The article describes Stanislaw Ignacy Witkiewicz’s high school finals taken in 1903. Prejudice of Stanislaw Witkiewicz, the father of the later painter, writer, dramatist and philosopher, against the institution of school influenced his decision of not letting his son to school. Young Witkiewicz, however, took his examinations as an extramural. The survived correspondence of father to his son reveals numerous commentaries and remarks about the finals and expressions of concern for the examinee. As based on the found report on school activity in which the examination took place, examination activities register and also pieces of information on the teachers working at this school, and first and foremost the father’s letters to the son, the author of the article attempts at reconstructing the preparations to the examination as well as its course. The text is completed with references to the high school finals in mature S. I. Witkiewicz-Witkacy’s literary and polemic creativity.

Stanislaw Ignacy Witkiewicz, aka Witkacy (1885-1939), was a playwright, painter, novelist, philosopher and photographer, as well as an artist of living. Was he a man of the mountains, too? He spent half of his life living at the foot of the Tatra Mountains, in Zakopane, where his father Stanislaw, being an art critic and painter, promoted, not without success, the artistic potential of the local Gorale culture. Yet Witkacy, the defiant son, rejected his father's ideas. When painting landscapes, he eschewed any regional accents, and in his novel Pozegnanie jesieni (Farewell to Autumn), he brutally ridiculed the folklore. He loved skiing and mountaineering, yet he sneered at professional skiers and alpinists. At the same time, however, as his art and prose testify, he was deeply inspired by the Tatra landscape. It has to be viewed as the projection of subconscious content, both in the sphere of the fundamental conflict with his father (the novels), as in solutions to the practical problems of painting according to his Pure Form theory. This rich and ambivalent complex of emotional attractions and repulsions which has a dramatic existential dimension and is surprising in its artistic originality proves just how thoroughly Witkacy internalised the Tatras. His spontaneous confessions, full of words unknown to the Polish language but very affectionate like the 'chrunie' from the title, make the real mountains part of his personal, or even intimate, mythology.

Boleslaw Prus in his novel Emancipationists (Emancypantki) placed a philosophical lecture on the sense of existence. One of his protagonists, professor Debicki, searching for evidence for the existence of soul, discusses the various views of contemporary sciences and philosophy and against such a background he suggests his own system of ideas in mathematics and physics based on a combination of science and religion. Stanislaw Ignacy Witkiewicz read the novel written by his father’s friend in his youth, and in his philosophical and literary papers he adopted a number of subjects from Debicki’s lecture, especially the problem of “I – not I” expressed through introspection, the issue of the borderline between perception of oneself and perception of the world, and internal and external sensations. The lecture might have attracted Witkacy’s interest also due to thorough philosophical considerations within the framework of the popular novel. He expanded such a strategy of developing philosophy also outside purely scientific field, namely in his own novels and dramas.
