"<> is a highly impressive piece of academic work. Most elegantly written, it is erudite and well-researched as well as original and deeply passionate. Most importantly, moving between theology and literature, between anthropology and political philosophy, Lubczonok never loses sight of his main subject-the human subject itself." -Professor Adam Lipszyc, Institute of Philosophy and Sociology, Polish Academy of Science
