Most of the papers presented during the meeting were focused on Polish poetry and literature of the 19th century Romanticism, nevertheless papers on various philosophical aspects of the epoch constituted a significant contribution to the conference topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:auto 25%\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-medium-font-size\">A member of A\u03a6R research group, Tomasz Mr\u00f3z, took part in the conference and delivered a talk titled <em>Plato in the Works of S\u0142owacki. Some Observations<\/em>. Mr\u00f3z discussed references to Plato in the works by Juliusz S\u0142owacki (1809-1849), a major figure in the period of Polish Romanticism, one of the three poets considered as the National Bards. <\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"213\" height=\"237\" src=\"http:\/\/www.aphr.ifil.uz.zgora.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/J.Slow_.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-785 size-full\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The speaker aimed to demonstrate that most of S\u0142owacki&#8217;s references to Plato were incidental, that the poet mixed up Plato&#8217;s dialogues (the <em>Phaedrus <\/em>and the <em>Phaedo<\/em>) and his knowledge of Plato&#8217;s works was limited to their French translations or paraphrases. It was the idea of reincarnation that seemed appealing to S\u0142owacki, but he could have learned it from other sources. The poet used and transformed, however, Plato&#8217;s myths and it was the myth of Er from the <em>Republic <\/em>that became the metaphysical foundation of S\u0142owacki&#8217;s great poetic work <em>The Spirit-King<\/em>. The conclusion of the paper was that in spite of the fact that the name of Plato is present in S\u0142owacki&#8217;s legacy, Platonism as a system of philosophical ideas is absent there.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"603\" src=\"http:\/\/www.aphr.ifil.uz.zgora.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/KUL-2024-1024x603.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-781\" style=\"width:525px;height:auto\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.aphr.ifil.uz.zgora.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/KUL-2024-1024x603.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.aphr.ifil.uz.zgora.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/KUL-2024-300x177.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.aphr.ifil.uz.zgora.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/KUL-2024-768x452.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.aphr.ifil.uz.zgora.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/KUL-2024-1536x905.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/www.aphr.ifil.uz.zgora.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/KUL-2024-2048x1207.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Wojciech Kruszewski (KUL), T.
