Summary/Abstract: The author investigates the sources of thinking which leads to opposing the theoretical and the autobiographical or literary texts written by the scholars. Citing selected examples of the contemporary autobiographies of Polish academics, he outlines the intimate history of the humanities’ concept, based on the broad utilization of autobiographical texts when considering the whole work of each scholar. The main goal of this project is to supplement the history of humanities with the personal perspective of female and male researchers.
