The ethics of thinking in Heidegger, Bruno & Spinoza
No full textThe aim of the present work is to face Heidegger’s claim that philosophy has ended.
Facing this claim for us has not taken the form of creating a new method or positing a
new question but that of a search for anomalies in what Heidegger decrees as
finished, which is philosophy as metaphysics. In his historical confrontation with the
history of thought Heidegger seems to have left out, dismissed or forgotten those
authors who do not fit into his definition of metaphysics. We have chosen Giordano
Bruno and Baruch Spinoza, metaphysical thinkers who have undertaken a
philosophical practice that does not intend to demolish subjectivity but actually
begins without any need for it. The birth of the subject as grounding reality finds its
affirmation with Descartes and inaugurates modernity that, according to Heidegger,
exhausts philosophy and leads it into the arms of modern science and technology.
Bruno and Spinoza respectively precede and follow the birth of modernity and of
modern science, which they look at with an eye that is not that of the modern subject.
Following their different approaches to philosophy, we shall also explore their
relation to Renaissance Humanism, dismissed by Heidegger as a historical reiteration
of the Roman world, perceived as a perversion of the Greek origin of thought. We
shall show how hasty such a dismissal is. Our goal is to show not merely that
Heidegger is wrong but that if Western thinking contains the seeds of its own end, it
also contains the ones of a different understanding of the Western world and its
achievements. The three authors will engage on the grounds of ontology, gnosiology
and ethics and yet we have defined the whole enterprise of this work as an ethics
overall. An ethics of thinking is a practice of thought that wishes to envisage the
possibility for Western man of inhabiting his own world by understanding himself
not as an isolated subject and master of nature but as the place where the unity and
multiplicity of nature come to be thought at the same time

On Bruno Schulz’s Bookplates
No full textArtykuł jest nawiązaniem dialogu z interpretacją ekslibrisów Brunona Schulza dokonaną przez Władysława Panasa w jego książce Bruno od Mesjasza (Lublin 2001). Próba odmiennego odczytania księgoznaków (mniej holistycznego) prowadzi autora artykułu do wniosku, że w markach ochronnych Schulza dopatrzeć się można pierwszego wariantu mitycznej Księgi – tego podstawowego motywu późniejszej twórczości pisarskiej Brunona Schulza.The article is entering into a dialogue with the interpretation of Bruno Schulz’s bookplates made by Władysław Panas in his book Bruno od Mesjasza (Lublin 2001). An attempt to understand them in a different (less holistic) way leads the author of the article to the conclusion that in Schulz’s plates the first veiled of the mythical Book may be seen – of the fundamental motif of Bruno Schulz’s later literary work
Promenade Abroad with Bruno Schulz
No full textThe article depicts ethnic, religious, as well as cultural and literary background of Bruno Schulz and his work. The author argues with some Schulz’s biographers and commentators in order to differentiate between facts and ‘myths’ or interpretations of writer’s life. Moreover, the author traces the main lines of Schulz’s foreign reception and addresses some critical remarks about translations of his work into English, as well as about the other examples of reading and popularizing Schulz’s legacy and heritage, especially in Anglophone cultural contexts

Hermeneutics of paternity in Bruno Schulz’s prose
No full textThe article is an attempt to read a philosophical load of prose by Bruno
Schulz, a writer whose biography marked by the tragic experiences of the
Soviet and Nazi totalitarianism is an example of an artist who was turned into
a slave. In Schulz’s prose strikes the focus on the father and the son relationship,
which is a reversal of the key projects of modernity paradigm of a slave
and his master.
The axis of the dialectic of Schulz’s father – son are parallel phenomena
of presence and absence of the father. Schulz’s narrative fits into the biblical
archetype, evokes the heritage of the Patriarchs (James and Joseph), raises the
question about the source of being. The fact of renewing the birth, the flow of
existence from one entity to the other makes the dialectic of the father and the
son a core of anthropological thought. Bruno Schulz, regardless of his break
with Judaism and agnostic attitude shows the anthropological significance
of the vision of Genesis, according to which man owes its existence to the
creative will of God.
In Schulz’s prose we meet images of deformation of the source father – son
relationship in various forms of authoritarianism: the family, institutional and
political.ks. dr hab.

Bruno and Caravaggio : the heretic philosopher and the heretic artist in the works of Gustaw Herling-Gruziński
No full textTekst prezentuje podwójny portret Bruno i Caravaggio - w sztuce i nauce, zakreślony przez polskiego pisarza emigracyjnego Herlinga-Grudzińskiego, który napisał serię tekstów o nich, w ujęciu ich typowych cech charakterystycznych. W tekście analizuje się następujące eseje Herlinga-Grudzińskiego: "Caravaggio" (1990) i historię o Giordano Bruno - Głęboki cień (1994) jak też fragmenty "Dziennika pisanego nocą" (1995) i "Rozmowy w Dragonei" (1997) między Herlingiem-Grudzińskim a Boleckim.The present text follows the extraordinary “double portrait” of Bruno and Caravaggio - rebels in science and art, who are being "painted" by the Polish emmigrant writer in his works. They live together in his thoughts for many years. Herling writes series of texts about them, in which the position of the main character changes, but the remaining one is always inseparably present. The texts analyzed are his essay "Caravaggio" (1990) and the story about Giordano Bruno – “Deep shadow” (1994). There are fragments of them which are shown in "Journal Written at Night" (1985, 1996), and in "Talks in Dragonea" (1997) - between Herling and Bolecki
Homer’s Allusive Art
No full textArtykuł jest fragmentem książki Bruno Curriego Homer’s Allusive Art, Oxford University Press, Oxford 2016, s 1-9, 12-18.
W swojej książce Homer’s Allusive Art. Bruno Currie broni tezy, w ramach której uznaje, że w najstarszych zachowanych przykładach greckiej poezji heksametrycznej można wykryć na-wiązania do wcześniejszej greckiej poezji epickiej. Punktem wyjścia dla argumentacji zaprezentowanej w jego książce jest krytyczne omówienie i połączenie dwóch wpływowych, lecz odmiennych podejść badawczych wprowadzonych do studiów nad Homerem przez Foleya (tradycyjna referencjalność) oraz Pasquali’ego (sztuka aluzji). Swojego własnego stanowiska wobec obecności refleksów wcześniejszej poezji w między innymi Iliadzie broni autor poprzez stworzenie rygorystycznych ram teoretycznych, zastosowanie bogatej ilustracji w postaci przykładów (czerpanych nie tylko z greckiej tradycji epickiej) oraz poprzez skuteczną polemikę z poglądami innych badaczy.Under the „All rights reserved” license we publish Polish translation of the fragment of Bruno Currie Homer’s Allusive Art, Oxford University Press, Oxford 2016, pp. 1-9, 12-18
Wastelands and ruins. Bruno Dumont’s Flanders
No full textThe paper presents Bruno Dumont’s vision of Flanders. A French director from Bailleul
makes no comments on today’s situation of the region, nor does he directly speak of its history. However, he uses its landscape in many different ways in the process of constructing his tales of contemporary post-secular world. In such films as The Life of Jesus, Humanity and Flanders, as well as in TV series L’il Quinquin and Coincoin and the Extra-Humans, locality and topography of Flanders play the role of a microcosmos in which problems observed in the macro scale may be clearly seen.Artykuł dotyczy obrazu Flandrii zawartego w filmach Bruno Dumonta. Pochodzący z Bailleul francuski reżyser nie komentuje aktualnej sytuacji regionu ani nie odwołuje się wprost do jego historii, na różne sposoby wykorzystuje jednak flandryjski pejzaż do konstruowania opowieści o współczesnym postsekularnym świecie. W filmach takich jak Życie Jezusa, Ludzkość czy Flandria, tak samo jak w serialach Mały Quinquin oraz Coincoin i Nieludzie, flandryjska lokalność i topografia funkcjonują jako mikrokosmos, w którym uwidaczniają się problemy obserwowane w skali makro
