摘要:The aim of this paper is main relations to connect the theory of struggle with belles-lettres. Tadeusz Kotarbiński in 1938 began the general theory of struggle (agonology) from the perspective of praxiology. In the second half of the 20th century Polish scientists developed as follows: theory of destructing (cybernetic theory of struggle), theory of non-armed struggle, theory of defensive struggle, theory of combat sports, which is narrowed as far as to a micro-scale – struggles of one against another as it is in combat sports, or an individual against a small group (as at non-sport confrontations). The theory of struggle has been widely applied in developing the theory of sport.In this paper the analysis of struggle (arm wrestling) of heroes of a leading Ernest Hemingway’s short story we have based on agonology. This result shows in a certain sense a new methodological value of agonology in interdisciplinary research of various type struggles, which had been described in belles-lettres. This is a valuable perspective, especially in cognitive and didactic sense
