Lektura etyczna - przebrzmiała moda czy interpretacyjna konieczność?

Abstract

The researcher asks the question on the up-to-dateness of the research proposals deriving from the circle called the “the ethics of reading”. She pays attention to the fact that recently old-fashioned and anachronic questions on the axiology of reading have now become typical problems of the humanities. It is supported by the conviction that particular fields of the humanities permeate into one another, and awareness that the ethics of the reception of a literary work constitutes an indispensable element of an individual reading of a text. The ethics appears in reader’s consciousness before poetics. Thanks to it, the reader, unfairly divided into an emotional and suspicious one, blends into the subject of a multi-dimensional reading experience. Hence, big text institutions base on reader’s individual reading who experiences, understands and evaluates the text. Without it, academic humanities does not exist.
