Comment   "That was old" is often a sure sign of (a) an enemy of humanity (usually for the sake of some microscopic personal advantage) or (b) a dupe who has been fooled by the former. (The latter might amount to the majority of people but one cannot help it other than by such remarks as this one).

    Comment   Occasional ambiguities or discrepancies sometimes apparent within the sundry authors on his national 'identity', one notes that during the times Copernicus lived such concept as 'nationality' was hardly known at all ; (it rather dates from the 19th century) ; the main parts of his life had been spent in what constituted the state of Poland and the association with the Polish tradition seemed/seems natural. By some accounts he spoke German, but I do not have any reliable exact documentation. Did he know Polish ? This seems possible but I do not know. The language in the University of Cracow was Latin, in which the lectures were given and the treatises were being written. The population of the city was a mixture of Poles, Germans, almost certainly some Jews, probably some Armenians, possibly some Scots, etc. (The elements were changing from century to century but the preceding groups seem to have been present much of the time). The linguistic factors in Cracow were also changing from time to time and this is a subject of a special study. (It seems to me that Aleksander Brückner was exceptionally well informed ; was he infallible I do not know.) Copernicus had later also studied in Italy. Some of the information seen on-line does not seem reliable but one does not know whether some pieces are just "biased" in some way or are incorrect. (The sources of rickety bits can be any).
    Wincenty Lutosławski, The Polish Nation, gives that it was by the efforts of the Polish Prince Jabłonowski that Copernicus' work was removed from the "expurgatory" Index (which detail I have not yet confirmed independently).
    Nota Bene   Copernicus had never claimed that the Sun is the center, or at the center. He had stated (in my own words) : If we postulate the Sun at the center of the system, then we can create better (more expedient) mathematics. — (WPT).

* Jan Łaski (1499-1560).   A Polish Protestant banished from the Catholic England — that was not written by Bishop Spooner : a curious detail of the changing times.

A friend, to an extent a patron, of Desiderius Erasmus, Jan Łaski was one of the pioneers in a trend with considerable influence.

Briefly stated : the cultural developments in the 15-17 centuries Poland had radiated onto the 17th-century Russia (see the Collegium Mohilaneum) ; via Holland and/or England onto the 18th-century America (see B. Franklin, T. Paine, J. Priestley, T. Jefferson, J. Madison, etc.) ; and onto the 19th-century Germany (see the educational policies). The several (three) probably in the descending order of the scope of possible influence. WPT.

* Marcin Bielski (1495?-1575).   It was from Poland that almost all of the Latin civilisation had been got in Russia. (Some propagandists would have tried to promulgate something like the converse idea, the average person in the US, for example. is likely to be misinformed. The importance of this is not negligible : who knows what is really going on in the present-day Russia ? Not I. One need not insist with such propositions but by Poland, the Key to Europe R.L. Buell had placed a title on the goods over there which can point out a useful short-cut to understanding the region without omitting anything relevant. Confer also Pares.) — (WPT).

"Although Greek culture was much better fitted for such a r�le, Russian men of letters began to have recourse to Latin civilization and to study Latin books . . .  By degrees some notions on formal logic, some dissertations of Aristotle on natural science, expounded in this spirit, some treatises of Thomas Aquinas on justice and other topics, and some works on history, for instance, the chronicle of Martin Byelsky, penetrated into Russia." (Alexander Lappo-Danilevsky, The Development of Science and Learning in Russia, in Russian realities & problems, ed. by J. D. Duff, Cambridge : University press, 1917).

The Chronicle of Bielski was in Polish, the "dissertations of Aristotle on natural science" also was a translation from a Polish text, so far as I know. (WPT).

* Andrzej Modrzewski (1503-1572).   vel Modrevius. Also Frycz-Modrzewski, author of De republica emendanda, etc. (Basileae : Per Ioannem Oporinum, 1559), etc.

Note, "The humanistic and individualistic spirit of the Renaissance was not quite unknown to the Russians of the 17th century. . . .  For instance, Russian translation of the treatises of Vesalius on anatomy and of Mozhevsky [i.e. Modrzewski] on politics prove that this movement was beginning to penetrate into literary circles at Moscow." (Lappo-Danilevsky, in Duff, 1917).

Some Remarks on the Theory of Evolution

Please do not get darwinned in, the reader — so to speak.

There has never been any 'revolution' on this subject — though there may have been many a row over it. One can perhaps say with some accuracy that there has been the evolution of a theory (or a number of similar theories).

Some ideas of developments (as this subject was initially called) have been present in practically every culture within the known human history.

What is being more particularly known as the Theory of Evolution is due, in parts, to Leibnitz, Lamarck, Buffon, Lyell, Spencer ; A. N Wallace, H. Bergson, etc. etc.

One man's theory is not another man's theory. Each worker on the field had proceeded from unique premises. No animalistic (Darwin, perhaps more so T.H. Huxley but I do not know) or, worse, 'materialist' creeds are necessarily involved in a Theory of Evolution. (This is usually part of the seen controversies — which have seldom much to do with science and often have little to do with true religion).

The "conflict" between the 'creationist' and the 'evolutionist' usually stemmed from the merest abuse of language. Please note that the respective imports of 'to create' (something) and 'to evolve' (something) while capable of distinction do not imply a dichotomy or opposition.

The question has been, who, or what, does the creating — or the evolving. Common sense answers have been often supplanted by appeals to Authorities. Each and every one Authority admits of various interpretations ; and the condition would often degrade down to some "they" against "us", other issues being usually present.

(That the 'natural selection' does it makes very poor sense or no sense at all — I seem to have seen this blunder repeated by some of the best-known authors. A 'selection' is not an agent or agency.)

Please note that any of the theories of evolution are usually descriptions, of possible states of affairs, rather than hypotheses which could be tested by experiment. What use arguing over something that may have been largely true, with many data supporting a theory, which can be somewhat certainly attested but which cannot be tested as a matter of some practical application ?

Some more recent research indicates that the propositions by Słowacki or some similar ones can yet be taken for the premises of one's philosophy (at least to my satisfaction). Please keep, not arguing but researching, the reader. — (WPT)

* August Witkowski ( 1854 - 1913 ).   Physicist, philosopher. "In 1884 he became a professor at the Lvov University of Technology and in 1888 at the Jagiellonian University in Krak�w. In the years 1892-1912 he published his 3-part book entitled "The principles of Physics". (Source of the data : http://www.v-lo.krakow.pl/english/patron.html )

�A long way from Zurich [where Einstein had published his first paper on relativity in 1905], in the University of Cracow, a Polish professor, Witkowski, exclaimed on reading the article : �A new Copernicus has been born.�EHe roused enthusiasm in one of his pupils who later became a remarkable physicist. This your professor, Loria by name, spoke of Einstein�s article to other colleagues . . .  Einstein?—the name meant nothing to his colleagues. The professor talked with such fervor to the German physicist Max Born that they went to the library to look for the 1905 Year Book of Physics�E[in which the paper in question was printed], etc. (A. Vallentin, The Drama of Albert Einstein Garden City, N.Y. : Doubleday, 1954, pages 48-9.)

Comment     I see no trace anywhere of "The Principles of Physics" by A. Witkowski, as given by the site as above (which seems reliable). Other evidence, such as the altogether differen sources used by me, does suggest that Witkowski was a scientist of some stature.
    He was the teacher of Gino Loria, had known Max Born, his opinion had been thought important enough to be mentioned in a biography of Einstein written by a personal friend of the latter — and many years later. These data suggest that he could have very well published a work on physics of considerable importance. And why is there no trace of such work anywhere ?
    This is not a matter for the 'specialist' — I am frankly warning you, the reader. This may apply to non-Polish as was as to any Polish for the phenomena have to do with international science. (There are patterns to such strange phenomena).
    In the meanwhile : baloney upon baloney upon baloney is being "researched" and published, what of it of any importance at all is very often inaccurate. (Let alone plain fabrications or forgeries which are not at all rare in the libraries. You have been warned, the reader.)
    Unless there had been no such author at all, which would imply that Einstein and his biographer were committing an 'intellectual' fraud ; or that the copy I have to hand is forged. But the copy seems authentic, Ive seen no pattern of misconduct with Einstein (whatever some of his associations) and neither he nor his biographer would have any apparent reason to invent a Professor at the University in Cracow circa 1905 who did not in fact exist.
    And where is the 'specialist' ? to enlighten me on this ? If the book is not listed in the libraries no 'specialist' will know anything about it and will "research" some other authors (and some of those you can find in the libraries, the reader, did not in fact exist. I do know what I am talking about ) ; may some more people other than I, not necessarily �specialists�E take notice of this author and his work. — (WPT).

"WESTERN EUROPE has hitherto lacked any satisfactory account of Russian literature as a whole : . .  Of the few who had studied this in the country itself and had entered into the spiritual life of a people that differs in so many ways from the Western Europeans, none seems to have been capable of playing the interpreter. It is perhaps natural that, when found, the interpreter should prove to be a Pole . . .   His interpretation was addressed in the first place to Germans, but is sufficient for any Western Europeans."

    The biography also contains mentions of Albert Thomas, the �socialist�Efriend of Kerensky ; Einstein was very enthusiastic about that man Thomas. It was from A. Thomas that some data had been got by the Russian prosecutors on the crimes by Lenin and his group in April 1917. Thomas himself may be largely respectable but the entire scene had been the target for infiltration ever since the Bolsheviks had started ruining Russia. Einstein himself had got duped in the 1940�s to join a communist front organization in the US. (Unless he was a Soviet mole himself but I do not see any indications to such an effect.

Note   An article had been published in the USA 1950's, by an usually reputable writer, linking this author with some Bolshevik Revolution (1917-18) literature parts of which were of questionable authenticity, and parts of which were plain fabrications. That article had left me entirely incredulous, the published documentation does not at all "add together", some supposed personal motives contradicting one another, etc. The relevant documents in the possession of the US Government were said to have at some time disappeared, then were unexpectedly found in some office in Washington, exactly during the high tide of the Soviet infiltration in the US. The author of a Lenin, the God of the Godless would be a natural target for the marxist-leninist criminals, and disinformation was practically the only thing those people really knew how to do ; all this is in imminent need of clarifications and other actions towards containing and hopefully ending that plague once and for all. — (WPT).

Comment   I have read the above referenced work and in it found mentioned a text published in German as Nietzsches Polentum — which could be a version of this text, or its straight translation into the German.

Mentioned was also a journey by the author to Germany, in the company of S. Przybyszewski, which included meeting and conversations with F. Nietzsche's sister Elisabeth. I think another publication, Nietzsche und Chopin might have been mentioned (but would not vouch for this ; I have no copy with me presently). Certainly there were some remarks about the work on Nietzsche by Georg Brandes in Denmark, including that author's familiarity with Szarlitt's research.

* Władysław Witwicki (1878-1948)  

Mark Very Well   The reader : I for one have already met enough persons who, if confronted with what they had never heard about assume that you do not know what you are talking about.
    I gather that W. Witwicki was student of Kasimir Twardowski — who was also teacher of J. Lukasiewicz, S. Lesniewski, etc., etc. This entire line : If you have not ever heard about this the reader, you are in the danger of extinction ; quite literally so. No force in the Universe will save you unless you begin to see what is going on. And that is exactly what some persons or parties want, of you to remain ignorant.
    I have seen enough evidence of professorial futility to find myself somewhat uneasy about what is this all going to lead to. (This applies to the reader who had never heard of the line I am mentioning. This includes the non-Polish reader insofar as the work of Lukasiewicz and Lesniewski be considered ; Witwicki wrote mainly in Polish and the international importance of his work might be relatively less).

Note This was published in England by Charles Kay Ogden as part of his International Library, etc ; translated by Arthur P. Coleman ; that there was another translator involved seems doubtful. It had been also published in New York by Harcourt, Brace, etc. ; is also listed in the catalogues in connection with somebody's thesis at the Columbia University. The last connection seems obscure. This certainly was not somebody's dissertation at an American university. Please note this item, the reader, for the subject has fundamentally to do with your or my obtaining the right knowledge.

There are other titles, of much later dates, listed in the catalogue of University of California, uniform with this one, i.e. 'the limits of science' — by some other authors. This does not look regular ; please obtain (or safeguard) an original edition, and preferably a copy published in England, of The Limits of Science by L. Chwistek.

Whether this text might contain some revelations in 2006 I would not vouch. This might be an average quality scientific text of the time (perhaps better than average ; I have not read it so I cannot proclaim much in that respect. I know some other works by this author). It is the circumstances of its publications, the exact facts thereof, and the plentiful ramifications, historic, personal, inter-national, that may make for an especially signal importance. — (WPT). ]

Note

These developments have been severely, not entirely, interrupted by (a) the Stalin-Hitler "nonaggression" pact in 1939 and the ensuing war, (b) the departure in 1950 of Count Korzybski in the U.S., (c) the onslaught after 1945 of the marxist-leninist propaganda not only in the Soviet Bloc so-called but every where was possible, notably including the U.S.

In such circumstances, numerous "old" texts by certain authors may contain much (or at least some) material which is not in the least antiquated — which yet might be seldom (or never) found in the more recent publications. (WPT)

* Maria Patkaniowska.

Note   Linguist in the Poznan University, author of numerous titles. She had cooperated with Charles Kay Ogden and had published a Polish version of text on Ogden's Basic English.

A copy of that text was listed in the New York Public Library and was actually avaliable there sometime in the 1980's (by my own inspection). It is not presently listed by that library nor by the libraries in California.

Please note the Polish connections with C. K. Ogden : A. Korzybski had endorsed O's work (there was some correspondence between the two but Ogden was not interested in collaboration which K was proposing) ; Maria Patkaniowska ; and Leon Chwistek whose Granice Nauki was published as The Limits of Science in the International Library etc. series, of which Ogden was the principal editor.

(Chwistek is also prominently featured in The Nature of Mathematics by Max Black which also was published as part of Ogden's International Library.)

Please note that Ogden was also responsible for the original translation of Tractatus by Ludwig Wittgenstein ; this does connect with some parts of Korzybski's Science and Sanity (Please see Index for Wittgenstein).

(By the way: Let me also inform you that by my reading the 2nd (ca. 1959) translation of that work (Tractatus by Wittgenstein) is at some places clearly botched and I should prefer not to say right here what exactly I do think about that second translation electing to remain silent for the sake of good taste.)

Incidentally, the work by Max Black also connects with Wittgenstein. The former (i.e. M. Black) had prepared the index to one of the editions of the Tractatus (which is acknowledged by Ogden) and was perhaps the most dedicated follower of Wittgenstein in the USA of the period.

(C. K. Ogden had also translated from the German some works by H. Driesch and H. Vaihinger. All these materials remain at least partially relevant in 2006. Ogden had also done several translations from the French which I have not yet seen.)

I do not particularly promote Ogden's Basic English ; but there is no reason whatever that a text by Maria Patkaniowska on this subject should disappear from the catalogue of the New York Public Library, etc. (No average text of that period simply disappears out of sight in the normal circumstances. I should make a special call here to any Polish researcher : please mind what is happening world-wide, even if you are in the middle of some zascianek issues.)

Please note, the reader, all of the above. And please do not wait for more valuable books to disappear — of which there can be many instances seen, but rather safeguard what has been and what can remain valuable.

(Do not fall prey to some "new" materials which often, not always, consist of what had been stolen from the "old" ones and distorted). Alas, where's the good taste. But complacency on such matters can be deadly. — (WPT).

Comment : parts of this work may be antiquated, parts may be unnecessary, parts may be debatable, parts may be questionable. On the other hand, if you want to know what was really going on in science, etc., in those years, you must own a copy.
    Reluctantly : I would question the new index containing new entries collated with the original index — which was apparently compiled by Korzybski himself. His own hand would show what he had himself considered 'essential'. Please, expand the index, but make some "Additional Index Notes" (or so) separate so that the reader can know what was A. K.'s selection of the entries by his own estimation. — (WPT).

Note on Sergiusz Piascki

Piasecki, Serginsz, 1901-1964. Title Lover of the Great Bear. Publisher London, G. Routledge & sons, ltd. [1938] Description xiv, 427 p. 22 cm. Note At head of title: Sergiusz Piasetski. "First published in England 1938." "Translated from the Polish by John Mann." [University of California]

This was published in Polish, in Poland, Towarzystwo Wydawnicze Rój, 1937 ; several editions. In Polish in London, Gryf, 1947.

I see no evidence of there having been a translation ; (thought I do not know ; please, tell me, the expert). The Translator "John Mann" (no dates) does not look convincing.

I'm skeptical :

Piasecki, Sergiusz. Title Der Geliebte der grossen Bärin; Roman. [Aus dem Polnischen von Günter Walzel] Publisher Köln : Kiepenheuer & Witsch, [1962] Description 420 p. Note Translation of Kochanek wielkiej niedzwiedzicy. Language German [University of California]
