Journal Title: Wiek XIX. Rocznik Towarzystwa Literackiego im. Adama Mickiewicza - Year 2014, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
A Dog’s Perspective, a Donkey’s Autobiography and a Cuckoo’s Ethos. Comments on Adolf Dygasiński’s Writings Acknowledged as the “inventor of animal psychologism” (an expression by J.E. Płomieński) nowadays, Adolf Dygasiński is a writer, who is not appreciated enough. The phenomenon of his writings has not been explained by the analysis referring to the study of the influence of Ch. Darwin and J.J. Virey (natural scientists, who in their scientific descriptions applied strategies of animal personification based on emotional narratives) or A. Schopenhauer (who claimed that animals were aware of their own “I” contrary to the world, i.e. to “not I”). A “pleasant” insight into nature, which is peculiar to Dygasiński’s works, inspires interpretations in the spirit of the philosophically-oriented ecoaesthetics.
