Referring to the Proteus myth, the author analyses the causes of changes taking place in the image and reception of political ideas and doctrines. He points to the current Polish ideological dis­pute between the advocates of liberal democracy and concepts of republicanism. Another question concerns the problem of interpretation and its various levels, where metamorphosis usually occurs. Finally, the author points to the problem of choosing tradition as a factor supporting the transform­ation of ideas and their impact on the current political set-up in Poland.

The essay presents the life and work of Kazimierz Chłędowski (1843–1920), partly in recognition of his political merit, but first of all to acknowledge his contribution to cultural studies and the popularization of knowledge about the Renaissance and the Baroque. Being a mere clerk and occupying at first the lowest post in the administration of Galicia, the part of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, with time Chłędowski raised to the position of the minister for Galicia in the Austrian government. Throughout his career and during the retirement he wrote several powerful monographs devoted to the history and culture of the Renaissance and the Baroque in Italy and France. His works had many re-editions in Poland and their translations won great popularity mainly in Germany and Scandinavia. Today Chłędowski seems to be a rather forgotten figure, hence the idea of writing this essay.

W eseju została przedstawiona postać Kazimierza Chłędowskiego (1843–1920) gwoli przypomnienia jego zasług po części politycznych, lecz głównie na polu kulturoznawstwa i popularyzacji wiedzy o renesansie i baroku. Chłędowski jako urzędnik przeszedł drogę od najniższych stanowisk w administracji Austro-Węgier i Galicji jako kraju koronnego, po stanowisko ministra dla Galicji w rządzie austriackim. W trakcie swej pracy, a potem na emeryturze, stworzył kilka potężnych monografii poświęconych dziejom oraz kulturze renesansu i baroku we Włoszech i Francji. Jego prace cieszyły się wielką popularnością na ziemiach polskich oraz miały wiele nakładów i tłumaczeń, głównie w Niemczech i Skandynawii. Dziś wydaje się postacią nieco zapomnianą, stąd cel napisania tego eseju.

The present essay is concerned with the Clausewitz’s arguments devoted to the relationships between the civil authorities and the military command. While starting with the known assumption made by the author of the treaty On the War, according to which the war is the continuation of policy which is only pursued with the use of different measures, the author of the present essay tries to show to what extent this assumption was timely at the moment of the writing of the treaty and what may be its significance in more universal sense. The author of the essay exploits the examples that draw upon the Prussian tradition, he exploits the concent of Preussentum as well as historical exemplifications based on the Frederician reforms, activities of K. Stein and K.A. Hardenberg, and eventually the conflict between

The paper provides a brief outline of the major elements that made up the foundations for the political thought of Marquis D. A. F. de Sade. The author of the paper believes that these elements have not been sufficiently presented in the Polish historiography of political doctrines. The Marquis, being deeply anchored in the Enlightenment ideas and stylistics, was simultaneously the thinker who questioned a remarkable number of elements of these ideas. What he challenged were in particular: the previous descriptions of nature, natural state, location and status of the human being, social contract and the concept of State and law. By questioning these concepts he indirectly challenged also the major articles of the Declaration of Rights of Man and Citizen. His political concepts are detectable in most of his literary production and therefore the author of the paper treats what is detectable as a certain whole which perhaps is not fully consistent of morality and law, both those of ancien régime as well as those promoted by too idealistic concepts of the pre-revolutionary era. An interesting example of the originality of his way of political thinking was his attempt to present to the reader the two extremely different socio-constitutional models – that of classical Utopia and that of Anti-utopia – as included in one literary production. The essay is concluded with a brief attempt at the summarizing and assessing of the discussed concepts as viewed against our present-day reception of de Sade’s production and his location in the history of political thought.
