Humanistyka jako poznanie, postawa i los. Ostatni wykład Profesor Haliny Krukowskiej o Widzeniu Adama Mickiewicza

Abstract

This article is dedicated to the outstanding scholar of Polish Romantic literature, Professor Halina Krukowska (1937–2019), honorary doctor of the University of Bialystok. Among other things, she is the author of the fundamental monograph Romantic Night (Mickiewicz, Malczewski, Goszczyński). Interpretations (1st edition: Bialystok 1985, 2nd edition: Gdansk 2011). The author, a student of Professor Krukowska, writes about the last text she wrote at the end of her life. It was devoted first to two poems by Adam Mickiewicz: “By the Great and Pure Water” and “The Vision,” and, after the topic evolved, also “The Roman Triptych” by John Paul II. The central category in all these works is the category of transparency, understood ontologi cally and epistemologically.
