Paradoks Chestertonowskiej wizji wolności społecznej na przykładzie wiersza "To St. Michael, in Time of Peace"
Abstract
Even though Gilbert Keith Chesterton remained a political Roussoist-radical throughout his whole life, with time the ideal of political liberty understood according to the philosophy of Jean-Jacques Rousseau found less and less vivid expression in his writings, leaving the most important element animating them virtually invisible for the less knowledgeable readers. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate and explain this fact on the basis of the analysis of one of the most famous poems penned by the English author, entitled “To St. Michael, in Times of Peace” (1929). The analysis makes use of the methodology devised by a distinguished Polish scholar, Stefan Sawicki.
