Jan Motulko’s poetic oeuvre is characterized by specific themes which the author used repeatedly during his life and which reflected major insights of his lyrical subject. The themes were internalized so deeply that they endured in his work contrary to the social-political changes, and thus became his testimony of the constant resonance of his experience. They became profoundly significant despite the time which passed and memories which faded away. Metaphysical constraints, physical transience, ever-present understanding of the politically determined empirical world and tragic historical events contributed to the poet’s theological-philosophical realization which faced all those aspects of life with a literal and imaginative framework. This realization is based on several simultaneous layers which result in a model (construct) that the poet has used in his collections written after 2000. The model integrates the pessimism of old age which motivated him to initiate a self-questioning process and consider the questions of the plausibility of one’s attitudes in a social and literary context. Even though the issue of physical transience is theologically comprehended and understood, there is some concern, fear and uncertainty which still can be felt. The poet tries to hide them behind the reminiscent glosses of his past (childhood and youth of his native region). The places are connected with the category of home and with his relatives who made those places meaningful.

In the contribution two Plotinus´ treatises are scrutinized in order to unveil the possible self-givens of soul on one side and intellect on the other. Plotinus´ concept of soul borders on the definition of a human being (whose constitution depends on the soul descending into him), while the intellect is divine, non-human. In Plotinus self-givens means self-knowledge, self-reflection or self-awareness. The question is, whether self-knowledge as the highest knowledge is related to the soul, or to the intellect alone. Even though the author outlines what could be regarded as the self-knowledge of soul, he questions the independent existence of this self of soul. Soul is not self-given in knowledge, it is rather self-given by intellect. This, strangely enough, corresponds with M. Henry’s conception of the relationship between the Self (i.e. soul in Plotinus) and Life (i.e. Intellect in Plotinus).

Traditional normative of the neutral style did not prove itself to be the only appropriate critical approach to the obscure style widespread in continental theories. Against the thesis on the self-reference of the text (by which some of the poststructuralists tend to defend the obscure style) the author argues, that it is not 'the text self-irony', but rather 'the author's illusion about his/her importance', that is responsible for the dynamics of the style. The instantiation of this illusion is a 'dogmatic style'. The latter is characterized by an apparent identification of the author with the written text. In conclusion the author tries to answers the following questions: Does 'the dogmatism of writing' apply to all philosophical writing, or even to all literary writing? Is the self-irony or self-reflection of philosophy effective as a tool against such an expanding of dogmatism on the philosophy as a whole?
