Long overdue for translation into English, \u003cem\u003eThe Philosophy of Drama\u003c\/em\u003e is one of the most important works of Polish philosophy to date and a major contribution to phenomenology and the philosophy of dialogue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTischner writes of a drama that is at once personal and social, that is bound both by the stage of the present world and by the flow of time. It supposes human freedom while also recognizing the way in which human beings refuse to take responsibility for their freedom. It is a drama between divine and human freedom, on the one hand, and between the choice for good and evil, between humans as cursed or blessed, on the other. \u003cem\u003eThe Philosophy of Drama\u003c\/em\u003e addresses the profound question of why we should be responsible for one another and for the world in which we live and is essential reading for anyone trying to understand what it is to be human.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJózef Tischner (1931-2000) was one of the most influential Polish philosophers of the twentieth century and the semi-official chaplain of Solidarnośc.
