Stanislaw Staszic (1755-1826) was a follower of the French geological school of the second half of the 18th century. The main inspiration for his studies was Buffon's book entitled 'Les époques de la nature' (1778). He translated this book into Polish and published thrice (in 1786, 1803 and 1816), always including his own foot notes that concerned the Polish territories' geology.Since 1781 he was engaged in reconnaissance of Alpine, Apenine and Carpathian area, and European Lowland. His main work was a book of 1815 entitled 'O ziemiorodztwie Karpatów i innych gór i równin Polski' (Carpathian and Other Polish Mountains' and Plains' Geology). The composition included a geological map of Central Europe and presented a geological profile of the territories spreading over the distance from Carpathian to Baltic area. On the area he distinguished 6 stratigraphic points that partly converged A. G. Werner's assignations. In his earliest writings (since 1803) Staszic declared for fossil volcanicity on Polish territories. Later, he declared for its existence in South - Eastern Carpathian area only. His stratigraphy based on lithological assumptions mainly, though he appreciated of fossils' importance. Moreover, Staszic was passionately fond of the big mammals that, in his opinion, descended from the earliest geological age.

Up till now we have run short of the scientific descriptions concerning foreign bursars of the Government of the Grand Duchy of Warsaw and the Kingdom of Poland. Also these considerations are preliminary and just signal research works. The article is to treat of a subject concerning the number of bursars and their introductory description. Thus there were analysed forty biograms of the scholarships' holders, whose biographies are included in Polish Biographical Dictionary (vol. 1- 42), and in three - volume treatise of J. Bielinski, entitled 'Royal University of Warsaw (1816-1831)'.

Life and career activity of Stanislaw Staszic are very closely and widely related to Warsaw, where he spent most of his wealthy life, and on the image of which - indirectly - he left his stamp on. With his various activities he contributed to the transformation of Warsaw during the Congress Kingdom times into a modern and great city. Very essential and inspiring until nowadays has been the fact that Staszic made Warsaw the leading Polish centre of science, which became one of the most important factor in the development of the city.

Mining law project proposed by Stanislaw Staszic in 1819 was intended to regulate official rules of prospecting and extracting mineral resources. Unfortunately, despite a few-years of Staszic's work on it, project wasn't passed by the lower house of Polish Parliament (The Seym) and it remained forgotten for years.

The Enlightenment thought concentrated on the issues (from the very beginning rooted in philosophical tradition) concerning the conditions and requirements connected with a happy life of human being. Thinkers of that time more often used to analyse happiness and satisfaction of the groups and communities where the efforts of particular persons would harmonize with common interest. People of the greatest distinction in the Enlightenment period (Montesquieu, Rousseau, Fontenelle, Voltaire, Diderot, Condorcet) used to allow for different aspects and scopes of the problems included in their conceptions. What interesting, they used to include in their reckoning both individual and common dimensions of happiness. Most popular for the 18th century thought was the existential perspective, which located a discussion over happiness among reflections concerning human nature. Also Stanislaw Staszic paid attention to the issue and took into consideration both common and individual point of view.

The paper is a study designed for the teaching of the history of philosophy in Poland. It deals with the intellectual portrait of Stanislaw Staszic (1755-1826), a learned naturalist, socio-political writer and philosopher. Staszic philosophical views place him within the phliosophy of Enlightenment which, through its preference for empiricism, hence the natural and historical science, is reluctant to metaphysics. In fact, however, Staszic holds thesisses fundamental for Christian outlook, he rationalizes them, especially in the case of the naturalistic analysis of the development of religion. A special place in his writings is occupied by the philosophy of history. It is oriented at education and finds the dynamism of history in the ways one satisfies one's needs. Ethics and economic reflection remain under the influence of utilitarian tendencies of physiocracy in the form of an empirical analysis of laws of nature.
