Wspomnienie o profesorze Andrzeju J. Norasie, badaczu filozofii neokantowskiej.

These considerations discuss the scientific friendship between Tadeusz Kotarbiński and Izydora Dąmbska. They are a "lead" to Dąmbska's letters to Kotarbiński, published for the first time. They both came from Kazimierz Twardowski's Lviv School. After his death, Dąmbska found in Kotarbiński a friend and confidant of her own scientific affairs. She really owed him a lot. And he was very willing to help her. Their cooperation took place both in the years before and after the war. The time of the (...) 1950s was particularly difficult for them, when they had to struggle with the force imposed on Polish philosophy by Marxist ideology. At that time, both of them stood behind their Master from Lviv and defended the values they had learned there. (shrink)

This issue of "Ruch Filozoficzny" is dedicated to Izydora Dąmbska on the 120th anniversary of her birth. In this way, we would like to recall her figure and scientific achievements. It is one of the most important figures in Polish philosophy, originating from Kazimierz Twardowski's Lviv School. Dąmbska was certainly an indomitable philosopher. In the difficult times of Stalinist terror, she stood up for her Lviv Master and the philosophy she had learned there and had to defend.

Polish studies on the philosophy of British empiricism had various courses. Polish studies on Leibniz, Spinoza or Kant were quite advanced, but we know but little about the research on British empiricism. The achievements of the attempts of reconstructing the early reception are rather vestigial. The second part of the article presents early Polish studies into the philosophy of Bacon, Newton, Hobbes and Burke.
