This publication was financed within the frame of the Minister of Science and Higher Education programme: "Monuments of Polish philosophical, theological and social thought of the 20th and 21st century", conducted in 2016-2020. Project no. 0033/FIL/2016/90.

"The series Polish Christian philosophy in the 20th century presents thought of prominent representatives of this trend, who thought their intellectual achievements substantially influenced the contemporary culture. The philosophy inspired by Christianity played a crucial role in support and development of the Polish humanities under conditions of limited freedom of scientific research that they were faced with in the second half of the previous century. Philosophical thought of some authors is familiar and widely analyzed in the world, while other thinkers' output still remains undiscovered. Hence, it can now become a focus of research and a source of intellectual inspiration."--Back cover.
