Śmierć — być in czy out? Między potrzebą sensu a doświadczeniem absurdu

Author(s): Monika Malczak / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The article is an attempt to present the discourse of death in philosophy and literature. Itseems that understanding of what death is and where it can be found, may be arrived at be-tween the extremes of searching for sense and experiencing the absurdity of death. Such purelyradical views are rarely expressed, hence, the problem with taking any definite attitude towardsdeath ensues. For between these two extremes a whole array of approaches to dying and waysof overcoming fear and grief expands; fear of what is unknown, grief at what is lost — namely,life. According to the author of the article, it is, above all, the mystery of this phenomenon thatthreatens the members of modern culture and their ability to think rationally.

Czy były polskie teoretyczki sztuki? "O wychowaniu estetycznym" Janiny Mortkowiczowej

Author(s): Julia Harasimowicz / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The paper discusses the first Polish-language text “On Aesthetic Education” ["O wychowaniu estetycznym" (1903)] on the postulate of general aesthetic education of citizens by the writer, pedagogue, and publisher Janina Mortkowiczowa, and explores the educational and philosophical frameworks that she uses to support her argument, showcasing the author’s extensive understanding of intellectual culture in Western Europe and its meaning in the Polish context. The paper’s arguments make a case for “On Aesthetic Education” being more than just the first Polish text addressing the importance of cultivating an aesthetic sensibility, but also one of the earliest texts in the 20th century discussing art theory, explicitly exploring the social impact of art.
