Leszek Kołakowski, What kind of questions the great philosophers address to us
At long last! Years ago I had read English translation1 of these lectures, and I loved it. More precisely as Kołakowski wrote in the note on the English edition: „In the original Polish edition there are thirty essays. But publishers are cruel beasts, and they demanded a selection. The philosophers left out of this edition, for one reason or another (but through no fault of their own), are: Aristotle, Meister Eckhart, Nicolas of Cusa, Hobbes, Heidegger, Jaspers and Plotinus.”
Hungarian translation was made of the full Polish edition. I was very curious why had Aristotle and Heidegger left out of English translation.
