Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life in the Polish Context

This article provides an in-depth analysis of Jordan Peterson's "12 Rules for Life," grounded in the specificity of Polish culture and Christian thought. The author argues that freedom is not merely a state of possession, but a process achieved by living in truth and taking responsibility for one's own destiny. The text combines modern evolutionary psychology, including the role of the serotonin system and the dominance hierarchy, with the classical concept of Logos. The reader will find practical guidance on parenting, precision of speech, and coping with inevitable suffering through the via negativa method. It is a compendium of knowledge on how to transform chaos into meaningful order in Polish socio-historical reality, drawing on the achievements of existential psychology and anthropology.
