The article is an attempt to read Franz Kafka’s texts in the light of findings includedin the article of the 20th-century philosopher and sociologist of religion, Jacob Taubes. ForTaubes, Kafka’s key figure is exclusion, a phenomenon of alienness of characters createdby the author of The Castle. “Kafka describes the world from the perspective of an outsider,who is desperately seeking the acceptance of the world”, he wrote. In this article, thephilosopher’s words will be verified. The basic question is whether Taubes as the messianicbard of the revolution (whose presence in the national philosophical reflection becamebelatedly increasingly noticeable) does not use too radical simplification in his laconicinterpretation of Kafka’s writing.
