'Traktat moralny': poezja jako „akt umysłu”
'Traktat moralny': Poetry as an ‘Act of Mind’

Summary/Abstract: Milosz’s Traktat moralny [‘The Moral Treatise’], as a manifestation of the poet’s proactive attitude toward the reality, cannot be made subject to rigours of a philological analysis. This Treatise is Milosz’s most daring political work. The author’s argument is that if the ‘political-commentary’ aspect of this poem is neglected, the piece gets deprived of its poetic vein. Hence, a course of reading should be sought for which would enable confrontation of various orders of meaning.
