Witwicki was also the creator of the theory of cratism,[6][7] theory of feelings,[8][9] and he dealt with the issues of the psychology of religion,[10] and the creation of secular ethics.[11] He was one of the initiators and co-founders of Polish Philosophical Society.[12] He is one of the thinkers associated with the Lwów–Warsaw school.[13]

Background

Władysław Witwicki was the fifth child of Urszula Witwicka, born Woińska (niece of the Metropolitan Archbishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Lviv, Łukasz Baraniecki), and Ludwik–Filip Wasylkowicz Witwicki,[14] as well as father of Janusz Witwicki, the creators of the Plastic Panorama of Old Lviv.[15]

He graduated from the University of Lviv, was a student of Kazimierz Twardowski.[1][16] He also studied at the University of Vienna (under the direction of Alois Höfler) and at the Leipzig University (under the direction of Wilhelm Wundt).[17] He lectured at the University of Lviv and became a professor at the University of Warsaw (1919–1948).[18][19]

Works

Witwicki is the author of the first Polish textbooks on psychology.[20] He also collaborated with other philosophers. For instance, he worked with Bronisław Bandrowski to develop a model of psychology based on Franz Brentano's theory on phenomenology. It included an analysis of Edmund Husserl's Theory of Content and the Phenomenon of Thinking.[17]

In the comments to his own translation of the Gospels of Matthew and Mark – Dobra Nowina według Mateusza i Marka[21] (The Good News according to Matthew and Mark [pl]) – Witwicki challenges the mental health of Jesus. He attributed to Jesus subjectivism, increased sense of his own power and superiority over others, egocentrism and the tendency to subjugate other people,[22] as well as difficulties communicating with the outside world and multiple personality disorder, which made him a schizothymic or even schizophrenic type (according to the Ernst Kretschmer's typology).[7][23]

Artistic activities

Witwicki illustrated books (including his own translations), created watercolors, etchings, woodcuts, bookplates. He designed magazine covers, cast plaster busts, sculpted, reviewed exhibitions, presented artists' profiles.[24][25] He helped to his son Janusz on the creation of the Plastic Panorama of Old Lviv.[26] He gave lectures and wrote articles about art, he was the author of textbooks for visual artists: Wiadomości o stylach (Messages about styles), O widzeniu przedmiotów. Zasady perspektywy (About seeing items. Principles of perspective), Anatomia plastyczna (Plastic anatomy).[25][27][28]
