University and Science

Summary/Abstract: From the translator: Leon Petrażycki is known primarily as the founder of the psychological theory of law. Most of his work on this topic is available in the Polish language. There is also some less known work due to its being not translated into Polish until now. Such is the case with University and Science, his vast, counting almost 640 pages, two-volume work. Mostly it contains articles, which Petrażycki published in daily newspapers and the „Prawda” weekly in 1901. By these articles he joined the discussion on the reform of the system of education in Russia. In 1906 and 1907 he reviewed, revised and published these articles. In these articles he raised the issues regarding the role and the tasks of the university. Until now only three not very much detailed elaborations devoted to this up to now little known side of Petrażycki’s work were published in Poland. I hope that this translation will at least partly fill the gap.
