Abstract

The article is primarily concerned with the first three decades of the 19th c. but it also refers back to the origins of the (reformed) University of Krakow, and to the times of activities of the Committee of National Education. It discusses historical events connected with the functioning of the university, and the philosophy and pedagogy taught there. In those times the lectures were based on the then novel assumptions found in foreign manuals. The title of the article is a paraphrase of the title of Rev. K. Jaroński's lecture: 'What kind of philosophy do Poles need?' - delivered a year after the University of Krakow was once again able to lecture in the Polish language. The text places particular emphasis on the essential connection between pedagogy and philosophy which is the source of necessary axiological fundamentals for the former. At that time, in Krakow there was a heated 'debate about Kant', the best known and accepted argument being that presented by 'the Scottish school' or realistic 'common sense philosophy'.
