| dc.description.abstract | Bolesław Limanowski (1835-1935) joined together, in his activity, the intellectual and recognizable problems with
the ideological and creative ones. He combined closely his research duty with social practice and he gave voice
in public to that. None of other polish intellectuals did the same then.
Limanowski made a vision - how the everlasting individual's and society’s problems should be solved. He expressed
unusual constancy in his views, though he had experienced the events and phenomenon typical of three historical
epochs: feudalism, capitalism and socialist revolution.
Limanowski propagated universal conception of socialism, where the value, justice and equality had a timeless
character. He derived a polish socialism’s program from these features, uniting social needs and independency’s
aspirations. He constructed a project of global, polish society’s change and looked for the justifications for
this project in sociology and in historical researches.
He brought in invaluable values to the polish intellectual culture, that were manifested especially in historical
and sociological justification of the socialism’s development in Poland and in presentation of its close
connection with independency’s aspirations of polish workers. | en_EN |
