Barbara Skarga in Memoriam, Hardback Book

Barbara Skarga in Memoriam Hardback

Part of the Towards a Universal Civilization series

Hardback

Description

This volume is dedicated to Barbara Skarga – her works, profile and biography.

It is a unique character in the Polish intellectual life, but also virtually unknown abroad, except a meager milieu of her readership in France.

Dubbed «the first Lady of Polish Philosophy» for a good reason, she contributed not only to shape of Polish Philosophy but to the style of public debate, too.

The problem areas initiating her philosophy stemmed from the group of scholars called «the Warsaw school of history of Ideas» with its flagship names such as Leszek Kolakowski, Brinislaw Baczko or Andrzej Walicki.

On the other hand, her output originates from the extraordinary and dramatic events of her life.

The philosophical output of Barbara Skarga is thus a proof of continuity and longevity of an important tradition of the 20th century Polish Philosophy.
