Summary/Abstract: The article presents the academic and journalistic activity of the exceptional historian of ideas, researcher of the Polish and Russian socio-philosophical thought of the 19th and 20th c., Professor Andrzej Walicki (15 May 1930–20 August 2020), in the last decade of his life. He authored a few of his own academic biographies. The last one, Idee i ludzie. Próba autobiografii (‘Ideas and People. An Attempt at the Autobiography’), published in 2010, showcases his research until 2009. Despite turning 80 in 2010, he continued his academic work, and the last decade of his life brought new publications, as well as new translations and editions of his works. He was also active in the public debate about politics and science, publishing press articles and giving interviews. This paper is therefore a closure of Andrzej Walicki’s intellectual ‘autobiography.’ The article concludes with the complete list of his publications since 2010, which also serves as the main bibliography of this article.
