The Black Stone of Melancholy—A Whole Lost Once and for All, or Nostalgia for that which Never Really Was?

The subject of my analyses is the concept of melancholy developed by Alicja Kuczyńska. I am interested in the connection between the creative aspect of melancholy— understood as a certain kind of philosophical attitude—and the concept of a whole. Taking a whole to be an “ideal model in the evaluation of the world and of things” gives us an insight into the meaning of being provided by the philosophical attitude of melancholy. Kuczyńska believes the application of this model is connected both with the possibility of harmonising the parts of this whole and with the search for what varies within the same whole. As a result, melancholy comes to the fore as a state of suspension between repetition and originality—an essential requirement for creativity.

With respect to Parmenides’ thought Melissus was regarded as a dissident thinker already in antiquity. His polemical introduction of the concept of void and the relative idea of infinite Being seemed particularly controversial. The aim of the present paper is to examine the origins of the Melissian understanding of void in order to trace its philosophical genesis to the criticism of the Atomist Leucippus. According to the philosopher from Abdera, the Eleatic fundamental principles had to conform to the obviousness of bodies’ motion, which is why the Eleatic not-Being had to be understood as void. Melissus took issue with this view and criticized the idea of the void’s reality by means of a methodical argument. In the course of doing so, the philosopher from Samos distorted the original Parmenidean ontology, which is why his theories were often criticized severely as theoretically weak.

Article is dedicated to examining the most important issues related to the legal invalidity of juristic acts. The article deals mostly with modern Russian Law and the author shows also short background problems of nulls, void and non-existent acts. Then the author analyses the institution of invalidity in Russian Law, types of invalid acts according to the modern Russian Civil Code. In this article an attempt has been made to look for the proper criteria for the differentiation of absolutely invalid acts of law and “actionable” acts according to Russian substantive Civil Law. The text shows the classification of invalid acts of law in the Russian Civil Code and their consequences. The main purpose of the article is to reflect on the questions of how to understand invalidity as a legal construction and how it relates to the “unfinished” acts of law under Russian Law which could be understood as practically non-existent acts of law.

The Epicurean Views on the Human Soul in Lucretius’ De Rerum Natura

Epicurean physics elaborates on a system of universal kinetics as regards the crea-tion of the world. One of the main principles is that there is no genesis without motion. The human being, as all other beings, is the product of the motion of atoms within the cosmic void. Due to a sudden swerve in the motion of some atoms, it can be upheld, according to the Epicureans and Lucretius, that there is no determinism in the universe and the human being is capable of free will. The atomic motions and the swerves also take place in the space of the human soul. Lucretius, in the De Rerum Natura, follows with precision the content of the Epicurean dogmas, and divides the soul into an irra-tional part, which he calls anima, and a rational one, animus, according to the distinc-tion between ψυχή and διάνοια.

Masky touhy : Úvaha ajvazovská

The interpretational study "Masks of Desire" is based on the novel by Michal Ajvaz - Cesta na jih [Journey to the South] although its line of argument takes considerable account of the author´s entire fictional and theoretical output to date, as the connection both between individual fictional texts and between them and the theoretical texts is very close and evident here. First the study casts doubt on the classification of Michal Ajvaz´s work as postmodernist, as this only applies - as in the case of other "labels" (magic Prague literature, magical realism) that have been stuck on Ajvaz´s work - on the basis of superficial similarities. This study does not refute the association with formal principles of discourse that is designated postmodern, but it does stress that Ajvaz´s work departs intellectually from such discourse, while referring at the same time to the author´s repeated polemics with postmodernism at the level of theoretical considerations. Attention is also focused on the concept of the "total void", the intertextual and self-reflective aspect of the author´s work, the relationship to myth or the motif of desire and the specific conception of the erotic.

This article analyses a polysemous term of vanity in Mallarmé ’s idea and œuvre. This concept shows paradoxes of Mallarmé ’s creation: a misunderstood poet accused of being vain who was torn between the dream of glory and the self-devalu-ation. It was in the autoreflexive art par excellence, where Mallarmé saw his satisfac-tion and found the sense of life. After the experience of spiritual crisis and the discov-ery of worthlessness of language, Mallarmé, finding in the Nothingness the resources of poetry, decided to extend the illusion of literature. “Digging into the line”, he built the poetics of vanity which is a synonym of futility or void where the sense of word is replaced by the language sonority. What is more, while fighting against the poetic impotence, Mallarmé, due to writing about Vanitas, immersed into death to create an “ideal tomb” for his late son.

L ’article analyse la notion polysémique de vanité dans la pensée et dans l ’œuvre de Mallarmé. Le concept dévoile les paradoxes de la création mallarméenne : le poète jugé obscur et accusé de vanité, était déchiré entre le rêve de gloire et l ’autodé-valorisation. C ’est dans l ’Art auto-réflexif par excellence qu ’il projetait sa satisfaction d ’artiste et trouvait un sens de la vie. Mais ayant vécu une crise spirituelle et décou-vert la vanité du langage, Mallarmé a choisi de prolonger une illusion de la littérature en trouvant dans le Néant les ressources de sa poésie. À force de « creuser le vers », il construit donc une poétique de la vanité qui reste synonyme d ’inanité ou de vide où le sens des mots est relayé par la sonorité du langage. En plus, tout en luttant contre la stérilité poétique, à travers l ’écriture des Vanités, Mallarmé s ’immerge dans la mort afin de créer un « tombeau idéal » pour son fils disparu.

Antonin Artaud’s « Théâtre de la cruauté » consists in the extreme display of the conflictive nature of the world. The Catalan poet Josep Palau i Fabre highlighted the poetic and negative dimensions of Artaud’s project and insisted on its failure, addressing its impossible objectivation and its similarity with alchemy. The article aims to identify the central elements of Palau’s interpretation, annihilation and debirth, and to assess their inscription in an experimental poetics proposal inspired by alchemy.

This text constitutes an attempt to describe the category of the void, understood as a specific artistic tactic used in European and particularly Polish cultural texts of the 20th and 21st centuries. In the first part (The Void in science and art – philosophical prolegomenon) the author completes a short survey of earlier ways of understanding the void in various areas of thought and scholarship. The second part (the Void as an artistic procedure) presents the author’s proposal for a conceptualization of contemporary manifestations of the category in question, based on an analysis of various works from the realms of the literary and visual arts. The tactic is divided into: concept, intervention and element, allowing for the creation of a new definition of the void. The final part (the Void and related conceptualizations) is devoted to selected theoretical and philosophical contexts relating to the void, but not identical with it, e.g. places of indefinition, negative poetics (keeping) silence, and non-existing texts.
PL
Tekst stanowi próbę opisania kategorii pustki rozumianej jako swoisty chwyt artystyczny obecny w europejskich, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem polskich, tekstach kultury XX i XXI wieku. W części pierwszej (Pustka w nauce i sztuce – prolegomena filozoficzne) autorka dokonuje krótkiego przeglądu wcześniejszych sposobów ujmowania pustki w różnych dziedzinach myśli i nauki. Druga część (Pustka jako zabieg artystyczny) to autorska propozycja konceptualizacji współczesnych realizacji omawianej kategorii, dokonana na podstawie analizy różnorodnych dzieł z przestrzeni sztuki wizualnej i literatury. Podział tego chwytu na: koncept, ingerencję oraz element pozwolił na stworzenie oryginalnej definicji pustki. Ostatnia część (Pustka a pokrewne konceptualizacje) poświęcona jest wybranym kontekstom teoretycznym i filozoficznym bliskim pustce, lecz nietożsamym z nią, mowa między innymi o miejscach niedookreślenia, poetyce negatywnej, (prze)milczeniu czy tekstach nieistniejących.

The article contains an analysis of two philosophical concepts of trace and the blink of an eye. Referring to philosophy (by Derrida, Husserl, Harman, Heidegger, Ricoeur and Tylor), the author interprets the theme terms, confronting them against the thought within the theory of literature. The purpose is not, however, the indicated values as such, but their interpretative force, aimed at literary works. Texts by Calvin, Jasieński, Macsovszky, Schulz and Tabucchi are read with certain phenomena in mind (the blink of an eye, trace, epiphany and void), and the conclusion emphasises the value of paradoxical thinking.
PL
Artykuł dokonuje analizy dwóch kategorii filozoficznych: śladu i okamgnienia. Odwołując się do filozofii (J. Derridy, E. Husserla, G. Harmana, M. Heideggera, P. Ricouera i Ch. Tylora) autor interpretuje tytułowe pojęcia, zderzając je z myślą teoretycznoliteracką. Celem nie są jednak wskazane jakości same w sobie, lecz ich moc interpretacyjna skierowana na utwory literackie. Lekturze (związanej z okamgnieniością i śladem, epifanią oraz pustką) zostały poddane teksty I. Calvina, B. Jasieńskiego, P. Macsovszky’ego, B. Schulza i A. Tabucchiego. W konkluzji zostaje podkreślona wartość myślenia paradoksalnego.
