The text is an analysis of the introductory verses of The Divine Comedy by Dante. It has two main points of reference: The Banquet, which contains the kernels of the main ideas developed in Dante’s main work; and The Consolation of Philosophy by Boethius, which was undoubtedly Dante’s philosophical inspiration. The analysis aims at showing the complexity of Dante’s writing and its philosophical sources. Thus it also constitutes an introduction to reading The Divine Comedy.

Journey emerges in multiple faces in literature. But when this substantial subset of quests adopts the mystical aspect, it creates a mystery that triggers the discovery sense in human beings. The present article develops a comparative analysis on the complex nature of mystical metamorphosis as expressed in two of the most influential writings of the East and West: Rumi’s Masnavi and Dante’s Divine Comedy. The first part discusses the concept of mysticism and poetry, and reveals the nature of their connection. The second part of this work investigates the historical setting of Dante’s and Rumi’s lives in relation to the social environment of the time. The last part emphasizes the idea of mystical metamorphosis as expressed in the Divine Comedy and Masnavi through two fundamental vehicles: love and faith. This work demonstrates how, in a world rife with wars and misery, mysticism provides a vital key to building a strong bridge between Islam and Christianity, and on a larger scale, to metamorphosizing the “clash of civilizations” into a “confluence of civilizations”.

The eight-hundredth anniversary of the Great Poet's death is the occasion of this study, which presents the souls of the twelve scholars immortalised by Dante in the fourth heaven. Approaching such personalities, we note the diverse cultural forms that have marked history and continue to illuminate it with the wisdom of their works. From this insight springs a hymn in honour of the culture that also shines brightly in Dante's poetry.

PL

Osiemsetna rocznica śmierci Wielkiego Poety leży u początków tego studium, które przedstawia dusze dwunastu uczonych uwiecznionych przez Dantego w czwartym niebie. Zbliżając się do takich osobistości, zauważamy różnorodne formy kultury, które naznaczyły historię i nadal rozświetlają ją mądrością ich dzieł. Z tego spostrzeżenia wypływa hymn na cześć kultury, która jaśnieje również w poezji Dantego.

Through the hermeneutic-symbolic study of the Dantean figures of Virgil, the witches Manto and Erichto, and the mysterious woman loved by St. Francis, we reflect on the sense of magic and thaumaturgy in the Divine Comedy, presenting a new theological interpretation of the secret doctrine of "Inferno" IX. Virgil is shown in Dante’s poem as the great Roman poet and as the magician of the Neapolitan folkloric traditions of the Middle Ages; he is celebrated but also ridiculed for his limitations. The Christian world, in fact, transcends the pagan idea of magic being Nature’s proud minister, to advance a more complex thaumaturgic concept that indicates a miraculous event belonging not only to man but to the divine that is fused into the human dimension. Along these lines, the most essential characteristics and differences of Virgil the Magician’s two infernal journeys in the Divine Comedy are analysed in detail: first, the one that is determined by the spells of Erichto, Lucan’s witch, and which is therefore the work of ancient pagan black magic; second, the one that is Christianly predisposed by angelic inspiration, that is, by Beatrice, who is the symbol of a newer “celestial magic,” which is, in turn, a special thaumaturgic power indicated by the paradisiac episode of St. Francis and his wife.

IT

Attraverso uno studio ermeneutico-simbolico delle figure dantesche di Virgilio, delle streghe Manto ed Erichto e della sposa di San Francesco si riflette sul senso del magico e del taumaturgico nella "Divina Commedia", proponendo una nuova interpretazione teologica della segreta “dottrina” a cui si allude nel canto IX infernale. Virgilio viene mostrato nel poema dantesco come il grande poeta latino e come il mago delle tradizioni folkloriche napoletane del Medioevo: così è celebrato ma anche ridicolizzato per i suoi limiti. Il mondo cristiano, infatti, trascende l’idea pagana della magia che è la signora orgogliosa della natura, per avanzare un “concetto magico” molto più vasto e complesso, evento non più soltanto dell’uomo ma del divino che è fuso e integrato nell’uomo. Su questa linea, si analizzano nei dettagli le più essenziali caratteristiche e differenze dei due viaggi infernali del mago Virgilio nella Divina Commedia: quello che è determinato dagli scongiuri di Erichto, la strega, ed è dunque opera di magia nera pagana antica, e quello che è predisposto cristianamente dall’ispiratrice angelicata, cioè da Beatrice che è simbolo della bellezza foriera di una “magia celestiale” più nuova, cioè una forma di taumaturgia indicata dalla figura paradisiaca di San Francesco e dalla sua sposa.

The article deals with the Russian novel of the 19th century in its top, classical patterns as a special typological branch of the novel genre, fundamentally different from European models. The author of the article proposes to look for the specifics of the Russian novel in his goal, which lies not so much in the field of the novel strategy of hero’s “education” (Bildungsroman) or in his “career” field, but rather in the problem of “the rehabilitation of a deceased man” (Dostoevsky) or turning the “old” man into the “new” one (Goncharov), i.e. related to the issue of soul salvation. Since the “plot space” (Lotman) of the Russian novel is associated with a mythological, essentially infinite situation, the problem of the end, or death, is not significant, and death itself is fraught with a new life. In the European novel, which is dominated by a fairy tale and a happy (or unlucky — as a variant) end, the question is not worth it, and the hero travels without eschatological questions. The hero of the Russian novel is aiming for the work of salvation, for this he lives his earthly life. The Russian novel following European discoveries in the field of this genre аs an artistic pattern but mostly was addressed to non-novel sources. The article assumes that the “plot of salvation” in the Russian classic novel went back to three lines of development. To the Cervantes type of novel itself, when the hero-savior came to the world (he easily became the killer). This model was least in demand and was embodied in the Idiot of Dostoevsky and partly in Goncharov’s Oblomov. The second line led to Dante’s Divine Comedy, with its idea of redemption and repentance of man in half of his earthly life and with the invaluable help of Earthly Wisdom (the Virgil motif) and Heavenly Wisdom (the Beatrice motif). The indicated model was relevant for Pushkin’s Eugene Onegin, Gogol’s Dead Souls, and especially for Goncharov’s novels. The third line — the most demanded — went back to Goethe’s Faust and to the idea of saving everybody and everything, even those who did not seem to deserve it. The plot was organized around the hero of the Faustian type and his search for the fullness of being, primarily through Beauty. This model is relevant for most of the Russian classic novels, but above all for works in this genre of Lermontov, Turgenev, Dostoevsky and in part for Tolstoy.

PL

W artykule omówiona została powieść rosyjska XIX wieku w swoich najdoskonalszych klasycznych wzorcach jako szczególne odgałęzienie gatunku powieści, zasadniczo różniące się od modeli europejskich. Według autora opracowania specyfika rosyjskiej powieści wynika z jej nadrzędnego celu, który polega nie tyle na powieściowej strategii „wychowania” człowieka czy też w kształtowaniu jego „kariery”, ile na sproblematyzowaniu „odtworzenia człowieka, który zginął” (Dostojewski) bądź przekształceniu „starego” w „nowego” (Gonczarow), czyli związana jest z problemem zbawienia duszy. Ponieważ „przestrzeń fabuły” (Łotman) powieści rosyjskiej wiąże się z mitologiczną, nieskończoną z założenia sytuacją, problem końca czy śmierci jest nieistotny, a sama śmierć zakłada pojawienie się nowego życia. W powieści europejskiej, zadowalającej się bajką i szczęśliwym (bądź nieszczęśliwym — jako wariant) zakończeniem, taki problem się nie pojawia, a bohater przechodzi drogę życia bez wnikania w problemy eschatologiczne. Bohater powieści rosyjskiej za cel obiera zbawienie i jemu poświęca swoją ziemską egzystencję. Powieść rosyjska, naśladując europejskie osiągnięcia w dziedzinie tego gatunku, wzorowała się w znacznym stopniu na źródłach niepowieściowych. W artykule postawiono tezę, że „fabuła zbawienia” w rosyjskiej powieści klasycznej wywodzi się z trzech źródeł. Pierwszym jest powieść typu cervantesowskiego, w której na świecie pojawia się bohater-zbawca (ten sam bohater mógł stać się oprawcą). Model ten był najrzadziej stosowany, a przykład może stanowić Idiota Dostojewskiego i częściowo Obłomow Gonczarowa. Drugie źródło to Boska komedia Dantego z jej ideą odkupienia i żalu za grzechy w połowie życia bohatera, w ziemskim systemie wartości i z nieocenioną pomocą Mądrości Ziemskiej (motyw Wergiliusza) i Mądrości Niebiańskiej (motyw Beatrycze). Na modelu tym oparte zostały: Eugeniusz Oniegin Puszkina, Martwe dusze Gogola i w szczególności powieści Gonczarowa. Trzecie źródło tradycji, do której nawiązywano najczęściej, to Faust Goethego i idea zbawienia wszystkich, nawet jak by się wydawało niezasługujących na to. Fabuła budowana była wokół bohatera typu faustowskiego i jego poszukiwania pełni bytu, przede wszystkim dzięki Pięknu. Ten model jest charakterystyczny dla większości rosyjskich powieści klasycznych, ale głównie dla utworów w tym gatunku autorstwa Lermontowa, Turgieniewa, Dostojewskiego i w pewnym stopniu Lwa Tołstoja.

Numa Łepkowski i historia nieznanej dedykacji Norwida

In 2010 in the blog nonsolusblog.wordpress.com information appeared about finding in the collection of the Illinois University Library a copy of the Italian edition of Dante's Divine Comedy that had belonged to Cyprian Norwid. Probably Norwid had this copy in the Berlin prison, and on the basis of it he translated fragments of the Italian masterpiece. On the title page, beside the poet's signature, there is the inscription “Florencja 1846” (Florence 1846). The date is a riddle, as in the light of the present knowledge it does not seem likely that Norwid could be in Italy in that year The dedication in the book (“To N. Łepkowski in remembrance of 1854 in America) has made it possible to establish that its addressee, Numa Łepkowski, was born in Volhynia about 1805, he studied at the Warsaw University, and then he fought in the November Uprising. Together with a large group of Polish veterans (234 people) he was deported to the United States, among others with August Antoni Jakubowski. Until his death (28 May 1887) Łepkowski made his living by playing the guitar: he composed music, gave concerts, but first of all he taught playing this instrument in the most famous New York homes. He was also active in organizations of the Polish community in America, and he took part in the social life of the New York elites. It was probably because of his high social status and extensive relations that Norwid met him. The death of the composer and his rank as a musician was noted in obituaries in several American, and even New Zealand newspapers Under Norwid's signature on the title page of the book there is an imprint of a signet-ring, in which elements of the Topór coat of arms, the poet's family sign, can be recognized. This is an additional premise that allows deciding that the book belonged to the poet's library.

Finding a Reasonable Foundation for Peace

Can world peace come about through a world federation of governments? Is growing agreement and appreciation for, throughout the world, the doctrine of equal human rights inevitable? Such questions are raised by Mortimer Adler in How to Think about War and Peace. Adler argues in this book that both are possible, and in doing so he argues that the insights of liberal contract thinkers, particularly Immanuel Kant, are essentially true. Kant argues that each person has the capacity to discover within himself the foundation for human rights because they are self-evident. It follows that over time inequalities and prejudices will disappear, and people will gain the freedom to advance the cause of peace. About this account of the possibility of world peace I ask the question: is it indeed reasonable? For if it is reasonable, it is not reasonable for the reasons that would have been advanced by Aristotle or Plato or their medieval followers. In older political philosophy it is agreement about the unchanging truth of things that can bring peace. To seek the unchanging truth of things, philosophical speculation about God and things divine, is the highest human activity. It is that end to which life in this world is directed, and upon which human flourishing depends. Freedom depends upon our openness to unchanging eternal truth, even more than self-evident rights; the exercise of speculative reasoning allows for political discourse and an open society.
