Antynatalizm jako recepta na problemy współczesności?
Streszczenie
The paper is an attempt to bring nearer the central assumptions of the
anti-natalist thought and thus to answer the question whether antinatalism
could be a solution to the problems of contemporary world. In
order to achieve this, the roots of the movement, which stem from
Eastern philosophy, are presented. Then, certain types of anti-natalism
are examined. In the process the sources of inspiration for analysed
thought are traced back to the philosophical and religious pessimisms,
but it also becomes clear that anti-natalism displays many more
inspirations both from western and eastern intellectual traditions. Next,
the arguments for anti-natalism are presented and at the end of the paper
it is argued, while answering the eponymous question, that anti-natalism
view needs some modifications or must be interpreted in a certain way
in order to render it helpful in solving our present-day problems.
