The article discusses the passing of time and maturing to loneliness, i.e. the philosophical dimensions of existence in Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz’s short prose forms. The influences of Nietzsche’s role of instincts and the pathos of human existence in time, Schopenhauer’s antinomy of human personality, Oskar’s Wilde’s aesthetics with a modernist simplified romantic element and at the same time biological fullness of life, metaphysical anxiety and dionysianness were indicated. The author’s search is accompanied by the conviction that loneliness is inevitable. Realizing this inevitability is adulthood. Attention was also paid to the role of irony in Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz’s short prose forms and its connections with the specific understanding of irony by Cyprian Kamil Norwid, which actually make up the whole philosophy.
