Summary/Abstract: The article presents the anthropological portrait of Brunon Schulz in the light of his correspondence with Julian Tuwim and Witkacy, and with reference to diaries of Witold Gombrowicz and Zofia Nałkowska. This issue has been taken into consideration in the context of Max Scheler’s philosophy and his anthropological theory of ens amans. In this aspect meaning of love has been identified with agape, and is also perceived to be a centre of meeting with the Other. Schulz regarded his intellectual friends, writers, as subjects worthy of love who are able to engrave the ordo amoris in the mind of the Second one. Bruno Schulz’s adoration of the Second is an anthropological process of auto transformation which has opened a man for the upper level of existence..
