This paper is based on the materials found in the Jagiellonian Library – unpublished manuscripts of Pawlicki’s translations of two works by Descartes. The starting point for the analyses is a short outline of the history of the reception of the French philosopher’s works in Poland. The author also draws comparisons between Pawlicki’s translations and translations of Discourse on the method which are well embedded in the Polish philosophical tradition by Wojciech Dobrzycki (1878) and Tadeusz Boy-Żeleński (1918), as well as Pawlicki’s translation of Meditations with translations of Ignacy Karol Dworzaczek (1885) and Maria Ajdukiewiczowa (1948). Pawlicki worked on his translations between Romanticism and Positivism, when Descartes’ works were in general negatively received. The comparison of these translations and comments on them found in later translations done by Wiktor Wąsik in so called “critical” period will allow one to grasp some developing tendencies in Polish philosophy of the 19th century. This paper will also fill in the gap in the history of Polish philosophy concerning the reception of Descartes’ philosophy in 19th-century Poland.

The article presents the nineteenth-century philosophical dispute between Karol Libelt and Stefan Pawlicki on the subject of anthropogenesis. This was initiated by the archaeological discoveries in Lake Czeszewskie, a part of Libelt’s estate. In fact, the controversy concerned the problem of whether the chronology of human history set out in the Bible could be questioned, or was still relevant. Libelt advocated the overriding importance of empirical evidence, while the conservative position was pursued by Pawlicki. Thus, it was a controversy pitting two worldviews against each other, in which - for both polemicists - archaeology was only a tool to justify their own beliefs. The article discusses the arguments used by both philosophers to defend their positions, and considers how they sought to interpret archaeological discoveries. In conclusion, it assesses the impact that this dispute had both on the philosophers themselves and on Polish science.

Artykuł przedstawia dziewiętnastowieczny spór filozoficzny, jaki na temat antropogenezy toczyli ze sobą Karol Libelt i Stefan Pawlicki. Powodem rozpoczęcia sporu były znaleziska archeologiczne na Jeziorze Czeszewskim należącym do posiadłości Libelta. Spór w istocie dotyczył tego, czy chronologia dziejów ludzkości zawarta w Biblii jest możliwa do podważenia, czy też nadal zachowuje swoją aktualność. Stanowisko o nadrzędności świadectw empirycznych reprezentował Libelt, a stanowisko zachowawcze zajął Pawlicki. Tym samym był to w istocie spór dwóch światopoglądów, w którym dla obu polemistów archeologia była tylko narzędziem uzasadniającym własne przekonania. W artykule została omówiona argumentacja, jaką posługiwali się obaj filozofowie, broniąc swych stanowisk, oraz jak interpretowali odkrycia archeologiczne. W konkluzji został oceniony wpływ, jaki ten spór wywarł na samych filozofów oraz na polską naukę.
