Czeslaw Milosz against the Communist System - Contribution to the Discussion

Summary/Abstract: On the base of the scientific literature arose the disputes related to the question of whether literary works of Czesław Miłosz - exemplified by novel Zniewolony umysł - was a symptom of anti-communist or anti-totalitarian beliefs of Miłosz. We should note, apart from this dispute, that the views of the Polish poet are difficult to analyze in isolation from criticism that Miłosz spoke about the idea of nationalism and achievements of Polish Romanticism - especially the idea of messianism. Analysis of works of Czesław Miłosz, with emphasis on the anti-nationalist and anti-messianic factor, allow us to conclude that Miłosz did not represent the type of right-wing anti-communism.
