Abstracts

The text presents a response to Gołosz’s critique of my reconstruction of the absolutism/relationism debate, set out in the article Trwanie w czasie (Persistence through Time). I specify the objections I agree with and those about which I remain sceptical. I suggest that the main source of the controversy between Gołosz and me is, on the one hand, the traditional and somewhat schematic way of presentaion – on my part – of the positions in the dispute (dictated in part by the subject matter of the discussed article), and on the other hand, a persistent lack of a suitable, exhaustive analysis of the notion of ontological dependence which lies at the heart of the debate.
