Abstract

This article presents Zygmunt Krasiński as in-depth observer of social phenomena. The poet is trying to find his own place in the contemporary slavophile discourse by participating in it. In this case the answer is his concept of Slavic defined as a culture of the new age and the idea of the return of Slavs to their history. Next to the historio sophical foregoing, Krasiński is also seen as the ambassador of polish reason of state and author of memorials directed to the prominent French politicians in which he reminds of Poland and its rebuilding as a necessary condition to restore the European balance. According to the thesis of Slavic discourse, author of this article is able to conclude that Krasiński’s point of view is closer to the idea of Slav in which Poland handle up a place of protection area against Russia and is the guardian of European values and culture.
