Summary/Abstract: The research Błoński and Criticism of Consciousness (in the field of Polish literary research ‘thematic criticism’) considers the presence of this particular French tradition, very important to Błoński, in terms of his critical approach and conceptions and in his very critical practise. Błoński was the translator and the editor of the selection of philosophical-critical texts of Gaston Bachelard and George Poulet (i.a.). Especially the last one made a significant impact on critical imagination of the Polish literary scholar. The author of this essay collating the theses from Błoński’s book on Proust and excerpts from his translations from Poulet’s Time, shows the resemblance of the „thematic” presumptions, arguments and conclusions, that both critics apply to the work of Proust.
