Zygmunt Bauman on Religion Presentation and Criticism

Summary/Abstract: In this article, the author reviews the expressed thoughts of Z. Bau¬man in the context of Christian motifs present in the texts of left-wing intellectuals. In this analysis of selected motifs of Bauman's work, the author first makes a short introduction, presenting the philosopher. Next, he shows Bauman's hermeneutics of Christianity. Finally, the author presents an assessment of Bauman's views in the form of apologia. Left-leaning intellectuals are critical of Christianity in their theses. Bauman, an agnostic, evaluates Christianity with a cool eye. He is concerned about evangelical radicalism and attachment to the truth. Therefore, he postulates that believers should open themselves to the world and give up their own confessional identity and start building a broad human coalition.
