Far from believing that the author has "correct views on everything," the reader is likely to be convinced that Kolakowski is right on more than one point. One's rejection of Marxist ideology does not have to lead, Kolakowski implicitly suggests, to the dismissal of the Marxist dream of a world without greed. Being critical of this or that item in the Church's politics should not have to make one reject Jesus's teaching. Finally, being concerned with liberalism's inability to generate moral values should not lead us past the compelling reasons to accept the liberal state as the only viable political alternative both to the follies of the movement in the twentieth century and the dangers of religious theocratic temptations.
What Kolakowski offers in his new collection of essays is, in short, a "catechism" for non-ideological Marxists, Catholic Christians, liberals and conservatives alike. Once again, Kolakowski offers his readers pleasure without equal.
