For Kołakowski philosophy is not a profession, it is a vocation, which simply means that philosophy is not for him, but he is for philosophy and that it was not him who chose, but he was chosen by philosophy and thus became his fate. The paper begins with the introduction and a brief analysis of evil both contemporary as well as in ancient times; then the author tries to bring closer the views of Polish philosopher on human nature and the possibility of constructing moral codecs to be a beacon for the community.
