Abstract

This article consists of memoirs of two associates of late Fr. Andrzej Maryniarczyk, a Polish Salesian priest and a renowned representative of the Lublin Philosophical School. These recollections are but a part of a greater pool of insights, testimonies and reflections delivered at a conference in Zamość that commemorated the third anniversary of the Lublin philosopher’s untimely death. Robert T. Ptaszek recalls Fr. Maryniarczyk as a colleague and mentor, impacting his own academic career. Maciej B. Stępień remembers the last four years of Fr. Maryniarczyk scholarly activity, filled to the brim with efforts to bring the legacy of the Lublin Philosophical School to the English-speaking audience. The two dreams they discuss are the metaphilosophical works of Stanisław Kamiński, successfully published in English before Fr. Maryniarczyk passed away, and the Universal Encyclopedia of Philosophy (UEP, the English translation of the Polish original), whose editorial team was appointed and assembled by the Editor-In-Chief just days before he was gone.

Keywords:
