Filozof na prowincji w utworach pisarzy XIX wieku (wybrane zagadnienia)
The Philosopher in the Provinces in the Works of 19th Century Writers (Selected Issues)

Summary/Abstract: The article suggests reading Polish literature of the nineteenth century with the focus on philosophers as literary heroes, functioning in a specific geographical and mental context. This perspective helps to identify the mutual relationships between both disciplines, and also allows one to point out particular registers of the reception of nineteenth century philosophical currents and the way they resonated in the minds of Polish writers of that era. The references Adam Mickiewicz, Józef Ignacy Kraszewski, Boleslaw Prus, Adolf Dygasiński, and Wiktor Gomulicki made in their works to the ideas of Voltaire, Kant, Hegel, and the positivist philosophers, are also a symptom of cultural and civilisational transformations in Polish society, recorded by contemporary literature.
