A. Szaniawski Livres

Klemens Szaniawski's life journey reflects a profound commitment to philosophy amidst the turmoil of World War II. Born in Warsaw in 1925, he studied under notable philosophers while participating in the Polish Home Army and enduring imprisonment in Auschwitz. After the war, he pursued advanced studies, focusing on French moral thought and medieval concepts of honor. Szaniawski's academic career flourished, leading to his role as a professor and head of the Department of Logic at Warsaw University, where he faced challenges from governmental authority.

This book emerges from a 1986 symposium exploring the connections between the Vienna Circle and the Lvov-Warsaw School, featuring discussions from around thirty participants. It includes contributions from a subsequent symposium at the University of Manchester, along with specially written papers for this volume.
