The author describes a mode of sensibility called ‘Camp’. She concentrates on the most characteristic features of it, especially on the ambivalence of any assessments, specific playful type of seriousness, theatricalization, artificiality, superior role of inverted commas and emphasis. While analyzing connections between Camp and homosexual subculture, the author stresses the role of the artists’ deepened self-consciousness and their deceitful distance towards their own works of art. Those features are especially noticeable in their playing with the conventions and with the principles of good taste. While describing the presence of Camp in the Polish literature, the author emphasises the roles of relativity, both aesthetical and moral. The elements of Camp are distinguished in the ‘banalistic’ literature and in the prose of Grzegorz Musiał, but the main part of the text is devoted to the prose of Michał Witkowski, in which we can find an intriguing combination of the sublimity and mockery, gloss and trumpery, spirituality and hedonism. Those features, inseparably connected with the stylistic of Camp, are constantly present in the prose of Witkowski. It makes him the most important representative of the discussed mode of sensibility in Poland.

The essay critically approaches the current state and directions of changes in the university education. We see the critical point in the unconditioned endorsement by the university of the market values of intense competitiveness of global economy and the cult of the pro-market education which is its inevitable result. We would like to argue that although the university must respect economic conditions and limitations, nevertheless we fear that the ongoing process of corporatization of the university with its management strategies such as cutting costs, scanning environments for competitive purposes, re-engineering highly competitive efficiency criteria for the staff will bring about a neglect of the humanist values rooted in intellectual and social sensibility and hence undermine the social mission of the university which, apart from professional skills and research, must cultivate intellectual pluralism by providing space for intelligent conversation, sharing critical views of the present state of things thus fostering social criticism and the spirit of responsible dissent.

The paper offers a contribution to the contemporary discussion on the hiddenness argument as it was formulated by J.L. Schellenberg. Starting from the famous statement of John of the Cross on the ultimate Word of God, it focuses on the Book of Revelation as somehow the very incarnation of such a word. Two rival interpretations of the chosen book are examined and confronted: one by D.H. Lawrence, and the other inspired by some selected writings of Silouan the Athonite. The former represents rather a critical and deconstructionist endeavour even if it is not totally deprived of a positive meaning (the forgotten vitality of the apocalyptic symbols). The latter suggests another hermeneutical possibility: the constructive and recapitulative one. This interpretation inspired by the exceptional hesychastic experience opens a practical orientation in reading of the Revelation and may be translated into more aesthetical terms. The perspective thus privileged to renew the senses seems to confirm backwardly the recapitulative reading following the hesychastic inspiration.

The main goal of the study is to show the novelty of Cabanis’s project. As a scientist, doctor and philosopher, the author of Rapports du physique et du moral de l’homme attempts to find a new science called anthropology, based mostly on physiology. There is also a discussion of how sensations are transformed (“translated”) into signs and ideas. In his dream of progress of human society, Cabanis has to navigate between the organic conception of the human being and vitalism, which can be seen as a critical approach to any scientific reductionism.

The article is concerned with quite forgotten character and work of PierreJean Georges Cabanis, a physician and philosopher, but also a strongsupporter of the French Revolution from the turn of the 18th and 19thcenturies. His main scientific opus was the dissertation On the relationsbetween the physical and moral aspects of man (Rapports du physique et dumoral de l’homme) first published in 1802 and then repeatedly resumedin the 19th century, but virtually unknown in Poland. His medical pointsof view originally corresponded with materialistic philosophy; however,they also took into account the role of the spiritual and mental aspectsof a human – this “biological, thinking mechanism”, as Cabanis thought.An important role in his book was played by theories related to sensualism.Using modern terms, Cabanis created something like physiological psychology. According to him, the body, or more precisely its organs, take part in the creation of human thoughts which seem to be only the physiologicalresult of brain perception. This classic work was often invoked by successive generations of doctors and thinkers; it even appeared in artistic prose. Cabanis himself has had a fixed position in research and scientific studies for over two centuries.

Taking Goethe’s The Sorrows of Young Werther as a starting point, the article deals with the feeling of ‘Gluckseligkeit’ in the literaturę of the Enlightenment and Empfindsamkeit, using Sophie von La Roche’s The Story of the Fraulein von Sternheim as an example, and thus regarding the immediate run-up to the period around 1800. Drawing on the conceptions of eudaimonia formed in the antiquity and the early modern period, the author analyses and discusses literary representations that function as a medium for exploring and producing human ‘Gluckseligkeit’ - and thus for approaching the ‘inner world’ of human beings. The thesis is that in the light of a literary study that increasingly focuses on the ‘gluckselige Innerlichkeit’ of the protagonists, new insights into the literary epoch of Empfindsamkeit and thus also into the aspired emotional life of the time before 1800 come to light.

Der Beitrag beschaftigt sich ausgehend von Goethes Die Leiden des jungen Werthers mit dem Gefuhl der Gluckseligkeit in der Literatur der Aufklarung und Empfindsamkeit am Beispiel von Sophie von La Roches Die Geschichte des Fräuleins von Sternheim und damit dem unmittelbaren Vorfeld der Zeit um 1800. Unter Ruckgriff auf eudaimonie-Konzeptionen der Antike und der Fruhen Neuzeit sollen die Gluckseligkeit bzw. literarische Darstellungen, die als Medium der Erkundung und Herstellung menschlicher Gluckseligkeit – und damit auch der Annaherung an die Innenwelt des Menschen – fungieren, analysiert und vorgestellt werden. Die These ist, dass im Lichte einer verstarkt der ‚gluckseligen Innerlichkeit’ der Protagonist*innen zugewandten literaturwissenschaftlichen Untersuchung neue Erkenntnisse uber die Literaturepoche Empfindsamkeit und damit auch das angestrebte Gefuhlsleben der Zeit vor 1800 zutage treten.
