Seminar of the Historians of Polish Philosophy is a cyclic academic meeting which gathers philosophers and historians of philosophy who focus on the history of philosophy in Poland. 11th edition of this seminar<\/a> was held in Cz\u0119stochowa at Philosophy Department of Jan D\u0142ugosz University on May 15th-16th, 2023, and it was focused, not surprisingly, on the topics of war and peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two A\u03a6R members delivered their papers there. Adrian Habura’s paper was not directly devoted to the reception of ancient philosophy, for he focused on the first edition of W\u0142adys\u0142aw Tatarkiewicz’s (1886-1980) work O szcz\u0119\u015bciu<\/em> [Analysis of Happiness<\/em>] (1947), and took an attempt to analyse the content of the book and search for the topics related to war issues to determine possible origin of each chapter, that is, to divide the chapers into two groups: those composed by Tatarkiewicz before the outbreak of the World War II and those compose after it.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Tomasz Mr\u00f3z, in turn, presented a largely unknown biography of a 20th century Polish researcher of Florentine neo-Platonism. His presentation had a long title: Bohdan Kieszkowski (1904-1997): a Researcher of Renaissance neo-Platonism and His Career Destroyed by the War (with the materials collected by Professor Czes\u0142aw G\u0142ombik)<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Kieszkowski published his works in Polish, Italian and French, and edited Conclusiones <\/em>by Giovanni Pico della Mirandola (Geneve 1973). His opus vitae<\/em> was the book Platonizm renesansowy<\/em> [Renaissance Platonism<\/em>] (Warszawa 1935), subsequently published in Italian as Studi sul platonismo del rinascimento in Italia<\/em> (Firenze 1936). His studies were discussed mostly in Poland, Italy, France and Spain, but existing sources allowed only to reconstruct his biography to the first years after the World War II.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Materials collected by prof. C. G\u0142ombik (1935-2022) from family archives shed some light on Kieszkowski’s life on an exile in France. He was meeting there his former supervisor from the University of Warsaw, W. Tatarkiewicz, who was able to visit Paris several times in the sixties and considered Kieszkowski to be his best student. The letters from Tatarkiewicz to Kieszkowski’s sister, Wanda, reveal the facts concerning the details of a difficult life of a scholar on the exile. To Tatarkiewicz’s disappointed Kieszkowski was considering a turn in his focus from Renaissance studies to military history, yet he was very compassionate about his former student because he was aware of Kieszkowski’s physical and psychological limitations, resulting from his war and after war experiences. His legs, for example, were severely injured by German air raids already in 1939, he narrowly avoided amputation and throughout his life he experienced the negative effects of this until the end of his life. Communication between Tatarkiewicz and Kieszkowski was also affected by the fact that the former’s hearing was impaired and the latter spoke very quietly, as if he was afraid that someone could overhear them. Nevertheless, Kieszkowski’s works on Renaissance Platonism won recognition in the academic world and it is an interesting task to research their reception and impact.<\/p>\n\n\n
