Lubelsko-warszawski okres w rozwoju naukowym Haliny Taborskiej i jej zainteresowania estetyką angielską
The Lublin-Warsaw Period in Halina Taborska’s Scientific Development and Her Interest in English Aesthetics

Summary/Abstract: Halina Taborska, the former rector of the Polish University Abroad in London, studied Polish philology and philosophy, and focused her scientific interests on English aesthetics. She wrote her doctoral thesis on this subject under the supervision of Professor Władysław Tatarkiewicz. She published articles, reports, and reviews on English aesthetics and other Western scholars in such magazines as the “British Journal of Aesthetics” (an organ of the British Society of Aesthetics) , "Aesthetics", "Studia Estetyczne", and "Przegląd Humanistyczny". In English periodicals she published papers related to the scientific achievements of Władysław Tatarkiewicz, Roman Ingarden, and other representatives of Polish science. The development of research on English and Western aesthetics in general brought this important philosophical current closer to the Polish scientific community on the other side of the Iron Curtain in a period made difficult for ideological reasons. In the future, her scientific interests came closer to the pedagogy of culture.
