Abstract

As a philosopher and thinker, Kolakowski's literary creation practice in the 1960s had a profound meaning of exploration. He hoped to achieve two goals in the Lailonia world he created: one is to show the modern alienation and the absurdity of the world in his vision, and the second is to seek the resolutions of human spiritual liberation: not only philosophical criticism but also laughter and humor are important elements of it.
