Władysław Witwicki

Władysław Witwicki (30 April 1878,[1] Lubaczów – 21 December 1948,[2] Konstancin)[3] was a Polish psychologist, philosopher, translator, historian (of philosophy and art) and artist. He is seen as one of the fathers of psychology in Poland.[4][5]

Witwicki was also the creator of the theory of cratism,[6][7] theory of feelings,[8][9] and he dealt with the issues of the psychology of religion,[10] and the creation of secular ethics.[11] He was one of the initiators and co-founders of Polish Philosophical Society.[12] He is one of the thinkers associated with the Lwów–Warsaw school.[13]

Background

Władysław Witwicki was the fifth child of Urszula Witwicka, born Woińska (niece of the Metropolitan Archbishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Lviv, Łukasz Baraniecki), and Ludwik–Filip Wasylkowicz Witwicki,[14] as well as father of Janusz Witwicki, the creators of the Plastic Panorama of Old Lviv.[15]

He graduated from the University of Lviv, was a student of Kazimierz Twardowski.[1][16] He also studied at the University of Vienna (under the direction of Alois Höfler) and at the Leipzig University (under the direction of Wilhelm Wundt).[17] He lectured at the University of Lviv and became a professor at the University of Warsaw (1919–1948).[18][19]

Works

Witwicki is the author of the first Polish textbooks on psychology.[20] He also collaborated with other philosophers. For instance, he worked with Bronisław Bandrowski to develop a model of psychology based on Franz Brentano's theory on phenomenology. It included an analysis of Edmund Husserl's Theory of Content and the Phenomenon of Thinking.[17]
