Summary/Abstract: The author of the text analyzing a book entitled Bielik-Robson. Żyj i pozwól żyć [Bielik-Robson. Live and let live] – a conversation with Agata Bielik-Robson conducted by Michał Sutowski. She describes the influence of the academic work of the philosopher on constructing her auto/biography. Autobiographical narrative – in which the most important part is the experience of the generation of martial law – is confronted with the conception of modern subjectivity proposed by Bielik-Robson and the philosophical phenomenon of ‘the anxiety of influence’ related to this phenomenon. In the text the author defends the thesis that thephilosophical attitude is not only the base for auto/biography, but also defines the worldview of the philosopher, which means it also defines the way of perceiving the surrounding reality and the rules of being in it.
