O prawdzie i podmiocie wiersza Josifa Brodskiego „Я сижу у окна…”

Abstract

The analysis of Iosif Brodsky’s poem rejects the claim that his poetry is metaphysical in nature. Instead, it suggests that the distinctive construction of presented in the poem subject, fitting Giani Vattimo’s description of “weak” subject, is typical for late modernity. Characterizing him as a late-modern author is then justified further by examining Brodsky’s conception of truth: for him it is a contingent, context-dependent entity, which voids the professed universality of metaphysical claims.
