Prawdziwych wizjonerów dziś już nie ma?
Today True Visionaries Are No More

Summary/Abstract: The author presents his reflections on the status and presence of visionaries in culture, their assessment, changing functions, and requirements in a text that assumed the form of a philosophical dialogue (conducted in a light-hearted vein) modelled on the Platonic feast, in whose course mythical Gods and Heroes conduct a dispute contesting the role and character of the Visionary as well as the condition of modern man functioning in more or less formal communities. Both the form and the participants of the dialogue are of crucial importance for comprehending the topic and the contents presented within. In these reflections, with the particular parts written out, the author broached upon sincerity, honesty, and decency within widely comprehended interpersonal contacts by evoking such thinkers as Plato or Stefan Themerson, as well as ideas transmitted in the form of a myth and referring to the above-mentioned and, in his opinion, deficit values characterising the genuine Visionary that each one of us could, after all, become.
