The paper reconstructs the photography aesthetic conceptions found in the texts by two writers, namely Boleslaw Prus and Ryszard Kapuscinski. The former sets the problem of the picture within the scope of basic values, i.e. Usefulness, Perfection, and Happiness. In the first aspect, a picture - due to its faithfulness and credibility - is fully appreciated. In the second aspect, connected with the problem of aesthetic value, Prus expresses the opinion that a picture is not a match to a painting but due to technical development these two could be made equal in the future. In the last aspect, the writer consistently maintains that a picture can neither substitute contact with a person nor remove the experience of elapsing time. In the latter writer's reflection, the issue in question is refreshed and the picture gains a metaphorical status. As a result, there appears not only development of cognition but also confirmation and purification of reality.

This article explores the question of influence of Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772), a recondite theologian and philosopher whose writings continued to attract attention well into the nineteenth century, on the worldview and fiction of Boleslaw Prus (1845-1912). We know that he had Swedenborg's magnum opus 'On Heaven and Hell' (1758) in his library; its influence can be traced beyond any doubt in his short story 'The Dream' (1890) and the novel 'The Emancipationists' (1894). Also his unpublished philosophical and aesthetic notes, especially from the period 1900-1912, betray a perceptible influence of Swedenborgian ideas. Prus's reflections, which he wrote down systematically for a very long time, address some of the key metaphysical issues, ie. the psychic and physiological aspects of man's nature, the question of universal patterns of correspondence and the related idea of man as microcosm (homo maximus).

(Titlw in Polish - 'Jaka epistema? O metodzie, kryteriach i przeslankach filozoficznych krytyki literackiej wielkiej 'trójcy powiesciopisarzy' okresu pozytywizmu'). The article is devoted to a reconstruction of the literary critical method as seen in the Polish Positivism writers. An attempt was made to characterize the method from the point of view of its relationships with the philosophical context of the epoch. Analyzing the critical papers by Prus, Orzeszkowa, Sienkiewicz, and others, the author tries to reconstruct the epistemic basis which shaped the positivist literary critical discourse. The discourse in question reveals certain assumptions (centered around the category of 'realism' and its connotations) of metaphysical and epistemological nature, and also referred to a number of procedures used in natural sciences. Positivists called for e.g. application of an objective method of literary text analysis; they also explained phenomena with the help of casual connections, tried to search for general laws, attempted to asses the reality present in a literary work through the prism of its links with the truth of reality verified in intersubjective experience, and made up a specific mode of subjectivity.

This article analyses Boleslaw Prus' and Stefan Zeromski's understanding of Providence's Temple. The authoress tried to show how Prus and the contemporaries joined this idea with the Polish independence tradition. However, at the beginning of the XX century, the temple's project of Stefan Zeromski united ethics and aeshetics as well because of the modern style's investigations in Poland. These two projects came up to the national and social expectations and rationalized the continuity of history.

This is a comparative analysis of two short stories by Boleslaw Prus, 'Antek' and 'The Sins of Childhood'. The principal aim of the argument is to demonstrate that the publication of the latter story marks a watershed in Prus' writing. The novelty of 'The Sins of Childhood' is indicated by both the changes in the way the writer creates his main character and handles his social environment and a shift in Prus' approach to literary fiction. Whereas 'Antek' remains alienated and autonomous, the main character of the other story is given to mimicking his peers and, to an even greater extent, the adults. On the level of social behaviour, 'Antek' shows the expulsion of the title character, an action which goes on unopposed, while 'The Sins of Childhood' demystify unjustified persecution.
