Kontrowersje wokół autorytetu w świetle analiz Józefa M. Bocheńskiego na tle współczesnej recepcji idei Oświecenia

Abstract

The subject of the article is the underlying assumptions and consequences of the logic of authority Józef M. Bocheński’s concerning the contemporary discussion on the crisis of authority (Hanna Arendt, Paul Ricoeur). In the article, I present an answer to the question of whether the categorical analysis proposed by Bocheński sufficiently explains the problems and aporias related to the understanding of authority and freedom. I want to answer this question based on a historical source analysis of his works, such as Analysis of Authority (1965) and Was ist Autorität? (1974).
