Drzwi do gier metafizycznych Różewicza

Abstract

The famous Różewicz’s ambivalence "living without god is possible living without god is impossible" is the thematic core of this article. The structure of the world without god is possible. Impossible is the same truth. Who is responsible for this condition — god or man? It is an everlasting rhetoric question. A tentative answer is just another voice in the discussion. Różewicz's output has always been marked by the anxiety of open-ended questions, also with reference to metaphysical notions. The poet deconstructs, in a way, various outlooks, and he opens “the door of perception”. There is “nothing” left - a space after leaving. This “nothing” is of socio-cultural nature. Mass culture makes gods out of things. The condition of the man and artist in the contemporary world has reached its loneliness apogee. "Metaphysics is dead Witkacy said and left into nothing [...]" The agony of metaphysics does not end considerations of the sense of human existence in the world because presence is never mute.
