Abstract

top
„Picturesque geography” is an original expression of Wacław Nałkowski, which  probably has no counterpart in the whole history of geographical thought. It clearly shows Nałkowski’s belief that the materials utilized in the process of education should have a beautiful shape. This is also a very convincing expression of his romantic sensibility and the testimony of his great literary talent. Romantic aspects in works of Nałkowski are thought to be very important, since geography is a field which was founded as a modern science, and was established as an academic discipline just in the era of Romanticism. Despite this, most of the authors perceive Nałkowski mainly as an outstanding representative of positivism – the philosophy derived directly from  the Enlightenment, which in many respects is the opposite of Romanticism. The article presents the „picturesque geography” concept against the background of contemporary discussions concerning the aesthetic education.
