In the essay the author follows Zbigniew Herbert’s path by asking a question: “What is a mystery of Socrates?”. The author wants to present that Zbigniew Herbert in his books took a journey, a spiritual wander, to the Greek roots (beginnings) to the European culture and sources of the European humanity. He distinguishes the difference between ‘root’ (or ‘beginning’) from ‘source’. “The portrait of Socrates” by Herbert reflects the two main dimensions of poet’s creative as well as philosophical aspirations. Socrates represents different reflections on the human condition. He encompasses various – for many philosophers – unpredictable dimensions of human existence. He has ability to rational, intellectual examination of the world as well as tendency to investigate his artistic poetic work and vocation. However, the mystery of Socrates appears to be a source of creative thinking.

A feature of 20th century art was an attempt at reaching the cultural tradition older than Greek-Roman Antiquity. Worth noticing is the artists’ confrontation with the products of paleolithic culture that offers a unique kind of hermeneutic experience since it consists in a journey to the beginnings of the art. Wislawa Szymborska’s and Zbigniew Herbert’s writings contain pieces which recall the most widely known paleolithic culture artifacts: rock paintings and women figurines (Great Mother). Confronting the relics of prehistoric art, the authors tried to return to the most primordial forms of thinking. Szymborska, through her philosophical investigations, reaches the attitude of wisdom, while Herbert, shaping his statements into a prayer, conforms to religious one. Both cases prove that the two Polish poets strived to oppose instrumental reason’s arrogation which reifies a man’s relation to the world.

The author of this paper starts his consideration with the proposition that Zbigniew Herbert’s philosophy of culture is largely reflected in the vision of “the provincial town” presented in his essays. The author of the paper draws attention to three elements the essayist assigns a positive value to in the towns he visits. The first one is an organic relationship between the town and nature. Although the town is built as an expression of a desire to create a “human” world, it also mimics nature (lack of right angles, an “organic” structure of streets, etc.). It is only in this way that space thus created can represent a “natural” human environment. The second element, which the essayist appreciates in the town, is its central plan which is indicated by the presence of the square and the main building (mostly, a sacred one). This plan makes urban space both an orderly and metaphorically sensible area. The third element Herbert attaches importance to is the simultaneous presence of many styles in the town (including its specific structures), which constitute a testimony to its history. The town ought to “grow” slowly. Thus it becomes a testimony to the continuity of culture and a mark of relations linking its particular elements.

Artykuł zawiera analizę roli humoru w eseistyce Zbigniewa Herberta. Autor zauważa, że efekt humorystyczny towarzyszy najczęściej sytuacjom, w których eseista tłumaczy czytelnikowi określone elementy świata, który odwiedza w swych podróżach. Oswajanie tego, co obce i egzotyczne, dokonuje się przez wskazywanie odpowiednika w świecie wspólnym dla czytelnika i bohatera. Ta sama logika rządzi próbami przybliżenia czytelnikowi zjawisk historycznych – to, co odległe i niezrozumiałe, staje się znajome dzięki sugestywnym analogiom. Funkcję, jaką pełni w badanych utworach ironia, autor artykułu wyjaśnia natomiast przez analogię z pojęciem „ironii zdrowej”, jakie zaproponował Kierkegaard. „Ironia zdrowa” jest czymś pośrednim między ironią a humorem. Ironia i humor umożliwiają osiągniecie dystansu do reguł, jakimi rządzą się kultury – dzięki temu pomagają bohaterowi zobaczyć innych w ich wymiarze egzystencjalnym, ludzkim, a dzięki temu obudzić poczucie solidarności z nimi.

A rhetorical model of ekphrasis distinctive of Philostratos' Eikones seems to be inadequate according to the contemporary type of highly metaphorised depictions of paintings present in essays by Zbigniew Herbert, Gustaw Herling-Grudzinski, Joanna Pollakowna, Ewa Kuryluk or Wojciech Karpinski. The traditional goal of enargeia, that assumes developing the visualising description of the represented work of art, in essayistic ekphrasis is replaced by a tendency of creating specific 'energy' of metaphors stimulating reader's imagination in order to transmit the essayist's individual experience of painting. The article contains an analysis of various types of metaphors and underlines an essential role of synaesthesias and other metaphors based on invocation of bodily sensations.

* The present paper is a part of work in progress – a book on genetic criticism entitled Semiografia rękopisu. This text is devoted to avant-texts and their influence on intertextual relations. The avant-text research makes it possible to reveal intertextual relations that significantly complement the previous interpretations of indicidual works. They also help realize the fact that any text once printed remains open, uninhibited and unbound – thanks to the research into its avant-texts, reading perspectives are significantly expanded and allow to pose a lot of significant questions related to the genesis of the text. Intertextual space is not limited only to con-scious, teleological references, because it opens to the field of the unconscious.

* Jest to fragment przygotowywanej w tej chwili przez autora książki z zakresu krytyki genetycznej, a zatytułowanej Semiografia rękopisu. Artykuł poświęcony przed-tekstom i ich wpływowi na re-lacje intertekstualne. Badanie przed-tekstów umożliwia odsłonięcie re lacji intertekstualnych, które w znaczący sposób uzupełniają dotychczasowe interpretacje poszcze-gólnych utworów. Uświadamiają też f akt, ż e tekst raz j uż wydrukowany pozostaje otwarty, nieskrępowany i nieograniczony – dzięki badaniom jego przed-tekstów perspekty-wy lektury ulegają znaczącemu rozszerzeniu i pozwalają postawić wiele znaczących pytań ściśle związanych z ge-nezą tekstu. Przestrzeń intertekstualna nie ogranicza się jedynie do ś wiadomych, teleologicznych referencji, ponie-waż otwiera się na pole nieświadomego.
