Abstracts

EN

The work is sketches about culture, including post-modern education in terms of polytheistic anthropology. This perspective enabled Tomasz Olchanowski to create a coherent work referring to Greek mythology and the ideas of other, non-European philosophical and religious systems, as well as personal perceptions of the knot problems of post-modern culture, especially in our country. According to the author, it may not be the voice of the majority, but of the minority, sometimes of dissenters, hermits and children, that may be appropriate in such an analysis. The work indicates the need for a renewed hermeneutics of the work of ancient Greek philosophers and for a re-interpretation of works that are classics of Western philosophy and other cultures. The work is a thoughtful work and contribution to the development of social sciences and humanities in Poland, both pedagogy of culture and depth as well as European cultural studies, Far East and other cultures, and with its rich content and presented results of the author's investigations proves the need for interdisciplinary research in these disciplines.
