STANISLAW PRZYBYSZEWSKI AND THE SELECTED ASPECTS OF SLOWACKIS GENESIS PHILOSOPHY

The article is an attempt at a synthetic presentation of Stanislaw Przybyszewski's philosophical views in the perspective of their relations to Juliusz Slowacki's Genesis system. The subsequent parts of the paper, devoted to ontological, epistemological, and ethical issues, show not only analogies, but also differences between the theories in question. On the one hand, Przybyszewski's thought is regarded as a distinctive exemplum that confirms a living romantic tradition in the Young Poland literature and, on the other hand, as a testimony of the intellectual strives of a writer against a fatalistic heritage of materialistic doctrines of the Positivism.
