Summary/Abstract: The participants of the discussion, including the author of the monograph in question, are reconstructing the categorical logic of the book, which is not fully revealed in the text. They argue about the relation between conciliatory monism and confrontational dualismas an attitude of the description of the literary field and also about the relation between continuances and interruptions in the historical-literary process. Their debate forms the basis for raising questions of transcendental nature, firstly, about the development of the literary historian’s subjectivity in the relation to his or her predecessors, secondly,about his or her attitude to what is being studied and to the receivers of the discourse of literary history, thirdly, last but not least, about the relation between literary studies and its methodology to philosophy. At the end of the discussion remarks on the immanent politicalness of the history of literature are formulated.
