Miejsce człowieka w dziejach świata (według filozofii genezyjskiej Juliusza Słowackiego)
Streszczenie
The genesic philosophy of Juliusz Słowacki, sometimes called his mysticism, is structured
and constituted around four basic historiographic concepts as regards mankind. They are: the
idea of spiritual progressive development, the concept of spiritual leadership, influence of the
world of spirits on human doings, and the aggregation (that is collective) form of the spirit.
Progress is the fundamental element of the genesic work of spirits who have been appointed
by God to do it. Those form-creating efforts are the nature and the task of the spirits of
the “World” .
The principle of progress is sacrifice. It means that a spirit has to sacrifice something of
its present form in order to receive a more perfect one from God. And thus, on the border
of organic forms, a spirit sacrificed its immortality, it sacrificed itself to death. In the genesic
system, death is only a break dividing two lives; just like a dream is a break between work
of the two days. The spirit that first rose the highest is benefactor to all creation because it
shows the way up to everything else. Such a spirit, progressing ahead of others, is the natural
guide o f the creation, King Spirit.
The most fundamental statement of Stowacki’s genesic philosophy is “Everything has been
created for the spirit and by the spirit, and there is nothing to exist for the material purpose”
This seems to be most beautifully expressed tribute to the spiritual element of the human nature.
