Summary/Abstract: The book discusses the cultural reconstruction of the history of the concept of fantasy on the basis of the texts of thinkers connected to Polish philosophical idealism of the mid-19th century. The author employs the methodology taken from the history of concepts to present interdisciplinary disputes and discussions on fantasy in the 1840s–1870s. The publication describes three groups of thinkers – masters of national philosophy, teachers of the Main School, and their positivist students – presenting the most important philosophical inspirations and dominant theoretical disciplines, which are the basis to demonstrate the transformations of the contemporary discourses and models of man.
