Mąstymo Reikšmės Interpretacija Pirmajame Juozapo Goluchovskio Traktate
Interpretation of the Significance of Thinking in the First Tractate by Józef Gołuchowski

Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes the tractate “An outlook on Mathematics through its influence on human education” (Ansicht des Einflusses der Mathematik auf die Bildung des Menschen) written by Józef Gołuchowski – a philosopher of Polish origin, who briefly taught at Vilnius University in the early 19th century. The statements of Gołuchowski on the importance of mathematical thinking are compared with similar ideas in Kant, Fichte, Schelling and Schiller. It is recognized that features of Romantic philosophy are only of fragmented character in the tractate. The importance of feeling compromising the role of reason and intellect has not been enhanced, rather the necessary harmony of all cognitive capacities has been accentuated.
