Radość patrzenia. O „Godzinach włoskich" Henry’ego Jamesa

Abstract

This short article interprets Henry James’s Italian Hours (1909) as a series of insights into a phenomenology of seeing, treating the latter as both opening towards the surrounding reality and an act of self-consciousness. James’s phenomenological awareness is informed by his sense of joy, which turns out to be something more than mere delight with beautiful sights and scenes – it is in fact a joy of discovering the world’s freshness and novelty.
