I have been involved with the history of Polish philosophy for over 40 years . Some results of my research in this area – in the English language – were presented in the volume entitled Polish Analytical Philosophy. Studies on Its Heritage [Jadacki 2009]. This volume features, firstly, review texts on the sources of contempo‑ rary Polish logic, the development of the Polish philosophy of science, the history of modern philosophy of science in Warsaw, the conceptual system of the Lvov‑Warsaw School and its impact on the Polish philosophy in the 20th century; it also addresses the fate of Polish philosophers during World War II . The texts have been supplemented with an appendix containing a bibliography of the Polish logic, dating from the second part of the 14th century to the first part of the th20 century . The volume includes, secondly, the texts discussing the links of the Polish philosophy with the philosophy of German speaking countries (based on the examples of Alexius Meinong and Heinrich Scholz) . Thirdly, it presents monographs devoted to eminent Polish philosophers of the 20th century: Kazimierz Twardowski, Leon Chwistek, Władysław Tatarkiewicz, Tadeusz Czeżowski, Roman Ingarden and Jan Salamucha. 2. This book is a continuation of that volume, limited, as a matter of fact, to the 19th and 20th centuries . It also contains review texts and monographs devoted to individual philosophers . As regards the monographs, my emphasis is on the views of philosophers, not on the sources of their inspiration (the focus is on the reconstruction of their philosophical standpoints, not on the so‑called affiliation of ideas, which is addressed primarily by the historians of the Polish philosophy) . In tandem with Polish Analytical Philosophy, this Polish Philosophy of the 19th and 20th Centuries offers English language readers a wealth of information about Polish philosophers of the last two centuries . I am deeply convinced that all discussed philosophers are the most prom‑ inent figures of the Polish thought of that period. 3 . No part of this volume has been published in English before – with the exception of a study devoted to Jerzy Perzanowski, published as [Ja‑ dacki 2008]. Some of the texts were originally written in Polish (and depart to a great‑ er or lesser extent from the versions contained in this volume), and one text was originally written in French. Below is their complete list: [Jadacki 7 1987], [Jadacki 1993a], [Jadacki 1993b], [Jadacki 1994], [Jadacki 1996], [Jadacki 1998a], [Jadacki 1998b], [Jadacki 1998c], [Jadacki 1999a], [Ja‑ dacki 1999a], [Jadacki 2013], [Jadacki 2014], [Jadacki 2015], and [Jadacki & Przełęcki 1993]. 4 . As I have already mentioned, ALL the Polish philosophers discussed in separate monographs in both the volumes are outstanding . It cannot be said, however, that all prominent Polish 19th and 20th century philosophers have been covered . The picture of Polish philosophy of that period captured in these books is yet to be completed. The line‑up of academic thinkers active in the first part of the 19th cen‑ tury at the Jagiellonian University, Vilna University, and Warsaw University comes without Michał Wiszniewski, for example. As regards non‑academic thinkers, i.a., Józef Maria Hoene‑Wroński is absent. The Polish philosophy of the mid‑19th century is not represented at all: such thinkers as, for exam‑ ple, Karol Libelt or Józef Kremer have not been included . As regards the representatives of the second part of the 19th century, such a notable figure as Adam Mahrburg has not been featured . Another absent figure from the turn of 19th and 20th century is, for ex‑ ample, Mścisław Wartenberg. The most conspicuous absence as regards the first part of the 20th century is Jan Łukasiewicz and many more prominent philosophers – even though this publication is assumed to feature only those who are no longer with us . I hope that this underrepresentation will be made up for in volume III to follow, addressing the most recent developments in Polish philosophy . Jacek Jadacki. Warsaw, 11 September 2015 . 8 Introduction. Seven centuries of the Polish thought 1. Phases of the history of Polish philosophy I would like to precede the texts on 19th and 20th century Polish philoso‑ phy, with – on the one hand – a general overview of its history and division into periods, and with a more in‑depth look into the thoughts of our phi‑ losophers representative of particular epochs on the other hand . Henryk Struve, a prominent historian of Polish philosophy from the turn of the last century, pointed out that one of the characteristic features of our philosophy is the special place occupied by the research on logic and ethics . The former, unfortunately, is not fit to be presented in a popular synthesis due to being too «abstract», complex, and requiring the use of a difficult technical language . Therefore, all the examples of the Polish thought con‑ tained herein pertain to ethics: a domain which is more «practical» than logic, at least in some respects simpler, and capable of being expressed in everyday language without a compromise to the content (essence). The history of Polish philosophy to date is broken down into the phases I shall refer to as: PERLOCUTION, INITIATION, CONSOLIDATION, EXPANSION, TUR‑ BULENCE, EXPECTATION, ACCELERATION, COMPRIMATION AND LIBERALIZATION. Let us look into these phases by turns. 2. The phase of perlocution The first phase of the history of Pol‑ ish philosophy – the PHASE OF PERLOCU‑ TION – covers the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries: the periods when Gothic style begins to emerge in the Polish art . (The concept of “turn of the centuries” will denote a period of time commencing more or less mid‑13th century and ending more or less mid‑14th century .) This phase has only one representative . It is Witelo (Ciołek) of Legnica (ca. 1230 ‑ ca. 1314), a Silesian: half‑German and half‑Pole (on the distaff side). Witelo of Legnica 9 In ca. 1268 he writes a Latin ethical‑metaphysical treaty entitled O głów- nym źródle pokuty ludzkiej i o istocie złych duchów [Witelo 1268]. This is where he saw the said source: The sight of God brings great delight to a human soul imprisoned in the body; it is known to everyone who heads for the Holiest Being by pursuing scientific re‑ search or contemplation. Human souls decay in the filth of sin and steer ever further away from eternal vision of God . Human soul becomes tainted by wallowing in evil doings. […] The greatest punishment […] for sinful souls […] is [exactly] casting them away from their Creator […]. The reason why people stray from the path that they are obliged to follow is the triumph of senses over reason . A truly humane activity is the activity of the mind aimed at attaining eternal life in this life on Earth; it is neither eating nor drinking, because those latter are also characteristic of plants and animals . And this deviation from the right path, equal to the denial of the goodness vested in every individual, is what we call a sin. Hence, a sinner (as the one deprived of his humanity as a con‑ sequence of his sins) is not a human being! […] Thus, a [human] soul, […] [through the operation of conscience] not only fights against sinful impulses, but overcomes them successfully […]. And this is the very origin of […] penance [Witelo 1268: 66‑69]. 3. The phase of initiation The second phase of the Polish thought – the PHASE OF INITIATION – covers the turn of 14th and 15th centuries, and therefore the period when Gothic style is very much at home in the Polish art .

  • Conventions, Styles of Thinking and Relativism
    S t udia Philosophica Wratislaviensia Supplementary Volume, English Edition 2012 KRZYSZTOF SZLACHCIC University of Wrocław Conventions, Styles of Thinking and Relativism. Some Remarks on the Dispute between I. Dąmbska and L. Fleck* Abstract My comments are focused on the debate between Izydora Dąmbska and Ludwik Fleck. In the course of their debate, which took place in the 1930’s, they discussed some basic issues of epistemology, focusing on the problems of the sources of scientific knowledge, objectivity of knowledge, and truth. The aim of the paper is to place their debate in a the historical context and to demonstrate the novelty of Fleck’s arguments, especially in comparison with Thomas S. Kuhn’s later contribution. I also examine the dominant interpretations of Fleck’s theory of knowledge, as well as the reasons for which his philosophical ideas, especially Entstehung und Entwicklung einer wissenschaftlichen Tatsache (1935) have fallen into the philosophical obliv- ion. I argue that Fleck’s views, although innovative, were less radical than it is commonly thought. My comments focus on the polemic that ensued in the 1930s between Izydora Dąmbska and Ludwik Fleck. The authors involved in it either directly or indirectly referred to the fundamental questions of the theory of cognition: the question of the sources of scientific knowledge, objectivity of knowledge (its communicabil- ity), relative nature of scientific knowledge, truth. The small total volume of texts which directly referred to the views of the adversaries as well as the place where the dispute occurred (Lvov, a geographically peripheral part of the “civilised world” at the time) could suggest that this was just a minor episode in the history of thought, not worth mentioning.

  • I. BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE the Manuscript of Jan Strzembosz and His Book Collection Have Not Been Deprived of the Attention of Polish Scholaraship
    ORGANON 26-27:1997-1998 AUTEURS ET PROBLEMES Tomasz Strzembosz (Poland) JAN STRZEMBOSZ (1545-1606) HIS MANUSCRIPT AND COLLECTION OF BOOKS I. BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE The manuscript of Jan Strzembosz and his book collection have not been deprived of the attention of Polish scholaraship. The manuscript has been studied by Witold Rubczynski (1922), who, as Aleksander Birken- majer observed, "knew very little about its author". In fact his knowledge was "less than very little". The book collection has received the scholarly regard of many others, writing at diverse times. But none of it has amounted to more than just brief notes, not providing much information about the library collection and its history, and next to none about its original owner. Today, in an age marked by a heightened interest in the Renaissance, Strzem­ bosz’ valuable bibliophile bequest is a worthy subject for academic attention, while the life and achievements of the enlightened and public-spirited col­ lector who endowed us with it merit a few moments of notice. A compilation of the facts published earlier and more recently with the material preserved in the archives and collected still before the Second World War, which has fortunately managed to survive that War, will help to give us a fuller picture of the figure of Jan Strzembosz. In 1538 at Opoczno (now Central Poland), on a date recorded as "f. 5 post Conductum Paschae" the Strzembosz brothers, Mikołaj, the Reverend Andrzej, Derstaw, and Ambroży, sons of Jan Strzembosz of Jablonica and Wieniawa, and later of Dunajewice and Skrzyńsko, Justice of the Borough of Radom1, and Owka (Eufemia), daughter of Dersław Dunin of Smogorze- wo, Lord Crown Treasurer, and Małgorzata of Przysucha, concluded an act for the distribution of the patrimonial and maternal property left to them.

  • The Grand Duchy of Lithuania As a Successor of Rome in the Early
    Open Political Science, 2018; 1: 170–181 Research Article Joanna Orzeł* From imagination to political reality? The Grand Duchy of Lithuania as a successor of Rome in the early modern historiography (15th–18th centuries)# https://doi.org/10.1515/openps-2018-0015 received December 17, 2018; accepted December 31, 2018. Abstract: At the beginning of the Renaissance Lithuanians understood that to join the civilization of Western Europe, it was necessary to have an appropriate (it means: very long) tradition. Like other countries, they had to create their own myth of origin. The most prestigious tradition was Greek-Roman antiquity, so the country’s origin story was invented, claiming its people descended directly from Rome. According to subsequent chronicles, the founder of the new state was Palemon (Publius Libon, initially Vilia). Using the theory of cultural memory of Jan and Aleida Assmann, the article presents how and why the Lithuanian myth of origin was transformed from 15th to the end of the 18th century. Particular attention was paid to the current needs of the state and the powerful noble families of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, which also found their origins in the state myth. During the early modern period, the changes in the story were made (including the date of Palemon’s arrival in the Lithuanian lands). Nonetheless, the myth was not questioned for a long time. Even once it had already been established that it was no more than a fairy tale, the story was revived again, performing other functions in the 19th century. Keywords: cultural memory; foundation myth; mythical genealogy; Palemon; the Grand Duchy of Lithuania; Polish- Lithuanian historiography; Greco-Roman antiquity in early modern period.

    Górnowicz, Hubert Rodowe nazwy miejscowe Mazur i Warmii Komunikaty Mazursko-Warmińskie nr 2, 197-228 1965 MATERIAŁY HUBERT GÔRNOWICZ RODOWE NAZWY MIEJSCOWE MAZUR I WARMII Artykuł niniejszy jest poszerzonym materiałowo rozdziałem większej mono­ grafii, omawiającej nazwy rodowe całej Polski i innych krajów słowiańskich. Nazwy rodowe Mazur i Warmii są godne osobnego opracowania, ponieważ wielka ich liczba i charakter mogą być argumentem toponomastycznym, po­ twierdzającym siłę polskiej kolonizacji tego obszaru. Zgodnie z W. T aszyckim 1 uznajemy za rodowe nazwy miejscowe .takie, które z początku były nazwami mieszkańców osady wywodząc się od nazwy osobowej, jakiej wspólnie używali członkowie tego samego rodu, względnie jaką ich wszystkich określano. Przykładami nazw rodowych mogą być polskie Baby, Bolesty, Dmochy, Gniewy, Skoczydoły, Wszebory, czy czeskie Bludy, Doloplazy, Kuroslepy, Vicemïly. Termin „nazwy rodowe” należy trak­ tować umownie. W czasie, gdy odbywała się polska kolonizacja Mazur i Warmii, ustrój rodowy należał już do dalekiej przeszłości. Mamy tu do czynienia raczej z polskimi rodzinami niż z rodami. W. Taszycki zaliczył nazwy odprzezwiskowe typu K onojady do nazw etnicznych. Wydaje się jednak, że należy zaliczyć je też do klasy nazw rodowych, ponieważ w praktyce nie ma ostrej i wyraźnej granicy między imionami, nazwiskami i przezwiskami, od których te nazwy utworzono. Są to wszystko nazwy osobowe. Już S. Rospond zwrócił uwagę na to, że nazw miejscowych utworzonych od imion oisobowych nie da się pod względem strukturalno-gramatycznym oddzielić od takich nazw utworzonych od przezwisk2. Moje badania nad całością nazw rodowych Słowiańszczyzny potwierdzają tę strukturalną tezę S. Rosponda także w sensie semantycznym. Na praktyczną niemożliwość oddzielenia nazw miejscowych, pochodzących od przezwisk, od nazw derywowanych, od imion osobowych i występujących w liczbie mnogiej zwrócił też uwagę V.

  • Bronisław Dembowski Reception of the Encyclical "Aeterni Patris" in Poland
    Bronisław Dembowski Reception of the Encyclical "Aeterni Patris" in Poland Collectanea Theologica 46/Fasciculus specialis, 187-203 1976 Collectanea Theologica 46 (1976) fasc. specialis BRONISLAW DEMBOWSKI, WARSZAWA RECEPTION OF THE ENCYCLICAL "AETERNI PATRIS” IN POLAND The encyclical Aeterni Patris of Pope Leo XIII promulgated on August 4, 1879, had exercised an enormous influence on the revival of scholastic thinking which began a few decades before and is known as the neoscholastic movement, for short neoschola­ sticism1. The present study aims to fill the gap in the history of philo­ sophical thinking in Poland, and to show the bearing of the ency­ clical in the Polish philosophical centers and the reception it met with. The whole study can be divided into four groups of problems: 1) Christian philosophizing in Poland before the encyclical, 2) the main points of teaching in the encyclical, 3) the evaluation of the encyclical in Poland, 4) the response of the philosophers to the recommendations of the encyclical. 1. Christian Philosophical Thinking in Poland before the Encyclical We can say, in a general way, that the main issue of Christian philosophy in Poland, in the middle of 19th century, was the defence of faith threatened by the rationalistic attitude. The attacks of reasoning were seemingly twofold: on the one hand from the already in decay, nevertheless still fascinating idealistic philosophy 1 Cf. v a n Riet, L'Epistémologie thomiste, Louvain 1946 (on neoscholasti­ cism before the encyclical Aeterni Patris, pp. 1—114); cf. also E. Gilson, French and Italian Philosophy, in: A History oi Philosophy, E. Gilson gen.
