Historiozofia Czesława Miłosza
The Historiosophy of Czesław Miłosz

Summary/Abstract: The author sketches the main trends in Milosz's historiosophic views. He starts with contrasting Milosz's tendency towards a disinterested contemplation of being with his propensity for the understanding of "doing" and the related need of involvement. Miłosz analyzes the extraordinary "acceleration oj history" in the last two centuries. He alsa tries to grasp the exceptionally complicated and tragic sequence of events in a poorly known part of Europe between Germany and Russia, on the territory of old-time Poland. The analysis of Milosz's views on a widely understood globalization concludes the text.
