The paper presents an overview of Kraków’s “Życie” (1897–1900) as a journal that featured the most important ideological and philosophical trends of the late nineteenth century. Examination of journalistic texts on cultural, social and political issue, published in the journal especially when Ludwik Szczepanski and Artur Gorski where editors-in-chief, helped to isolate major fields covered in the periodical. These include: (1) bankruptcy of the ideals of the nineteenth century; (2) antinomy of native and universal values as well as values of other cultures; (3) relationship between tradition and modernity; (4) risks associated with the development of mass culture and the dissemination of the philistine worldview; (5) possibilities of overcoming the decadent and artistic worldview. Analysis of journalistic texts devoted to the issues listed above adds to Kraków’s “Życie” being characterised as a journal showing the complexity or even – in a sense – the dialectic nature of Polish modernism.

The article presents the views of Stanislaw Szczepanowski (1845-1900) – a politician, an economist and a publicist – on the Polish XIXth century literature. Szczepanowski was an opponent of aestheticism and of cosmopolitan art. He treated literature instrumentally, seeing in it primarily a tool serving the realization of national goals. He especially valued Romantic Literature, for – in his belief – it guaranteed the continuity of culture and propounded the national ideal which integrated and activated the Polish nation. The foundation of this ideal is implementation of Christian ethical values into the political, social and economic life.
