W obronie „utraconego” logosu
Journal Title: Śląskie Studia Polonistyczne - Year 2014, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
In the review of a book Mesjański logos Europy. Mariana Zdziechowskiego i Stanisława Brzozowskiego dyskursy o kulturze Zachodu (Częstochowa, 2012) by Artur Żywiołek, the author presents the monograph as a dissertation in the trend of post-secular thought. The idea of messianism is crucial here (in connection with essayist works of Marian Zdziechowski), as well as the “messianic” category, used to describe texts by Stanisław Brzozowski. In the case of Brzozowski, “messianism” does not describe an idea stance, but turns out to be a mood of critical thought, aimed at overcoming modernity. The author believes that introducing the messianic category is the monograph’s advantage, but also points to paradoxes in the attitude of Artur Żywiołek, who clearly favored these intellectual pursuits within a widely understood modernity, which revalued the community category, the sense-making logos, and sought a way to metaphysically establish the historical experience. Dans le compte rendu du livre d’Artur Żywiołek, intitulé Mesjański logos Europy. Mariana Zdziechowskiego i Stanisława Brzozowskiego dyskursy o kulturze Zachodu (Częstochowa 2012) [Le logos messianique de l’Europe. Les discours de Marian Zdziechowski et de Stanisław Brzozowski sur la culture de l’Occident], l’auteur décrit la monographie ne question dans les catégories de la réflexion post-séculaire. La notion de messianisme est une référence majeure (liée aux essais de Marian Zdziechowski) et la catégorie de « messianité » qui permet de décrire les textes de Stanisław Brzozowski. En ce qui concerne Brzozowski, la „messianité” ne définit pas la positition idéologique, mais elle être le mode (mood) de réflexion critique visant à surmonter la modernité. L’auteur du compte rendu trouve que l’emploi de la catégorie de « messianité » détermine la valeur de la monographie, mais aussi, il souligne les paradoxes de l’attitude d’Artur Żywiołek qui favorise visiblement ces aspirations intellectuelles dans le contexte de la modernité au sens large du terme. Elles ont revalorisé la catégorie de la communauté et du logos orientant le sens ; elles ont cherché un moyen d’établir, d’une façon métaphysique, l’expérience historique.
