Summary/Abstract: The aim of article is the answer: What is a grammar? A set of rules, a supervisor of the order of languages? It establishes and guards what is convention, it is a sentinel of correctness. It sets limits and possibilities of use. What is Dariusz Czaja’s “grammar of whiteness”? This is the grammar of a color that is hard to define, semantically rich. It contains metaphors of neutrality, while being saturated with a multitude of colors. The Dialectics of whiteness by Czaja refers both to the supervision of established norms, as well as being a tool for organizing a selected systematics. Each of the essays contained in The Grammar of Whiteness can be treated as a separate epitaph. They are the mournful songs of a humanities that leans back on the limits of existence.
