The article indicates how the mountainous space is articulated in Cosmos in its “logical-underground” manner. The gradual occurrence of random improbabilities permeates the novel. In addition, the book reveals marked differences in how tangible matter is represented in its first part (the guest house events) and in its description of the Tatras. Eventually, the journey of the living protagonists ends under the mass of inanimate matter, thus obliterating the cohesion of human and animal world, and even of corporeality as such. This is how the human polarity – the improbable – demonstrates itself and how it multiplies indefinitely.

In the twentieth century, a number of research activities were undertaken, the purpose of which was to find evidence, indicating the existence of life in space. These activities can also be the subject of theological reflection. The field of this reflection is filled with two trends of thought. The first one is purely hypothetical, since the evidence for the existence of life has not been discovered yet. The second area of reflection is more real and focuses, for example, on the sense of searching for other civilizations, whether human existence is something special in the universe, or is it a longing for a different, higher form of civilization is it not an expression of the eternal longing for perfection and for immortal life?

W XX wieku podjęto wiele działań badawczych, których celem było znalezienie dowodów wskazujących na istnienie życia w kosmosie. Działania te mogą być także przedmiotem refleksji teologii. Pole tej refleksji wypełniają dwa nurty myślenia. Pierwsze jest czysto hipotetyczne, jako że dowodów na istnienie życia dotąd nie odkryto. Druga przestrzeń refleksji jest bardziej realna i koncentruje się np. na sensie poszukiwania innych cywilizacji: czy ludzkie istnienie jest czymś wyjątkowym we wszechświecie, czy tęsknota na inną, wyższą formą cywilizacji nie jest wyrazem odwiecznej tęsknoty za doskonałością i pragnieniem życia nieśmiertelnego?

Rozprawa stanowi analizę utworu z 1925 roku poprzez pryzmat koncepcji filozoficznych Camille’a Flammariona, w szczególności zaś teorii przedstawionych na kartach romansu astronomicznego „Urania”. Autor artykułu analizuje również status ontologiczny bohatera, dochodząc do wniosku, że rozmarzony Świda reprezentuje podmiotowość „słabą”, odsyłającą do światopoglądu i praktyk okresu Młodej Polski. W artykule poruszono także kwestię masochizmu jako paradygmatu cechującego najważniejsze relacje damsko-męskie w powieści, któremu zostaje przeciwstawiona idealizowana przez protagonistę Urania, będąca symbolem Flammarionowskiej utopii kosmicznej i wyrazem tęsknoty za utraconym, projektowanym przez dziewiętnastowieczność ładem.

The study is an analysis of the 1925 work through the prism of Camille Flammarion’s philosophical conceptions, especially the theories contained in his astronomical romance “Uranie” (“Urania”). The author of the article also examines the protagonist’s ontological status, and arrives at the conclusion that the dreaming Świda represents the “weak” subjectivity which refers to Young Poland’s worldview and practice. The paper also touches the issue of masochism as the paradigm that characterises the most seminal female-male relationships in the novel. This relationship is set contrasted with Urania, idealised by the protagonist, a symbol of Flammarion’s cosmic utopia and an expression of yearning for the order projected by the 19th century.

The article is devoted to the conceptual category “world”, which plays an important role in the philosophy of Martin Buber and is also an essential element of the concept of education. The role of this category is evidenced by the statements contained in the speech “What is educational” [Uber das Erzieherische]: the world “begets the person in the individual”, “educates man”. These statements are explained by the presentation of Buber’s concept of the duality of the world as “Ono world” [Eswelt] and “Ty world” [Duwelt]. The question of how to overcome the crisis of the contemporary world caused by the dominance of the deterministic, monological, objectifying “Ono world” over the world of authentic interpersonal relations, that is, the “You world”, was identified as the critical problem of the philosophy under consideration. In his fundamental work “Me and You”, the author argues that overcoming this crisis depends on a certain kind of transfer of God’s presence into people’s daily lives, which anyone can experience in a direct relationship with Him (“absolute relationship”, “pure relationship”). According to the author, the intensification and concentration of the moments of relations in the matter of human life will bring about a gradual transformation of all spheres of the world: the sphere of life with nature will become the Cosmos (a reality in which a meaningful, i.e. divine order will prevail), the sphere of interpersonal relations will become Eros (reality, in which the order of love will reign), and the sphere of the spirit will become the Logos (a reality in which relational events will impregnate creative thought). The deepening of the philosophical conception of the world leads to the conclusion that Buber, speaking of the world that “educates man”, means the world understood as Cosmos, Eros and Logos. The educator should focus on such a world and present it to the pupil in an educational relationship.
