On exile, philosophy & tottering insecurely on the edge of an unknown abyss

The Summer 2005 issue of Dædalus contains an interview I did with the Polish philosopher Leszek Kolakowski in which we discuss, among other things, the death of Czeslaw Milosz, Roman Polanski's The Pianist, Kolakowski's years in and out of the Communist Party, his exile from Poland, his views of the Western Left, modern humanism, the future of Europe, the state of Euro-American relations, and our metaphysical predicament.
