Polish Universal Encyclopaedia of Philosophy

[edit]

The document http://ptta.pl/pef/reviews.pdf at Polskie Towarzystwo Tomasza z Akwinu has quite interesting things to say about the Universal Encyclopaedia of Philosophy. According to Dr Kazimierz Wójcik (the managing editor): it is a special concern of its Editors to bring to light and to promote Polish philosophical thought ... Promoting this contribution is an obligation of the editors and co-workers of the Encyclopedia towards the Polish nation. Well, thats hardly news. Poles are busy promoting each and everyone as Polish. -- Matthead  Discuß   00:54, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, what this says is that the purpose of the Enc is to make Polish philosophers known to the world, not to turn non-Poles into Poles.radek (talk) 01:11, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
