Keywords: Adam Mickiewicz; inner cognition; hermeneutics; philosophy of action
Summary/Abstract: The essence of the knowledge Mickiewicz projects is the inner experience presented from a hermeneutical perspective that is as a process of welding the sphere of inner experience with the outside reality as a whole. This particular approach to knowledge makes it a harmonious unity that results from the potential of the spirit which pervades spiritual as well as physical matters, blending at the same time the cognition of the spiritual and material world, and so merging two academic disciplines: humanities and science. The knowledge Mickiewicz craves for proves in action. According to him, anything that can be put in practice is true, hence Mickiewicz's concept of poetry steadily transforms into philosophy of action.
