Search for: [Abstract = %22In this article%2C I make an intellectual experiment which is focused on how people and their worldview are determined by culture. The text is centered around a well%5C-known story called %E2%80%98conflict about a scythe%E2%80%99 contained in a Polish novel by Edward Redli%C5%84ski%2C Konopielka. Using ethnological and philosophical texts of A.P. Kowalski%2C M. Foucault%2C M. Mauss%2C I explain how our knowledge and the magical culture determine the way of thinking. I ask to what extend folk communities described in Konopielka are determined by the magical way of seeing the world. In my opinion%2C there is a strong magical echo in the folk society which makes it problematic to understand different interpretations of the %E2%80%98conflict about a scythe%E2%80%99 in Polish ethnological descriptions.%22]
