"filozofia schodzi do katakumb"
"philosophy is pushed to catacombs"


Explanation:
Ciagle istnieje, tylko zostaje ukryta, a przez to staje sie silniejsza. Religia zepchnieta do katakumb nie umiera, a wrecz przeciwnie kwitnie w ukryciu. Mysle, ze autor chetnie zachowalby te analogie.
Znalazlam nawet przyklad.

Philosophy is being pushed into the background


Explanation:
To oznacza, że filozofia nie tyle przestaje istnieć, co zostaje zepchnięta na dalszy plan, co innego staje się priorytetem.
