Abstract: The article analyzes the historiosophical vision of history in Wincenty Korab-Brzozowski’s poetic cycle Domus aurea. The author examines the structure, symbolism, and philosophical aspects of the work, focusing on the concept of time, world order, and the evolution of the lyrical subject. The text discusses the vertical and variabilistic nature of the depicted world, the role of fire as an element ordering reality, and the presence of the deity of time - Zurvan. The author points to the uniqueness of events, the idea of strength as humanity’s goal, and the pursuit of knowledge and self-improvement. The article highlights the connections between Korab-Brzozowski’s work and Stoic philosophy, Augustine’s thought, and Giambattista Vico’s concept of heroism. The analysis leads to the conclusion of coherence and evolutionary nature of the lyrical subject in Korab-Brzozowski’s poetry, revealing the depth and originality of his historiosophical reflection.
