The Functioning of Stanisław Brzozowski’s Thought within the Years 1945–1948

Summary/Abstract: The article is an analysis of texts launched from 1945 to 1948 on Stanisław Brzozowski’s heritage in postwar Poland. The author of the paper does not limit his observations only to presenting the emerging voices concerning the matter, but presents them as symptoms of a more widespread phenomenon of social, political and cultural character. The problems raised in the paper are the relationship to Polish tradition of non-communist left wing as well as to the issue of writers’ identity redefinition stances and beliefs. The author, resorting to case study, also attempts to prove that the first postwar years were the period of boisterous intellectual exchange and discussion on the shape of new Poland not only in its political and social dimension, but also in a cultural one.
