The author distinguishes two attitudes toward the world: (1) the attitude of an action which involves engagement, care, values, and interests; (2) the attitude of a distanced observer (i.e. the theoretical-contemplative one). The paper assumes that the attitude of action precedes historically the attitude of observer. The latter has been born in ancient Greece of classical period due to the Platonic philosophy and the overcoming of magic-mythical thought. Since then, although they have changed and developed, both perspectives have been widely present in European culture and therefore should be considered to be a part of European cultural heritage. It is said that European modernism guarantees a coexistence of both attitudes. A modern European, thus, is able to act intentionally as well as to observe his own action from a distance. Modernism implies also an axiological priority of theoretical perspective (identified with the Kantian ‘universal reason’) over the perspective of action which is not free from prejudice. In comparison with earlier periods of European culture, the theoretical-contemplative perspective of Modernism is defined in terms of perception and sensual experience and their further reinterpretations.

The paper presents connections between the philosophy of culture of Stanislaw Witkiewicz (Witkacy) and the thinking of Artur Schopenhauer. They show that the interests of young Witkacy in the philosophy of Schopenhauer left clear footprints in his literary output. They can be witnessed by similar views on being, the origins of culture (philosophy, religion, arts), conceptions and anthropology.

The author confronts the reader with a fundamental methodological dilemma of the humanities, which can be formulated as the following question: Should we speak about the philosophy of culture, or rather about cultural philosophy? The author attempts to explain this problem against the background of the modern situation of globalization. The second part of the paper deals with the opposition of culture and nature. In the two last parts of the paper, the author works to present the phenomenological genealogy of culture, in which an important role is played by the notion of the 'stranger'.

The article concerns Andrzej Nowicki's concept of the philosophy of culture and behavior. The author brings up questions of 'ascension into creation', a specific activity of a recipient, who brings his own references and meanings, the Dialog, which creates new qualities, and the Meeting, an active participation of a teacher and his student in a shared discourse of thought.

This article analyses the directions taken by the development of interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary knowledge on image. In the American version, the issues of image are 'merged' in a broader context of visual culture, with the related studies focusing on a critical analysis of our contemporary, new-media manifestations of pictoriality/imagery. The German current highlights, in turn, a historical continuity of iconic issues and their anthropological basis, which may be seen as related to Ernst Cassirer's tradition of philosophy of culture and cultural studies carried out in the Warburg Library circle. Given this general context, the issues dwelled upon as part of Visual Studies gain a deeper historical basis whilst also becoming a constituent of trans-disciplinary research.

The author’s focus is on the comparison of two phenomenologists, one of them being the founding father of phenomenology and another French phenomenologist of the second generation. The key issue of the comparison is the constitution of the cultural world implying the confrontation with human sciences. This is something tried already by Husserl, who was influenced in his endeavour by Dilthey (the evidence of it is one of the last volumes of Huserliana (No XXXIX). Ricœur’s hermeneutics of culture also aimed at a dialogue with humanities, although for him this “Diltheyan turn” remained unnoticed: the above mentioned volume of Husserliana has not been at his disposal when he was opening the phenomenology to humanities.

In this paper the author traced the origins of studies in culture (in Polish: kulturoznawstwo). The first part deals with the philosophical tradition out of which several philosophies of culture had emerged, esp. within German philosophy at the beginning of the 20th century. The second part is dedicated to the tradition of British cultural studies which has influenced considerably today’s reflection on culture. Finally, the third part points at the Polish sociology of culture of the last century. A special emphasis was put on the work of Józef Chałasiński who tried to work out a “science of culture in its totality”. His “American culture” from 1962 can be seen as a project of cultural studies in today’s sense of the word. In conclusion the author tries to relate all three sources of studies in culture to the theory of Jerzy Kmita, a founder of studies in culture developed at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań.
