Abstract

The work represents an attempt at interpretation of the drama by Imre Madách The Tragedy of Man from the philosophy of history perspective. After discussing the initial three images of the work that was necessary considering the laws governing the world formulated there, it analyses only the eleventh image taking place in the 19th c. London. That episode is of key importance as it present the times contemporary to the author and it allows to look later from that perspective at the past and the future of the fates of humanity presented by Madách revealing the conceptions concerning them characteristic for the 19th c.
