- In the author’s opinion, location of evil is possible by referring it to the whole of reality. Such knowledge can only be provided by a reference to the religious conception of the world. In addition to practical knowledge (ethics and rituals) religions provide such interpretation of reality which is impossible to acquire through knowledge obtained from experiments (basic to science). From a religious viewpoint – rejecting transcendent sources of knowledge about evil and good – evil is only a single event, a mistake, a flaw of the method. Man recognizes it in his experience of pain, suffering, futility of his activities and in the experience of life failure. It is, therefore, subjective and historically and culturally variable. However, within religious views of reality the nature of evil consists not only of the existential but also methaphysical aspect, which has been pointed out by the two eminent Polish thinkers. In religious thinking, according to Leszek Kołakowski, the world appears as a wholeness created and ordered by God. However, according to the mythical theory explaning the nature of reality, this order is not permanent. Its fundaments are guarded by taboos. Evil means transgressing the taboo. It is, therefore, an action against the fundaments of reality. Human inclination to evil is, according to Kołakowski, symbolized by the concept-symbol of the devil. For Józef Tischner religion is, above all, trust and faith in God. People that we meet are a trace of God. Actions of one man – aimed at harming or destroying the other – are the most basic and most dangerous. For they are aimed not only at the other person but also at God.
