Summary/Abstract: Bruno Schulz and Witold Gombrowicz, two representatives of the Polish avant-garde prose of the 1930s, had not only different but even opposing worldviews and personal philosophies. This opposition has been revealedin the public conversation between them, which started with Gombrowicz’s open letter. In his response, Schulz calls Gombrowicz a „great humanist”. An analysis of Schulz’s correspondence and artistic works shows his antihumanist approach to the world.
