S. Wyspianski's painting 'Dziewczynka przed dzbankiem z kwiatami' (A girl in front of a pitcher with flowers) shows a completely concentrated girl observing a jug standing in front of her on the table. Much in the manner Chardin did in 18th century, the Polish artist intended to create an intimate scene of contemplation of an object. Using a psychological term, a condition of this sort should be named an 'act of attention'. Thus, the child so shown becomes a person having an internal life, a phenomenon mostly neglected at the turn of 20th century, as usually, children tended to be perceived as entirely spiritually dependent beings. The visual juxtaposition of the head and the jar is close to Schopenhauer's text from'Memorabilien, Briefe und Nachlassstücke'. The German thinker compared the human head to a vessel whose content was inaccessible to observers. The girl is watching the jug, touches it gently with her hand, but the thinking processes in her mind remain completely unknown. The painting poses a question of the nature of child and the limits of cognising other human beings.

Proposed paper explores the message of German voluntarist philosophy in the works of Russian modernist writer Leonid Nikolaievich Andreyev. Its subject matter deals with the philosophical system of two leading figures associated with the concept of ‘will’ – Arthur Schopenhauer and Friedrich Nietzsche – as well as the influence of their teaching on Andreyev’s literary writings. The author of the paper analyses the phenomenon of ‘will’ from the perspective of the aforementioned philosophers, examines its significance in terms of human existence and determines its dominant position in relation to reason. The author subsequently confronts the acquired information with selected prosaic and dramatic texts of the Russian writer and identifies parallels between them. The paper concludes with evidence justifying the interrelation between Andreyev’s work and the German system of thought.

Proposed paper focuses on the aspect of German voluntarism and its implications in the prose of Russian modernist writer Leonid Andreyev. The author of the paper explores the main ideas behind the German system of thought in the works of Arthur Schopenhauer and confronts them with Andreyev’s literary writings. The author emphasizes the concept of metaphysical ‘will’ as an underlying principle of voluntaristic philosophy and uses it as a reference point in the analysis of the writer’s prose. The paper attempts to define the purpose of ‘will’ in the life of Andreyev’s characters and to demonstrate its oppressive nature in relation to the notion of human freedom and self-fulfilment.

The author starts with an interpretation of the will in the works of A. Schopenhauer and attempts to deduce the basis of rationality of natural language from the principle of will. It develops the thesis that the basis of natural language rationality lies in the objective-subjective will of language practice, including acquisition, operative and reception practices. First he explains the objective and subjective will, then describes these practices in terms of their objective and subjective will and in the end draws attention to the fact that it is a complex linguistic practice. The author's second thesis is that the will is encoded in the coherence of language practices, which is represented by the relationship between the assimilation base and the reactions realized within language practices. He attributes decisive importance to reception practice, which implies that the existence of property of the sense field “natural language” is a comprehensible existence. This existence is an order of its own that functions as the basis of the rationality of natural language.

The aim of the submitted paper is the naming of some (potential) connotations among Schopenhauer’s model of disinterestedness, draught in his aesthetical and ethical theory and predominantly Toltec teaching of Jaroslav Dušek. Schopenhauer’s concept of art or his explanation of purposeless and non-utilitarian production of the genius corresponds with Dušek’s perception (but even practical realization) of so-called synchronicity that satisfies thematic background of the introductory part. I focus my attention on the common reasoning of the reflections of both thinkers in ethical questions in the second part. I put the context of Toltec compliment and persuasion “You are my other I” (“In Lak’ech”) explained by Dušek into the context with Schopenhauer’s arguments for the elimination of the egoism, thus, with the topic of identity of inner essence of all the living.
