The Deconstruction of the Myth as a (Re-)mythologization (Parnicki and Hegel)
Mirosław Gołuński
Uniwersytet Kazimierza Wielkiego w BydgoszczyAbstract
In the paper the author discusses the problem of self-mythologization as a consequence of the results of previous demythologization of the text
of history. In the first part the phenomenon is described on the example of the novel by Teodor Parnicki, Nowa baśń part I, in which the process of self-mythologization is consciously created by the writer. The second part of the article discusses Hegel’s Wykłady z filozofii dziejów (Lectures on the Philosophy of History). In this case analogous, but at this time unconscious, processes, which the German philosopher underwent, are observed. In both cases it is a process, in the result of which the deconstructors of myths create new myths, in fact, immediately, because irrespective of their assurances they do not aim at objectivity, but they build narrations which are originally supposed to realize their own goals.
