„If the state of exception, bare life, is an everyday practice of democratic states, if the nomos of modernity is a concentration camp, then what are our chances for emancipation, even a dream of freedom? The answer to a question defined in this way not only is a matter of theory, but also of  political practice, borders and possibilities of the development of democratic society” (prof. Leszek Koczanowicz)
