Intimate Writing of Kazimierz Twardowski

Abstract

The article tackles the problem of belletristic (or literary, depending on historically changing conventions of literature) writing of literary critics, philosophers, and other thinkers in the humanities, as well as those representing exact sciences. The analysis of juvenile diaries and poems of Kazimierz Twardowski, the founder of the Lviv-Warsaw School, in the context of diaries and poetry by Roman Ingarden and Bronisław Malinowski, justifies the following strong statement: their non-academic works pretending to be “literature”, seem backward in comparison to their revolutionary, subversive for their time academic writing. That assumption is also valid in the cases of Maria Dłuska’s or Stefania Skwarczyńska’s poetical attempts. The article however focuses on the communicational, cultural, and familial specificity of Austrian Galicia. Those circumstances were seemingly decisive for the particularity of the three thinkers’ intimate writing.

Keywords:
