Kulturowy status twórcy – genialność czy szaleństwo. Rzecz o transgresji

These remarks aim at showing the intellectual supremacy of an outstanding individual over those mediocre. Transgression is understood as a form of passage, of the change of an artist who negates the current world order and desires to lay the foundations for new reality, seen by a mad genius – Friedrich Nietzsche, whom I often recall. His concept of “Overman” is identical with concept of a genius creator, of outstanding individual who is not understood by common people and who with his creative imagination outgrows his own epoch.
