In the history of thought, Tadeusz Kotarbiński is one of the names that keeps being returned to.
The record lists Tadeusz Kotarbiński as Polish philosopher (1886–1981).
Tadeusz Kotarbiński was born at Warsaw in 1886. His recorded nationality is Poland. He studied at Lviv University.
Around the turn of the twentieth century philosophy split into traditions that largely stopped reading one another.
His academic posts were held at University of Warsaw.
The discipline keeps its dead in print, because the arguments are still open.
Recognition followed: Medal of the National Education Commission, Commander of the Legion of Honour, Order of the Builders of People's Poland and Medal of the 10th Anniversary of People's Poland.
That the work was done from Poland matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Tadeusz Kotarbiński died in 1981, aged 95. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
