Almost from the very outset of Tadeusz Rózewicz's artistic itinerary, his work has been accompanied with a dispute related to the problem of nihilism. At least up until 1990s, it was assuming the form of an alternative: a nihilist, or, a moralist? In the first part of the present sketch, the author attempts at tracing the dispute's history, making references to selected convictions formulated as part of it. The second and third parts will embark on attempted transferral of the problem into an entirely different ground. From the thus delineated perspective, the problem of nihilism will be approached in a new context, which, as it may be reasonably believed, will force us not only to significantly revaluate our existing critical views but, in the first place, to assume a new methodological position that would give grounds for such a 'shift' or 'revaluation'. However, the author's intent is not to announce the dispute's end, for the dispute will probably go on. What the author refers to instead is the dispute's being closed, exhausted. Hence, he tries to show that the 'moralist vs. nihilist' alternative is not only erroneous and exhausted but it also leads to certain serious misunderstandings related to how we comprehend the notion of 'nihilism' today.

The paper is devoted to the history of the notion of nihilism which was introduced to German philosophy in the 18th century by Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi (1743-1819) as a critique of transcendental philosophy of Kant and Fichte. The Kantian subject and the Fichtean 'I' are both pure intellectual constructs that turn everything outside of themselves into nothing, which is why their theories are nihilism. In his critique of Kant and Fichte, Jacobi rejects the idea of philosophy as a science that deduces all its content from one subjective principle. Philosophy should be based on something what cannot be reduced to thought.

O możliwym znaczeniu nihilizmu dla religii

In the article the author provides a positive answer to the question, whether for a religious believer awareness of nihilism can be a source of positive insights in the nature of religious faith. Nihilism in this context is understood not as a simple denial of the existence of the Transcendent, but as a all-encompassing cultural experience grounded in the activity of reflection. Analysis of the phenomenon of nihilism and its specific “logic” leads to description of the condition of a religious consciousness which is shaped by the recognition of positive aspects of the experience of nihilism. The search for positive meaning of nihilism is set against the background of the debate about the relationship between “faith” and “reason”. What is under consideration, however, is not the question whether in the context of nihilism some sort of faith is still possible, but whether a believer’s epistemic situation is affected by his awareness of nihilism.

The article deals with the argument over Milovanie v husej koži (Lovemaking with goose pimples on) by Miroslav Válek. The collection of poems published in 1965 became in 1966 the subject of the argument between M. Hamada and S. Šmatlák. M. Červenka of the Czech side got involved in it as well. The presented text reconstructs it as a chiasmus of poetry and criticism, structuralism-inspired analysis and interpretation of a poetic text and its radicalizing, existentially appealing finalization of the thinking process. The protagonist of the polemic M. Hamada deliberately situated it on the boundary between literary and moral-critical social debates. What M. Hamada vehemently identified in Válek´s „fourth book of restlessness“ was Nihilism and related amorphous, fragmentary, and cliché lyric messages. The other participant of the argument S. Šmatlák defended M. Válek in the name of everlasting Humanism including the negative moments of the human and the world using. The argument is contextualized in the article as an argument over moderating the form of the poetry in the 1960s (on the one hand analytical unmasking of the human situation and on the other hand his cathartic poetic saviour), the nature of criticism (work at the service of the text as opposed to the efforts to autonomously reflect on literature and the state of the world), as the confrontation between the traditional and ideological reflections of Humanism and the related contemporary issues (the philosophy of existence, M. Heidegger, Structuralism of the 1960s, literature itself ranging from S. Beckett to J.-P. Sartre). The argument anticipated the schism of Slovak literature in the 1970s and 1980s, namely Šmatlák´s ideological viewpoints in the 1970s and 1980s and Hamada´s moralizing gestures as of the 1990s. The article records the impact of the argument on the interpretations of poetic texts in Slovak writing about poetry, its methodical dimensions as well as the still open issues of reading Válek´s poetry itself. Finally, it takes notice of potential connections with F. Halas´s poetry updated from the mid-1950s.

The article attempts to show the links between Schiller's thought and Nietzsche's philosophy. In the first part it presents the influence of Schiller's historiosophy on Nietzsche's view of modernity and his critical diagnosis of modernity (the problem of cultural duality of modernity, of nihilism). In the second part it shows the influence of Schiller's thought on shaping a positive project of Nietzsche's philosophy (the idea of creative unity of man's existence, aestheticism).

The most significant problems of contemporary life have their origins in nihilism and its paradoxical logic, which is simultaneously destructive, and constitutive of society and individual. Yet, in philosophical theory, nihilism is surprisingly under-researched topic. Nietzsche’s relation to the problem of nihilism is a complex one. He approaches the problem of nihilism as deeply personal, stating that this predicament of the modern world is a problem that has become conscious in him. Sense of Nietzsche’s idea of the eternal recurrence assumes criticism existence as it is, without meaning or aim. The philosophy of will should displace metaphysics, overcome and revaluate all ancient values. The author tries to explain Nietzsche’s idea of the will to power as a simulative principle of the idea of the eternal recurrence. The paper examines the relationship of Nietzsche’s time perspective to nihilism, and how it relates to overcoming or closuring of open nihilism.

The aim of the article is to elucidate the problem of happiness in Albert Camus' reflexion. Analysing Camus' work, the author makes an attempt at finding out possible forms of affirmation of man in the world of indifference, illusion, nonsense and shows the way in which the Camus' man should choose to rejoice at his own existence. This way starts from an act of understanding the absurd, next it leads to a revolt, and finally arrives at the choice of real life and the experience of true happiness in deep connexions with other people.

If we attempted to clarify symbolically the course which has eventuated into the current „global crisis“ especially in the field of examination of the dichotomy of life and death, the most appropriate statement would be the famous Nietzsche´s figural sentence: „God is dead.“ Nietzsche was the first philosopher who exposed the European nihilism relating to fall of universal values and decomposition of traditional morality. Nietzsche´s philosophy and work is still very current that´s why it is really vital and purpose-made for our needs. Decomposition of traditional morality and destruction of metaphysical centre are both events, in which we should look for the reasons and purpose of the European nihilism that Nietzsche supposed.
