POVZETEK
Na poezijo, ki jo je ustvarjal Srečko Kosovel je vplivala vzhodna filozofija, ki jo je v zahodno
literaturo v veliki meri prinesel Rabindranath Tagore. Slednji je preko duha hinduizma in
indijske kulture črpal teze, ki jih je, v prostoru in času, bivanjsko predstavil zahodu. K
tematiki človečanstva, biti, smrti in ponovnega rojstva, odgovorom na nevedna vprašanja -
kdo sem, od kod prihajam, kam sem namenjen, zakaj sem tukaj, ali počnem to, zaradi česar
sem prišel - sta se obračala oba omenjena pesnika. Analizirala sem literarna besedila, ki so se
dotikala eksplicitno obeh pesnikov in ugotavljala koliko in v kakšni smeri je Tagore, kot
človek vzhoda, vplival na Kosovela, kot človeka zahoda. Z literarno raziskavo sem preverjala
kje se je Kosovel obrnil na vzhod in prevzel tematike, ki so propadajočemu zahodu poskušale
pokazati, zakaj je do propada sploh prišlo. Vzrok, ki je povzročil posledico 'dehumanizacije'
človeka, svetovno vojno in postavil ţivo bitje na raven brezosebne mehanike (t.i. 'mašinerije'),
je tičal v nacionalizmu oziroma naciji. Slednja ni prizanašala ne vzhodu in ne zahodu, kajti
Kosovel je od Tagoreja črpal tisto, kar mu je pomagalo razviti bivanjski nazor v prostoru in
času ter prišel do točke, ko bi si lahko odgovoril na zgoraj postavljena vprašanja, a ga je s
triindvajsetimi leti prehitro dohitela smrt.

SUMMARY
The poetry of Srečko Kosovel was influenced by the eastern philosophy, which found its way
into the western literature mainly through Rabindranath Tagore. The spirit of Hinduism and
the Indian culture can both be regarded as the source of ideas which Tagore presented to the
West, within his own environment and era. Both poets dealt with the themes of humanity,
existence, death and rebirth, as well as with the following questions: who am I, where do I
come from, where am I bound to, why am I here and whether I perform the actions which
justify he purpose of my existence. The works of both authors were analysed in order to
determine the degree of influence which Tagore, as a representatiove of the East, had had on
Kosovel – a representative of the West. A literary survey was carried out to find on which
occasions Kosovel had referred to the East and adopted the ideas which presented the western
world the actual cause of the decay – the nationalism or the nation, leading to the
»dehumanisation« of a human being, the world war and the placing of a human being on the
pure level of impersonal mechanics (i.e. »machinery«) which affected both, the East and the
the West. This is reflected in Kosovel's using of those Tagore's ideas which helped him
develop the terms of existence within his environment and era, finally leading him to the point
where he was able to give answers to the above-mentioned questions. Unfortunately, this was
marked by his early death at the age of twenty-three.
Key words: Kosovel, Tagore, humanity, nationalism, eastern philosophy, the decline of the
