Autorytet profesora. Henryk Struve i jego uczniowie w świetle korespondencji
(Wydawnictwa Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego, 2019) Makuch, Damian; Uniwersytet Warszawski
The article discusses the relations between Henryk Struve and his disciples in light of their largely unpublished correspondence. Among the participants of the lectures and seminars of this Warsaw academic, we find important figures belonging to several generations of Polish intelligentsia: Stanisław Brzozowski, Bronisław Chlebowski, Piotr Chmielowski, Ignacy Chrzanowski, Bronisław Grabowski, Antoni Lange or Zenon Przesmycki as well as less known persons such as Władysław Borowski, Wacław Chrzanowski and Gerard Uziębło. Bolesław Prus, Kazimierz Twardowski and Jerzy Żuławski can be also considered Struve’s disciples in view of their correspondence. The letters also demonstrate the relations that could be established between an academic and his students and, at the same time, testify what the authority of the Main School and the Imperial University of Warsaw professor meant and how it was maintained in the Polish society of the second half of the nineteenth century.

Psychologia w Szkole Głównej
(Wydawnictwa Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego, 2017-05-29) Makuch, Damian; Uniwersytet Warszawski
The aim of this article is to present lectures of psychology which took place at the Main School (as a part of the course of logic) and to demonstrate influence they had on positivists worldview. The author analyzes lectures and publications of professors (especially Henryk Struve, but also Wiktor Feliks Szokalski and Kazimierz Kaszewski). Although their works still refered to the Hegelian philosophy and Polish idealism, professors were interested in modern science which uses experience and observation. As the author proves on the basis of works of Julian Ochorowicz, (Henryk Struve’s student) it turns out that young positivists may be seen as students who were developing and continuing their professors ideas

W cieniu idealizmu. Pojęcie fantazji w dwóch rysach historycznoliterackich lat 60. XIX wieku
(Wydawnictwa Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego, 2015) Makuch, Damian; Uniwersytet Warszawski
Celem niniejszego artykułu jest próba odpowiedzi na pytanie, dlaczego fantazja stała się pojęciem negatywnym w zarysach historycznych Elizy Orzeszkowej i Aleksandra Tyszyńskiego. Fantazję traktuję jako poliwalentne i proteuszowe pojęcie, którego sens wykracza poza dyskurs literacki XIX stulecia i którego źródeł trzeba szukać (też) gdzie indziej. Lektura tekstów tego okresu przekonuje, że znaczenie fantazji aktualizuje się na przecięciu różnych dziedzin: polityki i historii (romantyzm polityczny), psychologii i fizjologii (władza poznawcza), wreszcie – estetyki, a w jej obrębie także w namyśle nad literaturą.

Fantastyka naukowa polskich pozytywistów – szczególnie trudna ewolucja gatunku
(Wydawnictwa Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego, 2013) Makuch, Damian; Uniwersytet Warszawski
The author wonders why despite favourable conditions of the Polish positivists’ programme, development of science fiction was hampered. He analyzes mainly scientific and technical motives, and examines related genres (mainly utopia). As a reason of slow development he finds extraliterary factors (didacticism and a sense of mission in literature after the January Uprising). At the same time, he questions the idea that the lack of science fiction works resulted from dominant realism. The article contains as well interpretation of the works which belong to the discussed genre: suspicious of the progress of Bolesław Prus’s prose works and Sygurd Wiśniowski’s short stories, closest to “pure” science fiction.
