Konserwatyzm szlachecki w dobie oświecenia z perspektywy współczesnych postaci polskiego tradycjonalizmu
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2018) Magryś, Roman
The contemporary research on the Stanislaus epoch expresses the opinion that the crucial civilization proces of the times was the development of the Enlightenment social formation as well as superseding Sarmatism from national life. Still there are more and more views that the Enlightenment was not a dominant cultural factor in Poland, in the late 18th century. The article “Konserwatyzm szlachecki w dobie oświecenia z perspektywy współczesnych postaci polskiego tradycjonalizmu” (“The Conservatism of Nobles in the Enlightenment Period as Viewed by Present-day Figures of Polish Traditionalism”) does not egree with the opinion expressed by Janusz Maciejewski that some Englghtenment values and Sarmatism accept not go hand in hand in people`s mind from the Stanislaus epoch. According to its author, some Sarmatians accept the Enlightenment ideas, witch does not eliminate traditionalism from their minds, but makes it more modern in some way. There is some analogy between the Enlightenment and the present Times. The presenty-day Polish political scene shows that it is possible to joins conservatism with modernism, apology of the past and facing new challenges.
Przejawy sarmackiej religijności w relacjach cudzoziemców odwiedzających Rzeczpospolitą w XVIII wieku
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2014) Piotrowiak, Dariusz
The main purpouse of this article is to elaborate how the foreigners who visited Poland during the 18th century described the religious life of the Polish nobility. The author analyses travel journals written by Johann Joseph Kausch, Johann Erich Biester, Jacques-Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre, William Coxe, Nathaniel William Wraxall, Joseph Marshall and James Harris. It is shown that the foreigners accused Polish nobles of bigotry and superficial religiousness. Moreover, they criticised the theatralisation of the Christian liturgy in Poland, although after the Council of Trident it was a common phenomenon in Europe. It is also proven that the foreigners demonstrated their indifferent attitude towards the idea of Poland as "antemurale christianitatis" and blamed the members of the Bar Confederation for cruelty and religious fanaticism. In conclusion, it is said that the foreigners created a false, simplified description of Sarmatian religiousness. The main reason of that was their general lack of understanding of Polish culture and mentality.
