Urojone-nic. Pojęcie zasady w Etre, monde, imaginaire Stanislasa Bretona
Imaginary Nothing. The Concept of Principle in Stanislas Breton's Etre, monde, imaginaire

Summary/Abstract: A philosophical study of the concept of the principle was conducted by Stanislas Breton in his two books: Du principle, and Etre, monde, imaginaire, the first of which was dominated by its analytical and abstract style, while the second was speculative and imaginary. This article undertakes the tast of reconstructing the idea of the principle contained in the latter position. In the first part of the article the author presents two currents of thought concerning the principle: the ontological, which is based on the category of logos, and the ontomythological, for which the leading category is mythos. After discussing the differences between these two fields of thought and their corresponding fields of being, the author undertakes an attempt at describing the absolute source of reality - imaginary-nothing. The attempt is accompanied by a presentation of the way in which the ineffable principle produces the Word, whose original expression is the prattle. The article concludes with an analysis of fable as the original form of expression of the imaginary-nothing, from which arise the two trunks of rationality mentioned above: the ontological and the ontomythological.
