Jan M. Piskorski, the author of the essay, takes us on a journey through the labyrinth of European culture, where the belief in linear progress collides with the eternal struggle between good and evil. His erudition and insight allow us to look at contemporary problems from a new perspective, drawing on the wisdom of ancient civilizations. The author analyzes how falsehood and desire affect our societies, leading to an almost puppet-like state, where individuals lose control over their own destiny.

In his essay, Piskorski also touches on the issue of compromise and diversity, pointing to civilizations that were unable to cope with them. In such societies, any deviation from the norm threatened conflict, and unity was enforced without pardon. The author recalls the words of the ancient Greek shepherd Hesiod, who recommended respect for the law, work, honesty and thrift as a path to prosperity. A friendly neighbor is a treasure that must be constantly sought, because disagreement is a simple path to misfortune.

The book "Women at the End of the World and Other Essays" is not only a collection of reflections on European culture, but also an invitation to dialogue and search for your own answers to questions about the meaning of life and the role of the individual in society. It is a read that makes you think and inspires you to act, reminding you of the values that are the foundation of our civilization.
