Stefana Czarnowskiego socjologiczna analiza kultu bohatera

Abstract

The authoress attempts to reconstruct the sociological concept of a hero as found in the work by S. Czarnowski: The Hero Worship and Its Social Background (Kult bohaterów i jego społeczne podłoże). The hero worship has been analysed by means of a remodelled concept of value. The hero as a personification of values plays the role i.a. of a basis for forming social bonds in the life of a society. This role has been recognized by S. Czarnowski as the basic function of social values.
