Robert Spaemann is one of the leading contemporary philosophers whose thought is focused on Christian ethics. Despite his bonds with the Catholic Church he does not use philosophy to “prove” a doctrine but proposes individual ideas avoiding reductions. His reflections on people’s naturalness and historicity, teleology, paradoxicality of science do not lead to simple solutions but are the consequence of participation in the society of contingency. The authoress of this sketch considers if Spaemann’s thought could be inspiring for non-Catholics, as well as ponders over its connections with postsecularism, working out the modernity in respect of religiosity. This article shows what appears from his interpretations to the critical members of (post)modern society and where today is a place for heading for “the immortal rumor”. The authoress explains how Spaemann argues for the potential of anthropomorphic view and human ability to go beyond himself – which does not lead into nothingness.

The author examines the question of cultural memory reflected in two volumes of the book Talks about Teschen Silesia. They contain 35 interviews conducted by a journalist and historian Andrzej Drobik with 35 outstanding people connected with that region. Paying attention to various elements of the local and cultural memory, they represent different views on the history and identity of that place. Some aspects of the past presented by them refer to multicultural community, in which Polish, German, Czech, Jewish etc. elements coexisted. In the article, they are analyzed through the prism of historical consciousness, that is functioning and using the convictions about the past, including creating of the regional politics of memory. In the article, they are analyzed through the prism of historical awareness, that is, the functioning and use of beliefs about the past, including the creation of a regional memory policy. Notwithstanding the phenomenon of memory boom, Śląsk Cieszyński also has many issues left in the collective memory – e.g. German contribution to the development of Cieszyn, or complicated fates of Polish minoriy in so called Zaolzie. These and other issues are considered by the author in the light of above-mentioned interviews, which, however, carry more questions than conclusions, thus they are only a starting point for reflection.

Autorka rozpatruje zagadnienia pamięci kulturowej odzwierciedlone w dwóch tomach Rozmów o Śląsku Cieszyńskim. Zawierają one wywiady przeprowadzone przez publicystę i historyka Andrzeja Drobika z trzydziestoma pięcioma nieprzeciętnymi postaciami związanymi z owym regionem. Zwracając uwagę na różne elementy miejscowej pamięci kulturowej, prezentują oni odmienne spojrzenia na cieszyńską historię i tożsamość. Wskazywane przez nich aspekty przeszłości odsyłają do społeczności wielokulturowej, w której współistniały dawniej elementy polskie, niemieckie, czeskie, żydowskie itp. W artykule są one analizowane przez pryzmat świadomości historycznej, czyli funkcjonowania i wykorzystywania przekonań na temat przeszłości, w tym tworzenia regionalnej polityki pamięci. W tym kontekście jako szczególnie intrygująca jawi się kwestia zapomnianego i (nie)obecnego, tzn. zaszłości, które wbrew próbom usuwania w cień przypominają o sobie i domagają się uwagi. Mimo zjawiska memory boom także na Śląsku Cieszyńskim wiele kwestii pozostało w zbiorowej niepamięci – np. niemiecki wkład w rozwój Cieszyna czy skomplikowane losy polskiej mniejszości na tzw. Zaolziu. Te i inne problemy autorka rozważa w świetle rzeczonych wywiadów, które jednak niosą ze sobą więcej pytań niż konkluzji, stanowią więc punkt wyjścia do dalszej refleksji.

Zasada antropiczna a dzieje kultury. Między determinizmem, tradycją i przypadkiem

Tradition has stopped being something accepted in the natural way at present, it is inevitably a subject of reflection. In what degree does it still define us? Should we rid ourselves of it, because it is a burden and limitation? In reference to tradition, comprehended today as something eligible and not longer forming fully human fates, the authoress considers the question of determinism as well as accidence. She looks at it from the perspective of hermeneutics, wondering if in Gadamer’s idea the tradition is really predominant and captivating, and also considering the project of Odo Maquard. The philosopher sees the mission of hermeneutics in making changes there, where nothing can be changed, i.e., in our fate, but also in restoring the homeliness of world. The final thought is the reflection on how in the light of those conceptions the religion, understood as human objection against nonsense and accidence, would be located.

This thorough review discusses in detail a book by Artur Hellich Gry z autobiografią: przemilczenia, intelektualizacje, parodie [Playing Games with Autobiography: Concealing, Intellectualizing, Mocking]. Together with Hellich, the author inspects the reasons for distrust of the eponymous genre during the People’s Republic of Poland’s period, and traces the transmutations thereof instigated by the writers. Strategies deployed in selected literary works by K. Brandys, S. Lem, R. Zimand, A. Sandauer, P. Roth, and P. Feyerabend, described as a crypto-autobiography, selfmythologizing, and autothematic picaresque novel. Jewish descent, in the case of majority of mentioned authors, was a factor prompting the titular games with the confessional genre. Aside from giving justice to Hellich’s novel discoveries and compelling interpretations, the review’s author also enters into dialogue with him concerning the understanding of broadly understood autobiographical writing.

This paper aims to comprehensively describe the category of tragic, which is dislodged from the mind of present western world’s human. The authoress analyses that odium’s causes, but first of all, with regard to various thinkers, she tries to bring out the essence of tragic viewpoint, often represented in a simplified way as a synonym of pessimism and martyrdom. In the article problems of the tragic are considered in context of the tragedy as dramatic species, human relation to the fate, characteristics of the tragic hero, the issue of human finiteness, rationalism’s limitations, the matter of transcendence and self-transcendence. Lastly, it is demonstrated that despite the accentuation of individual experience and coping with fate, the tragic viewpoint has the community potential. In conclusion, the openness to “tragic knowledge” is shown as a chance to reinterpret contemporary culture as well as a chance of the integral experience.
