Adam Asnyk - Plagiarism on Wikipedia (710 words)
Adam Asnyk (born September 11, 1838 in Kalisz, died August 2, 1897 in Krakow), was a Polish poet and dramatist.
What linked Asnyk's philosophy to the latter was the pragmatism of thinking, the admiration for the achievements of modern natural sciences and the right to common development.
In Asnyk's literary output a patriotic note is always present, advocating a belief in the nation's strength and the possibility of regaining independence, a note which is polemical with the conservative programme of agreement (W 25 rocznicę powstania 1863).
Adam Asnyk (920 words)
Schon während seines ersten Studiums in Heidelberg bildete Adam mit einigen polnischen Kommilitonen einen geheimen Verein, der bei den Vorbereitungen zu einem Aufstand in Kongresspolen mitwirkte und liberale und sozialistische Ideen vertrat.
Adam Asnyk wurde in der Verdientengruft der Krakauer Skałka-Kirche bestattet, wo vor allem berühmte Verfasser und Maler ruhen.
Asnyk debütierte als Epigone der Romantik in der Nachfolge von Heinrich Heine und Alfred de Musset; nach der nationalen Niederlage von 1863 wandte er sich dem Positivismus zu, ohne sich jedoch völlig zu den positivistischen Postulaten zu bekennen - er nahm eine Mittelstellung zwischen den beiden literarischen Richtungen ein.
