About Stanislaw Przybyszewski

S. Brzozowski

Przeglad Filozoficzno-Literacki (Philosophical/Literary Review) > 2006 > 3-4(15) > 11-61

In the article published in 'Droga' magazine in 1928, Stanislaw Brzozowski argued that Przybyszewski's book 'Zur Psychologie des Individuums' is the key to understanding his aesthetics and literary works. In his novels and plays, Przybyszewski showed the world in which 'we don't believe in truth anymore' and 'nothing is certain, everything is possible'. Besides, Przybyszewski himself was an oversensitive...

J. Zychowicz

Przeglad Filozoficzno-Literacki (Philosophical/Literary Review) > 2006 > 3-4(15) > 199-237

During the last century, both work and the complex biography of Stanislaw Brzozowski stirred vehement controversy in Polish culture. Recently, though, the opinion spread that this writer's time had passed. According to the author of the following essay, the converse is true. Maybe it is exactly now when we are gaining an opportunity to liberate Brzozowski from the context of the local ideology, which...

Brzozowski reads Przybyszewski

A. Dziedzic

Przeglad Filozoficzno-Literacki (Philosophical/Literary Review) > 2006 > 3-4(15) > 63-95

Stanislaw Brzozowski considered Stanislaw Przybyszewski to be an important philosopher who was aware of the crisis European culture reached at the turn of the 19th and 20th century. Brzozowski wanted to create a new cultural consciousness, to see humanity as the active power and not the victim of biological or historical circumstances. In 1902, he begun to develop his own philosophy, taking Przybyszewski...

The Language of Rebellion in the Works of Stanislaw Brzozowski

U. Gorska

Przeglad Filozoficzno-Literacki (Philosophical/Literary Review) > 2006 > 3-4(15) > 97-120

The works of Stanislaw Brzozowski reflect all modernist doubts about language. Under the influence of the works of such philosophers as Henri Bergson or Friedrich Nietzsche, the author of 'Legenda Mlodej Polski' (The Legend of Young Poland) formulated his own concept of the scientific discourse. The conviction about its untransparency led Brzozowski to abandon the traditional way of writing. Following...

To be a party for himself

H. Politt

Przeglad Filozoficzno-Literacki (Philosophical/Literary Review) > 2006 > 3-4(15) > 239-247

Brzozowski is a tenacious critic of superstitions of the so-called public opinion. His fate was the hardest possible: to be a party only for himself. Unjustly sunk into oblivion, for the German author is a thinker who focuses on the most significant and still relevant problems of Poland, and helps to understand them.

The Figure of a worker in Stanislaw Brzozowski and Ernst Jünger

M. Kopij

Przeglad Filozoficzno-Literacki (Philosophical/Literary Review) > 2006 > 3-4(15) > 157-178

Stanislaw Brzozowski and Ernst Jünger's view on world and life as well as intellectual profile of both authors show surprisingly many related points. That relationship arises because their aesthetic concepts and outlook of life were based on intense reading of Nietzsche and Jena romantics. Central category that brings both intellectuals closer together is the figure of a worker developed by Jünger...

P. Pieniazek

Przeglad Filozoficzno-Literacki (Philosophical/Literary Review) > 2006 > 3-4(15) > 133-155

The aim of this paper is to compare Brzozowski and Nietzsche in the context of the criticism of the modern world as well as to try to give a theoretical basis for authentic culture, and especially for authentic cultural creativity. These attempts define philosophical projects of both thinkers and determine the dynamics of their evolution and growing criticism of Nietzsche's thought in Brzozowski.

Brzozowski and religion. Series of dramatic turns

M. Nowak

Przeglad Filozoficzno-Literacki (Philosophical/Literary Review) > 2006 > 3-4(15) > 179-198

The religious thought of Stanislaw Brzozowski changed over time and fell into deep crises. His first crisis was provoked by a contact with Darwinism, when young Brzozowski lost his child's religious faith. At the further stages of his intellectual evolution, he was influenced by Amiel, Durkheim, Nietzsche, socialist thinkers and Polish romanticism. Finally, Brzozowski discovered religious thought...

Romain Rolland and Stanislaw Brzozowski towards scientific ethics

A. Sieroszewska-Kwiatek

Przeglad Filozoficzno-Literacki (Philosophical/Literary Review) > 2006 > 3-4(15) > 121-132

Like Romain Rolland, Brzozowski is convinced that any application of scientific methods in ethics leads inevitably to an approval of a principle according to which the ends justify the means, i.e., to moral relativism. However, in social and political life one should not neglect moral values, if we do not want to foredoom our society to unavoidable failure. Both thinkers emphasize the necessity of...

'Horla' in Chopin's music. On the fantastic kinships of Stanislaw Przybyszewski (Zur Psychologie des Individuums)

D Dziurzynski

Przeglad Filozoficzno-Literacki (Philosophical/Literary Review) > 2006 > 3-4(15) > 253-278

The essay focuses on relationship between works of Stanislaw Przybyszewski and content as well as aesthetics of the fantastic. At the beginning, author analyses the fragment of transposition of Chopin's music by Przybyszewski, in which there are some allusions to Horla by Guy de Maupassant.

Leszek Kolakowski and the Warsaw School of the History of Ideas

A. Walicki

Przeglad Filozoficzno-Literacki (Philosophical/Literary Review) > 2007 > 6 > 2-3(18) > 33-53

Of the HIstory of National Megalomania

Z. Ogonowski

Przeglad Filozoficzno-Literacki (Philosophical/Literary Review) > 2007 > 6 > 3-4(18) > 333-348

In the paper the author presents an outline of Wojciech Dembolecki's bizarre ideas, included in his treatise 'Wywód jedynowlasnego panstwa swiata...' (An Argument on the unique-and-own World-state...). This 17th century book can be perceived as a highest 'achievement' of the Polish national megalomania. At the same time, it is, according to the author, a unique phenomenon not only in Polish, but also...

To Give Providence a Shake

B. Baczko

Przeglad Filozoficzno-Literacki (Philosophical/Literary Review) > 2007 > 6 > 3-4(18) > 217-231

For Enlightenment, in the middle of 18th century, it is significant to understand nature in the categories of physical and moral order. Providence plays special role in it: it guarantees this order, but, at the same time, it is subordinated to the rules of that order rigorously. In this perspective, monsters and natural disasters, i.e. contingent accidents, through which nature seems to negate itself...

Tischner and Kolakowski

K. Michalski

Przeglad Filozoficzno-Literacki (Philosophical/Literary Review) > 2007 > 6 > 3-4(18) > 105-113

This paper gathers reflections on the occasion of a new edition (2002) of Józef Tischer's 'Polski ksztalt dialogu' (Polish Shape of Dialogue). According to the author, Tischner's book is on origins of fascination with Marxism, on what was good about it: sensitivity for human work being brutalized. This is also a book on origins of resistance against Marxism, both in life and in thought - resistance...

L. Szczucki

Humanistic Background of Writers and Thinkers in 15th and 16th Centuries

J. Domanski

Przeglad Filozoficzno-Literacki (Philosophical/Literary Review) > 2007 > 6 > 3-4(18) > 349-360

The Renessaince humanists, according to the author of the presented paper, were aware of the double meaning of the word 'Humanism', i.e., its philosophical-worldview meaning and education-cultural meaning. This duality contributes to the fact that, like in old Latin word 'humanitas', it refers to specifically human properties, especially to gentleness but also to refinement, polish or good manners...

Political Aspects of the 'Three Books' by Andrzej Frycz Modrzewski

S. Piwko

Przeglad Filozoficzno-Literacki (Philosophical/Literary Review) > 2007 > 6 > 3-4(18) > 419-433

The author tries to show that Frycz Modrzewski, from his first 'opusculum Lascius, sive de poena homicidii' - thanks to which he appeared on the stage of intellectual life of Poland - until his last pages of 'Sylvae', closing his work as a writer, did not cease to be a political author, even for a while. All his activity, especially as a theologian and the reformer of the Church, was subordinated...

H. Eilstein

Przeglad Filozoficzno-Literacki (Philosophical/Literary Review) > 2007 > 6 > 3-4(18) > 55-85

If There Is no God...' concerning religion in its existential and moral dimension.

Vision and Cognition

K. Pomian

Przeglad Filozoficzno-Literacki (Philosophical/Literary Review) > 2007 > 6 > 3-4(18) > 265-288

The ancient thought identified cognition with vision understood as an immediate relation between the cognitive faculty and its object. This was applied to the sensory as well as the intellectual cognition as shown by metaphors used to describe the latter. And this was maintained by Christian thought with some complications concerning the intellectual cognition introduced by the idea of illumination...

Antynomies of the Christian Understanding of History

T. Mrowczynski

Przeglad Filozoficzno-Literacki (Philosophical/Literary Review) > 2007 > 6 > 3-4(18) > 407-417

The 'discovery' of time and history is not, according to the author, the invention of modern times. It was Christianity, which in opposition to ancient thought, had made a valorization of time and historical becoming. In the contemporary treatises and papers on the Christian philosophy of history appear old Christian antynomies, such as the antynomy between some 'autonomy' of secular history and its...
