KAPUŚCIŃSKI, OR WHY IS IT WORTH TO HAVE AN ISSUE OF TOPOS

Grzegorz Wysocki

An essay by Paweł Urbaniak entitled “Kapuściński – krytyk późnej nowoczesności” (Kapuściński – a critic of late modernity) is recommended especially to those not yet acquainted with Kapuściński’s anthropological, sociological and humanistic criticism. It is a concise and, for its selection of quotes from Kapuściński’s work, interesting compendium of his thoughts and remarks about the late modernity, based extensively on the author’s Lapidaria. Paweł Urbaniak’s introduction to Kapuściński's work, in which the marvel of his person and creation is described, is a best starting point for reading the set of articles on Kapuściński in the latest issue of “Topos”.
