A series of conferences called Seminars of Historians of Polish Philosophy continues and develops. The latest edition (the 13th) was organised in Toru\u0144 by the Institute of Philosophy of the Nicolaus Copernicus University on May 28th-30th, 2026. The title of the meeting was Polish Historiography of Philosophy. Methods – Problems – Representatives<\/a><\/em>. The members of Ancient \u03a6ilosophy Reception research group were obviously present there. It should be only briefly mentioned here that the 12th edition<\/a> of the Seminar took place in May 2025 in Zielona G\u00f3ra, and the initiative came from A\u03a6R.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Those were Tomasz Mr\u00f3z and Adrian Habura who represented Institute of Philosophy (UZ). Both their papers were presented in the panel New Sources for the History of Polish Philosophy<\/em>, and both were focused on various aspects of the same archival material. This material cosisted of excerpts, reports and notes taken by Bohdan Zawadzki (1902-1966, photo on the right) from lectures delivered in Warsaw in the early 20’s of the 20th century by W\u0142adys\u0142aw Tatarkiewicz (1886-1980). They remained unknown before Habura’s short research visit<\/a> in Vilnius.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The paper by T. Mr\u00f3z was titled Bohdan Zawadzki’s reports from W\u0142adys\u0142aw Tatarkiewicz’s lectures on Greek philosophy<\/em>. Mr\u00f3z made a general presentation of Zawadzki as a student of W\u0142adys\u0142aw Witwicki (1878-1948) in Warsaw and a professor in Vilnius, and his relations to Tatarkiewicz. Then he focused on the manuscript materials and the representation of Plato in them. His conclusion was that even a preliminary analysis of Zawadzki’s notes, especially in parts devoted to Plato, demonstrates that Tatarkiewicz as a lecturer of Greek philosophy was still influenced by his studies in Marburg and he had provided his students with much richer material than he later included in volume I of his History of Philosophy<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A. Habura, in his paper titled Two images of Aristotle in W\u0142adys\u0142aw Tatarkiewicz’s works in the light of Bohdan Zawadzki’s notes<\/em>, examined a more detailed issue related to Zawadzki\u2019s manuscripts. A starting point of his paper was a distinction between the two \u201cimages\u201d of Aristotle that Tatarkiewicz developed before the WWII. The first was the result of his doctoral studies in Marburg (1910), while the second was included in his History of Philosophy<\/em> (1931). An analysis of these two \u201cimages\u201d leads to the conclusion that, although they are formally different, they do not differ so much in the content. Zawadzki\u2019s manuscripts from Tatarkiewicz\u2019s lectures are valuable in this case, because they allow to demonstrate that in the 1920s, while writing his History of Philosophy<\/em>, Tatarkiewicz\u2019s studies on Aristotle were more developed than they appeared until now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participation of both scholars in the Seminar was sponsored from the funds of “Small Grant<\/a>” (UZ).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
