AJust like Henryk Struve said, the history of positivism is a gradual turn from Comte to Kant. When, at the beginning of 1880s positivism in Warsaw goes through a philosophical crisis, there are attempts to save it by expanding epistemology issues introduced from Neo-Kantianism. The influence of Marburg's school on Polish positivists is well known and widely described. In her article, the authoress is concerned with a different aspect of Kantianism; a project presented by the philosopher in 'Critique of Practical Reason'. It is a piece which had never been translated before 1902 or quoted during the period and which surprisingly corresponds with an important trend in the 19th century's reflection on Ethics.
The present paper raises the problem of the Kantian influences in the philosophy of Bierdiaiev. I want to suggest that it is difficult to call Bierdiaiev thought as the Kantian or neo-Kantian. Although many of Bierdiaiev works make reference to the philosophy of Kant, nevertheless not as a systematic presentation, but as a creative transformation of Kantianism.
