Julian Edwin Zachariewicz – philosophical paths of an intellectual form former Galicia

Abstract

This article presents a forgotten Polish intellectual Julian Edwin Zachariewicz (1883– 1939?). He was a son of famous Polish architect Julian Oktawian Zachariewicz. He was educated in former Galicja's schools in Lwów and Chyrów. He studied philosophy and many other disciplines mainly in Lwów and Berlin. He worked as a writer and journalist but he also made some contributions to philosophy. He was interested mainly in science-religion relations (e.g. E. Haeckel's monism). This paper investigates a role of philosophy in Zachariewicz's articles and correspondence (with famous thinkers: K. Twardowski, A. Einstein, W. Wundt, M. Grabmann). This article also shows interesting Zachariewicz's cooperation with a Polish Philosophical Society.
