Fenomenologia polska przełomu XX i XXI wieku na obczyźnie : kluczowe założenia fenomenologii życia Anny Teresy Tymienieckiej

Abstract

This article in a brief way outlines the main assumptions of the concept of the phenomenology of life by contemporary Polish philosopher Anna Teresa Tymieniecka (1923–2014). Tymieniecka pointed out these assumptions in one of her statements presented at the Congress of Polish Culture in London in 1985. The purpose of the philosophical section was to outline the situation of Polish philosophy and Polish culture in exile in the context of the crisis in European culture. Tymieniecka, who was an active scholar in the United States, presented her own point of view on this crisis stating that its source was the absence of communication between various fi elds of knowledge and also between general science and other forms of human cultural activity. She also presented her own vision of overcoming this crisis in the form of the phenomenology of the human creative condition as the new mathesis universalis.
