Abstracts

EN

The article compares the historiosophies of Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz and Teilhard de Chardin. It starts from noting that the visions of history in both systems are total, which means they are determined by objective laws. Next, the similarities between the systems are indicated, which reveals that in both cases they lead to the belief in a mechanized society at the end of history. The second part of the article points out the significant differences in the objective laws and in the anthropological beliefs of both authors. The conclusion is that the difference in their views on the future of humanity is determined by a combination of their shared ethical belief in the superiority of the spiritual over the physical and their divergent beliefs regarding anthropology.
