Chapter: “Russia” (excerpt)
Andrzej Walicki (1930 2020) was a Polish historian and a professor at the University of Notre Dame. He specialized in philosophy of sociopolitics, history of Polish and Russian philosophy, Marxism, and liberal thought. He was one of the scholars who formed the “Warsaw school of the history of ideas.”
Angelina Weimann: “Walicki made a detailed study of Russian philosophy. It was not always well received because Poland, due to historical facts (the Russian partitions, Stalin’s regime, the USSR), is not an ideal place for the study of great Russians. However, thanks to Russia, many Polish scholars, including Sorokin’s teacher, Leon Petrażycki, received an excellent education and would become international scholars.”
