Polska tożsamość i dziedzictwo anarchii w poglądach Józefa Szujskiego

• Authors: Henryk Słoczyński

EN

The article discusses Józef Szujski’s concept of Polish history and its accent on the politics of his time. Its rhetoric about sins of the past and the need for their expiation was not trivial religious moralism; rather, it expressed the postulate of recognising the harmful components of heritage and of choosing a positive tradition. His concept of Polish history, widely accused of pessimism, did not imply a radical questioning of Polish national identity; he considered anarchic attitudes not as a nucleus of national identity, but as a relatively late result of the pernicious forms of the system.
