Summary/Abstract: Polish Hegelians are one of the most important philosophical groups in Poland in the 19thcentury. Their work, today overshadowed by the accomplishments of famous Romanticpoets, is still an interesting object of theoretical literary research. The treatises they wroteare characterized by extraordinary literariness, concerning both poetic language (numerousmetaphors, or comparisons) and narrative orderliness, Culler’s “unusual composition ofwords (rollrock)”. Hence, the idea to analyse Cieszkowski’s, Kremer’s and Libelt’s writings.My considerations fit into a hermeneutic interpretative key, which allows me to interpret thistype of work as a message from the past, at the same time defining the future. I refer to thefollowing categories: dialogue culture, critical reading, rhetoric and intertextuality.
