The utopia of Nipu is treated as a literary example of the Enlightenment society, in which there occurs a clash of human values. This conflict resists the irreconcilable, traditional axiology of the author and the Western system social philosophy of the times. That is why Krasicki’s utopia constitutes a unique vision of a world which – contrary to the logic of the Enlightenment – cannot be rational and harmonious.}, doi = {10.4467/23531991KK.17.001.7266}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/konteksty-kultury/article/utopijne-swiaty-ignacego-krasickiego-w-kontekscie-filozofii-spolecznej-oswiecenia} }
