The object of the author’s reflection is the status of the empathy category as an interdisciplinary research category and its relation to the experience issue. It is the problem that is particularly emphasized in the literary discourse, for which an indispensable context is cultural and anthropological discourse, the synthesis of which determines the transdisciplinary nature of research in the category of experience and empathy. The sketch is a cross-section of the most important thoughts that shape the postmodern reflection on these areas. First of all, the ways of the assumption applying of research on empathy - based on the ethical return - in Polish language education- was subjected to the consideration. The last part of this paper was devoted to the presentation of possible activities related to the reading of The Witcher Andrzej Sapkowski at Polish language lessons, striving to problematize the problem of the experience of otherness, and therefore the mechanisms of expanding the receiving empathic sensitivity.
