Amicitia a tyranobójstwo

The text considers the relations between friendship and revolution. The author seeks inspiration for the understanding of these relations in St. Thomas’s opusculum, On Kingship, Negri’s and Hardt’s books and Jadwiga Staniszkis Samoograniczająca się rewolucja [Self-limiting Revolution]. Friendship helps to rebel against tyranny but the overpowering rebellion hinders the maintenance of friendship – St. Thomas suggests. The solution is a difficult art of the self-limiting of revolution, inspired by the Christian love of a neighbour and Mao Tse-Tung’s cultural revolution (within limits, of course).
