Recepcja myśli Sorena Kierkegaarda w filozofii Józefa Tischnera
The Reception of Soren Kierkegaard Thought in Józef Tischner's Philosophy

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to indicate the sources of Józef Tischner's philosophical inspiration in Soren Kierkegaard's texts. For Tischner Kierkegaard appeared as a great expert in human matters and as a exquisite, subtle romantic writer. In his refined use of metaphors Tishcner searches for material to describe a network of almost imperceptible connections of values, norms and customs, by which a human being is wrapped in his/her everyday life. This network Tischner calls the "little axiology of everyday life". He does not penetrate in all the structure of the very complicated existential philosophy of Soren Kierkegaard, but using his quasi phenomenological descriptions our philosopher performs his own analysis in the sphere of the phenomenon of drama and the philosophy of meeting. Tischner devotes a lot of attention to a phenomenon of existential despair, and to certain degree he has a dispute with Kierkegaard. In the last part of this article philosophical divergences of both philosophers are indicated, which have the source in different Christian creeds and in the historical differences of national cultures.
