Summary/Abstract: The article attempts to justify the thesis that Aleksander Usowicz has made contribution to the research on Cracow philosophy, which was developed in two periods: a) between the 15th and 17th centuries, b) at the end of the 19th and the first half of the 20th century. Usowicz was one of the pioneers in post-war history of Polish philosophy, publishing between 1946 and 1949 several important articles, concerning Cracow philosophy (from 15th to 19th centuries). In addition, Usowicz was the leading commentator and interpreter of the philosophical thought of Konstanty Michalski – undoubtedly one of the most important catholic philosophers in the first half of the 20th century
