Bibliografia Jerzego Prokopiuka

Abstrakt

Jerzy Prokopiuk is a polish translator, who is especially interested in esotericism. He defines his worldview by two terms: theoanthropocentrism and spiritual holism. The major inspiration for him is Rudolf Steiner’s anthroposophy, as well as depth psychology created by Carl Gustav Jung. Prokopiuk considers Steiner and Jung as neognostics or transformation gnostics. Transformation gnosis is more optimistic than pessimistic old gnosis taken from the ancient times. Transformation gnosis, trying to transform individual people, and also all social life, is the seed of New Age Movement. Prokopiuk becomes a popularizer of New Age in Poland, publishing over five hundred essays and twenty-two books about esoteric, but his later works are much more pessimistic. Hence Prokopiuk’s worldview has four phases. First phase, when he is a pessimistic young man, disappointed by catholic religion, but not interested in the materialistic worldview though. The second phase, when Prokopiuk gets to know the anthroposophy and meets Robert Walter – polish anthropospher. The third phase, when he builds his original worldview, by getting inspirations from various esoteric traditions, and focuses on New Age. And the fourth phase, when he backs to his youthful doubts.
