Summary/Abstract: In this article the author pays attention to the problem of Brunon Schulz’s attitude to the posthumous glory and remained in descendants memory. The essay entitled Roam of sceptic written by Bruno Schulz (for the first time published in ”Tygodnik Ilustrowany” in 1936) has been taken up as the subject of the current discussion. In this essay, culture as the process of becoming an inherent part of descendant’s memory, seems to be the object of polemical ref lection. Horatian topos non omnis moriar, deeply rooted in European culture, was stripped by Bruno Schulz of the pathos of centuries-old tradition. The artist put the attention of readers to the legacy of Pyrrhon of Elis. The views of Schulz have been presented against the backgrounds of Heidegger, Cassirer, and Santayana philosophy of culture.
