Nieukończony doktorat Tadeusza Micińskiego o nieśmiertelności duszy w filozofii Platona
Tadeusz Miciński’s Unfinished Doctoral Dissertation on Soul Immortality in Plato’s Philosophy

Summary/Abstract: The subject of the article is a dissertation by Tadeusz Miciński who attempted to obtain the degree of doctor of philosophy under supervision of a philosopher Wincenty Lutosławski, a worldwide famous Plato’s dialogues scholar. The thesis referred to the problem of soul immortality and was never completed. The remaining handwritten fragments are initial parts of the dissertation and include the supervisor’s remarks and translations of small excerpts of “Dialogues” done for the purpose of the paper. The article presents the history of a complex relationship between Lutosławski and Miciński, consisting of, inter alia, Miciński’s help in Lutosławski’s language statistics calculations, and subsequent Lutosławski’s criticism of Miciński’s poetry. The analysis of the available handwritten fragments allows for a revision and specification of some of the opinions on Miciński’s translational history effects and Platonic inspirations in his poetry.
