Abstracts

EN

The author identifies two main lines in the European history of ideas since Antiquity: Platonism and Pyrrhonism (scepticism). He employs these philosophical categories in the widest sense of the word – they should be understood as distinct “worldviews”. The paper tries to establish the significance of these intellectual attitudes for romantic poetry. It turns out that romantic poets usually do not identify themselves completely with one worldview only.
