Dzieje filozofii jako poszukiwanie prawdy. Wojciecha Dzieduszyckiego koncepcja historii filozofii
The History of Philosophy as the Quest of Truth. The Idea of the History of Philosophy in Wojciech Dzieduszycki’s Thought

Summary/Abstract: The history of philosophy and its methodological topics happened to be the important sphere of interests of Wojciech Dzieduszycki. In the history of philosophy he sought what is timeless, true, invariable, so that we qualify as perennial philosophy (philosophia perennis). For Dzieduszycki the inseparable feature of the history of philosophy consist in estimating philosophy itself, in attempting to evaluate it. Truth is the criterion of such evaluation. He comprehended truth as irrelative value: truth always remains truth, with no regard of circumstances or conditions. In the history of ancient philosophy he showed philosophy as the process of bringing human thought closer to truth. He thought that any estimation of a philosophical system was never a final estimation, because truth is accessible for man only in human limited dimension. The estimation of a philosophical system cannot be any absolute estimation, because of the imperfection of human knowledge and its permanent development.
