a new reality. The author juxtaposes Leszek Kołakowski's classical philosophy with modern psychological theories, such as the theory of self-determination and the concept of psychological safety. The text argues that authentic freedom is realized through concrete civic tools: systemic petitions, transparency in public life, and the fight against the precariat. The considerations cover a broad spectrum—from quantum mechanics and theology to practical systemic reforms and term limits. This is a call for building an agency society in which individual autonomy becomes the foundation of a strong and transparent state, based on conscious participation and responsibility for our shared future.
