In the core of this common tendency lies the reflection on the world as such. Because of the relational structure which reveals itself to man when he is placed in its center ( resp. Dasein), both Gombrowicz and Heidegger view the world as a necessary space which enables an understanding of ourselves and of everything that surrounds us. If the possibility of self‑understanding can be realized only on the basis of that world, the question about the possibility of finding ourselves in this world is essential. The world determines us, forms us and forces us to accept the resulting consequences. However, neither Gombrowicz nor Heidegger intended to reject or to destroy this form of self‑understanding. They intimated – each in his own manner – a modified way of relating to the world and to one’s own self.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Gombrowicz and Heidegger – the question on the world}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/121115/2021-03-PFIL-05-Wasko.pdf}, doi={10.24425/pfns.2021.138102}, keywords={“Cosmos”, existence, W.
