Konkretyzacja jako samoodczytanie i samougruntowanie. Paradoksy ontologii fikcji w Pana Profesora dzienniku sekretnym Artura Przybysławskiego
Concretisation as Self-Reading and Self- Grounding. Paradoxes of the Ontology of Fiction in Pana Profesora Dziennik Sekretny [Mr Professor’s Secret Diary] by Arthur Przybysławski)

Summary/Abstract: This article provides a phenomenological analysis of Pana Profesora dziennik sekretny [Mr Professor’s Secret Diary] (2022) by Artur Przybysławski, a Professor of Philosophy from Krakov and a pupil of Władysław Stróżewski. The novel follows the genre rules of a diary where a fictitious hero attacks his author in a very rude way. It is a peculiar continuation of the writer’s literary debut titled Pan Profesor [Mr Professor] (2020), offering a witty satire of academia, abundant in literary and philosophical allusions (“you keep scribbling all those unconcretized, outdated, and pathetic schematized aspects of mine;”). The author of this paper highlights the mechanisms of philosophical discourse parody applied by Przybysławski and, using Ingarden’s scientific categories, identifies paradoxes of the ontology of fiction which is “bodilessly embodied” by the eponymous Mr Professor.
