“…Nonetheless, as rooted in naïve Marxism, it gives leading clues for a standard Marxist reading of phenomenology. Indeed, many arguments formulated by Kroński already in 1952, were repeated and developed during the international conference on "Marxist Critique of Phenomenology and the Philosophy of Roman Ingarden" which was organized by the Polish Academy of Sciences and the editorial board of the journal "Dialectics and Humanism" in Jadwisin, close to Warsaw, in 1975 (Küng, Swiderski 1976).…”

The article presents main tendencies in the reception of phenomenology in the light of Marxism in Poland in the post-war period. As it is argued, although phenomenology was marginalized and even refused from the Marxist position, a dialogue between both traditions established interesting developments, especially with regard to the problem of the body, and constitution of solidarity as a social phenomenon. The main thesis of the study is that the confrontation with Marxism enabled phenomenologists a problematization of the phenomenon of work as a specific way of being. The article is divided into three parts. First, the author defines main ideological points of the Marxist critique of phenomenology, i.e., a critique of phenomenology as a bourgeois philosophy that cannot offer anything to the communist society since it abandons the sphere of praxis. Next, positive developments of the phenomenological method are to be reconstructed; moreover, the author analyzes Szewczyk’s original reading of Husserl, and his analysis of experience of the body. Finally, the article points out a Marxist background of some thoughts of Wojtyła and Tischner, including Tischner’s ethics of solidarity, and Wojtyła’s emphasis on human dignity.
