Roman Wapiński came from an educated family; he finished secondary school in Częstochowa and historical studies at Warsaw University in the years 1951–1955. He combined his academic interests with social involvement, the sign of which was his active participation in the Polish United Workers’ Party. He started work in Higher School of Pedagogy in Gdańsk in 1955, where he quickly became one of the distinguished academics who influenced the development of academic environment and the school. He held important social and administrative positions as a prorector in Higher School of Pedagogy and later at Gdansk University; for over 17 years he was the head of the Institute of History. He left the Polish United Workers’ Party in 1980. In Gdansk he initiated the research of most recent history of Poland, undertaking the issues of the nationalist movement and ideology in Pomerania, and in Poland in the 20th century. His achievements in this area led to the revision of the judgements and opinions based on ideological grounds. He was one of the initiators of team research on the Polish political thought and culture of the 19th and 20th century and became one of the most competent experts in this research area. He published 21 monographs and about 450 articles and other works. He promoted 36 doctors and gave his opinion on over 150 applications for the habilitation qualification and professor’s title. Owing to his outstanding achievements he was elected a member of the Polish Academy of Sciences and the Polish Academy of Learning. His rapid academic advance was connected with his participation in editorial committees of the most important Polish historical journals, important positions held in scientific councils and institutions conducting the scientific policy of the state both during the time of the People’s Republic of Poland and after the breakthrough of 1989–1990.

W twórczości naukowej Profesora Romana Wapińskiego (1931–2008) poczesne miejsce zajmowała biografistyka historyczna. W tym nurcie Jego pisarstwa mieszczą się m.in. biografie trzech ważnych postaci polskiej sceny politycznej pierwszej połowy XX stulecia: Władysława Eugeniusza Sikorskiego, Romana Dmowskiego, Ignacego Jana Paderewskiego, liczne biogramy umieszczone na łamach Polskiego Słownika Biograficznego, monografie poświęcone świadomości politycznej i generacjom pokoleniowym w Drugiej Rzeczypospolitej, politykom polskiej sceny politycznej XX wieku. Analiza treści poniższego artykułu sprowadza się do konstatacji przyjmującej formułę głównej tezy badawczej (identyfikuje się z nią Roman Wapiński), że walory poznawcze tego gatunku pisarstwa historycznego wymagają dalszych badań naukowych, idą w parze z uznaniem: „jego obywatelstwa, wraz z dostrzeganiem przydatności niektórych jego odmian dla badań zachowań i losów większych zbiorowości […], poza tym, nie tak chyba rzadko jest to jedyna droga do powszechniejszej edukacji historycznej”. Artykuł powstał na podstawie wyselekcjonowanej literatury przedmiotu. Specyfika omawianego zagadnienia oraz artykulacja problemu badawczego w naturalny sposób rzutowała na dobór i charakter zastosowanych metod badawczych. W tekście posłużono się elementami metody analizy dyskursu, analizy tekstu, historycznej, diachronicznej. Z zastosowanych technik badawczych najbardziej przydatna okazała się analiza świadectw myśli politycznej, której istotą jest wnioskowanie na podstawie zgromadzonych i odnoszących się do podjętej problematyki badawczej materiałów źródłowych.

In the scientific work of Professor Roman Wapiński (1931–2008), a prominent place was occupied by historical biography. This stream of his writing includes among others biographies of three important figures of the Polish political scene in the first half of the twentieth century: Władysław Eugeniusz Sikorski, Roman Dmowski, Ignacy Jan Paderewski, numerous biographical notes published in the Polish Biographical Dictionary, monographs devoted to political awareness and generational groups in the Second Polish Republic, politicians of the Polish political scene in the twentieth century. The analysis of the content of the following article boils down to the statement, which takes the form of the main research thesis (Roman Wapiński identifies with it), that the cognitive values of this genre of historical writing require further scientific research, and go hand in hand with the recognition of: “its citizenship, together with the recognition of the usefulness of some of its varieties for studying the behaviour and fates of larger communities […], besides, it is probably not so rare that this is the only way to more widespread historical education”. The article is based on selected literature on the subject. The specificity of the issue in question and the articulation of the research problem naturally influenced the selection and nature of the research methods applied. The text uses elements of discourse analysis, text analysis, historical and diachronic methods. From among the applied research techniques, the most useful turned out to be the analysis of the testimonies of political thought, the essence of which is to draw conclusions on the basis of source materials collected and relating to the undertaken research problem.
