The Crisis of Dialogue and Political Community: Philosophical Reflections on the Relationship Between Pluralism, Difference and Dialogue

Dr hab. Anna Rossmanith

University of Warsaw

English abstract: The aim of this article is to present the relationship between pluralism, difference and dialogue as the foundation of an open society. The fundamental philosophical perspective of the study is centred around unique Levinas’ ethics. According to Levinas, we can see a difference as a creative component of a community and therefore abandon the ontological notion of the world understood as a whole and totality. In the undertaken considerations, the author refers to categories such as polis, deliberative democracy and external morality of law.

Keywords: dialogue, political community, polis, pluralism, difference, communication, open society

Are societies of liquid modernity open societies? Two visions: Karl Popper and Zygmunt Bauman

Dr Krzysztof Sielski


English abstract: The topic of this paper is an attempt to combine two, seemingly very divergent points of view: represented by widely recognized as the postmodernist Zygmunt Bauman and by Karl Popper, who is known as a critical rationalist and a scientist. I’m going to defend the thesis that despite the fact that these thinkers represent so radically different philosophical traditions, one can identify a far-reaching similarity between Bauman’s concept of liquid modernity and Popper’s model of an open society.

Keywords: liquid modernity, Zygmunt Bauman, open society, Karl Popper
