Abstract: Abstract. Suffering is the most common phenomenon in the world today, according to the Polish sociologist, Jan Szczepanski, former president of the International Sociological Association. There is an external world differentiated from the internal world that is said to be the highest level man can reach. In it, he believes, loneliness prevails. Freedom is always a search for an absence of co‐dependence. The purpose of life is not achieving something but is in man himself. In the internal world one gains freedom, one transcends any determinism. Perhaps Szczepanski has been influenced by Indian philosop.
