Playing for Everything
The rate of appearance of subsequent comments, articles, advertisements referring to one episode from a supposedly boring football match is noteworthy. Apparently, the culture we live in is well-configured, sensitive, reacting quickly to opportunities that allow you to draw attention to your own products. That's good, it's an argument (Argumentum ad populum, as it is in the stadium) proving that we live in Western reality, in complex, long chains of symbolic meanings, mostly profit-oriented, pragmatic rationality. It will be easier for us to cope with the attempts to scare that we can all again find ourselves in the middle of the Dante landscape, "halfway" between the West and East, once again land in the Central European swamp, in which no man will look back and a century has already passed.
Let's learn from the better, since a small pitch gesture becomes an opportunity to talk "about our own", let's do the same. Our product will be Philosophy of symbolic forms (E.g. in a great translation by Przemysław Parszutowicz). And even any reading of those written by Ernst Cassirer about symbols.
Before our boys face Albania for everything in the next match, please click on Cassirera, give him a moment.
If a miracle had occurred and a dozen percent of hard-working compatriots even "on the heads", instead of advertising before the match, got acquainted with Cassirer's remarks about the strange functions of symbols, no subsequent elections would have to be - like the matches of the football team - "for everything".
The presence of a miracle is essential, because neither school nor universities, absorbed almost like footballers by ruthless competition, have time for such indecency. Miracles, fortunately, even happen "In Poland, that is, nowhere".
