NED together with the Embassy of Poland will host a discussion of the legacy of Polish philosopher Leszek Kolakowski, the thinker who, more profoundly than any intellectual since George Orwell, explained the origins and deformities of communist totalitarianism and the threat it posed to human freedom. Zbigniew Brzezinski will moderate a discussion featuring panelists Richard Pipes, George Weigel, Abbas Milani, and Nadia Diuk.
