Contemporary democracy is in crisis. People believe less and less in a system of democratic institutions that can cope with today's social problems. Leszek Koczanowicz sheds new light on this problem, using the ideas of M. M. Bakhtin and others to show that dialogue in democracy can transcend both antagonistic and consensual perspectives. Koczanowicz provides an overview of the history of the dialogue/antagonism opposition as it is embedded in modern political theory, and the concept of dialogue in contemporary political theory. He goes on to demonstrate that Bakhtin's theory of dialogism can introduce a new quality into political theory, allowing us to overcome the liberalism/communitarianism debate. To conclude, he introduces a concept of 'critical community' a "dialogical, self-reflective community critical of its own tradition" to show that collective identities can be constructed in critical dialogue with the tradition and values of community.

Leszek Koczanowicz's book explores the emancipatory power of the human body in everyday life, examining its potential for liberation within societal structures. The work delves into the philosophical and cultural implications of artificial intelligence, questioning the reduction of human experience to language models and advocating for a more holistic understanding of human existence that incorporates both thought and action. Through a critique of dualistic theories, the text situates the body as central to human identity and societal change. Intended for an audience interested in philosophy, cultural studies, and the impact of technology on society, the book challenges the dominance of disembodied perspectives and emphasizes the active, corporeal nature of human beings.
