The Second Congress on Polish Philosophy

OPOLE – ORLA 2022

The Idea

Philosophy as a pursuit of holistic knowledge about reality is by definition a universal reflection. However, being a field of culture shaped by human beings and having an impact on them, it takes into account not only our general intellectual needs common to all cultures, but also those that result from specific historical experiences and other factors. Therefore, just as there is Polish literature or Polish music that has been formed as something separate from other literatures and musicals arts, there is also Polish philosophy, which is a product of the culture of Poland and has been born and developed by her representatives. To some extent, it expresses the Polish view of the world. It is based on the country’s history during which ideas, aspirations and values specific to Poles have developed. It has grown out of the awareness of the uniqueness of the Polish mind. It is an expression of the wealth of Polish thought. Its greatest representatives are, among others, Józef M. Hoene-Wroński (1778–1853), Józef Gołuchowski (1797–1858), Bronislaw Trentowski (1808–1869), Karol Libelt (1807–1875), August Cieszkowski (1814–1894), Kazimierz Twardowski (1866–1938), Wincenty Lutoslawski (1863-1954), Kazimierz Ajdukiewicz (1890-1963) and Roman Ingarden (1893-1970). We should remember this unique philosophical tradition, examine it diligently, search for inspiration it may give us for our contemporary thought and make sure it finds the right place in the history of world philosophy. We should take the effort to promote its further development.
