Abstract

Jan Franciszek Drewnowski (1896-1978) was a philosopher counted among the Lviv-Warsaw school, co-founder of the Krakow circle (along with Rev. J. Salamucha, Fr. JM Bocheński, B. Sobociński), an officer in the Polish army (a participant in world wars and 1920), an employee of technical publishing houses. Drewnowski got his doctorate from T. Kotarbiński, his unrivaled master was Stanisław Leśniewski. He was one of the first students of Leśniewski's academic lectures. He studied at the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Warsaw: mathematics, mathematical logic and - as it was called then - scientific philosophy. It was there that he met Fr. Jan Salamucha, who impressed Drewnowski with his scientific erudition, and with intellectual honesty directed him from atheism to Catholic mysticism. In this way, Drewnowski entered the group of intellectual converts of the 20th century, which is also important for his achievements.
