Jana Kochanowskiego nowa wizja człowieka (Renesansu) w świetle dialogu wrażliwości ze śmiercią. Odbudowa światopoglądu i tożsamosci poety „Trenów” (część II)

In The Laments, apart from the drama of the father and the poet, we saw the drama of the sage unfolding. The motto of the poem, questions about the attitude of man in the face of his own suffering, the truth about the irrevocability and inevitability of suffering under the influence of misfortune, considerations about the inability of the human mind to penetrate God’s mysteries, the presence of the person and thoughts of Cicero in the poem, all these constitute the wisdom of The Laments. The wisdom was to be the basic principle of human existence, the practical and theoretical principle on which it was to be based. The idea that it is to be internal constancy, understood as immutability, as a kind of lack of internal reaction to the course of things, has been questioned. When the illusion of one’s own wisdom has been understood and rejected, new wisdom emerges. It is to be an internal submission to Providence, an internal transformation under the influence of experience, which cannot be avoided because it is true.
