Law and Literature. The Places for Metaphysical Thinking

Summary/Abstract: Wherever there is a man, there is place for metaphysical thinking. As metaphysical thinking is the search for the causes of reality which, as principia (arché), are its material and the development principle. This way of thinking is structurally irremovable from the human brain. It helps us understand reality, or discover the sense that designates the sphere of praxis. Losing the sense means an atrophy of action. Metaphysical thinking has also got its great importance in the theory of human rights. To accept the assumption that the needs determine the content of the human rights, is to accept the thesis that the content of the human rights is determined by the goods that are first and foremost needed by the human metaphysical structure. The identification of these dependencies, or the search for what is timeless, is the metaphysical way of thinking. Moreover, the poetic texts by Miłosz and Rymkiewicz are an effect of identifying the principals of existence. Artistic means of expression have allowed for an accurate exposure of the metaphysical problems, together with its components:the understanding of the first cause of reality, its laws and structure, its place, and the place of a man in the world.
