Abstract

The presented text is a polemical article with the book by Costic Bradatan Dying for Ideas. The Dangerous Lives of the Philosophers (Polish translation by D.J. Skotarek, Warsaw 2020). The first part of the article contains a summary of its main theses; the second, by posing general questions about the relationship between dying and philosophy, criticizes them. The conclusion of this article is as follows: although Bradatan’s book is a neat juxtaposition of the life of philosophers who, while treating philosophy as a way of life, were simultaneously murdered or took their own lives, it is far from presenting the relationship between philosophy and dying in a profound and revealing way.
