About Józef Tischner
|
| |
Józef Tischner (1931-2000) was one of the most eminent contemporary Polish philosophers. He was the founder and dean of the Krakowian Papal Academy of Theology and lectured at the Jagiellonian University and the State High School of Theatre in Krakow. He wrote and published more than 600 articles and books. Józef Tischner was an exceptional moral authority and, at the same time, one of the most famous, brilliant, and beloved figures in Polish public life. He was Solidarity's first chaplain. Professor Tischner was a founding member, president, and non-resident permanent fellow of the Institute for Human Sciences.
