THE HOME IN THE INTELLECTUAL LANDSCAPE OF THE TWENTIETH/TWENTY FIRST CENTURY. FROM PHILOSOPHY TOWARDS ACTIVISM (Dom w intelektualnym krajobrazie XX/XXI wieku od filozofii ku aktywizmowi)

This statement is composed of three parts, with the first introducing the conceit of the relational space that appears between traditional opposites, such as: private space - public space. In relational space the home remains a real place, but its location becomes mobile. Between enrootment and mobility there comes into being a thick network of connections, transitory and hybrid forms. In the second part the Aristotelian conception of the 'good life' is interpreted as an element of the realisation of the modern promesse de bonheur, assuming the form of assorted cultures of dwelling. The last part discusses three vectors of relational space in which we may place - in different forms - modern cultures of residence. Their foundations are composed of: 1. The philosophy of enrootment, 2. The philosophy of the language, 3. The philosophy of activity. Each also possesses its negative version, in which the prime categories are re-deciphered, re-interpreted, deconstructed and, finally, rejected.
