Tańczący z wilkami, biegnąca z wilkami. Próba Ricoeurowskiej analizy symbolu wilka

Abstract

In my paper I present various dimensions of wolf’s symbol. Beginning with the conception created by Paul Ricoeur, I head toward interpretation of wolf in phenomenological and hermeneutic method. In the first phase, I compare various meanings of wolf’s symbol, in the second one, I cite hermeneutic classification of wolf’s appearances in S.K. Robish works and analyse Michael Blake’s Dances With the Wolves from that perspective. In the third part I cite Jung’s understanding of this symbol and from that perspective I analyse Clarissa Pinkola Estés Woman Who run With the Wolves. Summing up my paper with a conclusion, that modern human can obtain a access to the wolf’s symbol’s meaning through various dimmensions of experience.
