The Lasting Values of Stanisław Staszic’s Educational Views
PL
Trwałe wartości poglądów pedagogicznych Stanisława Staszica
EN
From a very young age till the last days of his life, Stanisław Staszic was occupied by the question of the relationship between God and Nature. In particular, the Polish thinker was interested in the vision of the world in which human life and Nature were seen in unison, in accordance with laws of reason and the outcomes of scientific investigations. His deliberations on Nature validated his monistic worldview, encompassed within a deistic general framework. Staszic pointed out many times that natural order is the creation of God, however, earthly issues are in the hands of humans. In the last years of his life he withdrew from God. He did not accept the Church’s hierarchy, while his approach to the Creator was ambivalent.

The article is devoted to the artistic setting of Stanisław Staszic’s (1755–1826) burial place, for which his main heir, the Warsaw Royal Society of the Friends of Sciences (TKWPN), was responsible. The inspiration to raise this topic was the discovery of two previously unknown Jakub Tatarkiewicz’s designs of Staszic’s unrealized neoclassical tombstone in the collections of the Central Archives of Historical Records in Warsaw (AGAD). However, the projects were never commissioned by TKWPN but were the sculptor’s proposal. By analysing the relationship between these artistic projects and the initiatives concerning Staszic’s tomb which stemmed directly from the Society (a big raw stone as memorial), the article highlights the problem of TKWPN’s participation in creating the posthumous cult of its long-time president and most important benefactor. The TKWPN’s seemingly paradoxical reluctance to glorify Staszic by means of traditional (artistic) forms of commemoration can be interpreted as a logical action calculated to benefit the Society’s image. Therefore, focusing on this single aspect of the posthumous cult of Staszic, directly related to the TKWPN, this article refers to the image-building policy of this institution, and thus to the ways of building its social status. At the same time, it tackles the issue of the prestige of science and scientific patronage as a new (from the early 19th-century perspective) form of public merit.

Artykuł zadaje pytania o niezwykłą popularność Stanisława Staszica (1755–1826), której kulminacją był jego pogrzeb - spontaniczna manifestacja uczuć patriotycznych tysięcy mieszkańców Warszawy. Autor twierdzi, że postać Staszica była postrzegana przez pryzmat działalności filantropijnej, opisuje ewolucję jego wizerunku jako filantropa oraz prezentuje pogłębioną kontekstualizację źródeł tej popularności. The article asks questions about the unusual popularity of Stanisław Staszic (1755–1826), that culminated during his funeral - a spontaneous manifestation of patriotic feelings of thousands Varsovians. The author maintains that the figure of Staszic was perceived by a prism of his philanthropic activity and describes the evolution of his image as philanthropist, offering at the same time a broadened contextualization of the reasons for such popularity.
