Czarnoksięstwa humanistów Jerzego Kmity jako część projektu „humanistyki naukowej”

Abstrakt

In the article I argue that short papers written by Jerzy Kmita published in “Nurt” magazine in 70-s of the XX century enable to understand his methodological scientific project of humanities. In my opinion all the papers argue with common sense coming into the humanistic thinking. There are a few levels in which we can consider that process and this is destroying an ordinary way of thinking about cultural researches. First level is a Kmita’s answer on the question why humanistic sorceries are so popular. It is because they actually say what the common sense says but the people do not treat that kind of knowledge as a knowledge indeed. Second is a common sense picture standing in the humanistic terminology which is used without reflection. That is a silent way sorceries come into the humanistic science. In my article I try to show that Kmita’s ideas are still actual because today there are more of them than he would imagine. Another thing is that the texts gathered in Czarnoksięstwa humanistów [Sorceries of Humanists] are written using simple expressions that are easy to understand and an author do not use the difficult language that is present in the majority of his books.
