Libelt – Gołuchowski – Ziemięcka. The forgotten tropes of Norwid’s links to Polish philosophy
Abstract
This article attempts to shed light on the forgotten tropes of Norwid’s links to Polish philosophy. The author indicates that the most frequently commented upon influence of August Cieszkowski on the thought of the author of Promethidion does not exhaust the richness of ideological contexts of Norwid’s writings. While constructing his role as a national and social poet in the 1840s, Norwid entered into a creative dialogue with national philosophy. He did not aspire to develop an independent, original position of a strictly philosophical nature, but in his poetry (especially in his discursive poems) he consciously drew on the achievements of his era. In this article, the author calls for research into the possible influences or inspirations of the thought of Polish philosophers on Norwid’s work to take into account figures such as Karol Libelt, Józef Gołuchowski and Eleonora Ziemięcka. Norwid knew all of them personally. He held the author of Zarysy filozofii katolickiej [The Outlines of Catholic Philosophy] in high esteem. There are many indications that the inclusion of Libelt, Gołuchowski and Ziemięcka in the reflection on the works of the young Norwid allows researchers to create a more complete map of contexts for the identification of their ideological background.
