The record lists Aleksander Świętochowski as Polish philosopher (1849–1938).
Aleksander Świętochowski was born at Stoczek Łukowski in 1849. His recorded nationality is Poland.
The nineteenth century produced systems on a grand scale, and then the reaction against them.
The recorded fields of work are opinion journalism, drama and literature.
A philosophical position survives not by being proved but by resisting every attempt to dispose of it.
That the work was done from Poland matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Aleksander Świętochowski died in 1938, aged 89. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
