Abstract

The paper aims to pinpoint one of the main interpretational problems of Józef Tischner’sphilosophy – the dispute around the notion of scene, which is the basicconcept in Tischner’s ‘philosophy of drama’. It is as well strongly connected withtheatre studies. That is why it is common to regard Tischner’s philosophy in a theatricalcontext. On the other hand, Tischner’s scene is also referred to world of entities,which in traditional philosophy was a field of ontological investigates. Both abovementionedtendencies are a result of misunderstanding Tischner’s thought and theylead to the wrong interpretation of his philosophy of man. Yet according to Tischnerman does not play in a drama as an actor on the scene, but rather he is a dramaticalbeing. Proper understanding of Tischner’s notion of scene is essential to understandhis philosophical project and to recognize its value and novelty.
