Ziemska czy niebiańska? Wizja miłości u Cypriana Kamila Norwida i Sørena Kierkegaarda
Earthly or Heavenly? Visions of love in Cyprian Kamil Norwid and Søren Kierkegaard

Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the analysis of conceptions of love created by two nineteenth century thinkers: Cyprian Kamil Norwid and Søren Kierkegaard. Although their att itude to love has not been widely compared, the authors believe that it is important to point out similarities. Both the Polish writer and the Danish philosopher are focused on engagement and marriage, which are thought to be conventional ways of expressing the feeling. They criticise the imperfection of “love profane”. Their goal is to emphasize the spiritual aspect of love, which is connected with Christian thought.
