Summary:The year 2020 marks the 25th anniversary of the death of the outstanding Polish scholar, historian of logic, and philosopher, Józef Bochenski (1902-1995). He belongs -- besides John Paul II and Roman Ingarden and three other historical figures -- to patrons of the year 2020 in Poland. Józef Franciszek Bochenski became a Dominican and, in the order, took the name Innocenty Maria. After World War Two, Bochenski, like many Polish philosophers associated with the Lvov--Warsaw school, lived in exile, in his case in Fribourg, Switzerland. The most important of his works were originally published in German. Due to his criticism of Soviet thought, none of his works could be officially published in the countries of the Eastern Block before 1989. As Wojciech Gasparski highlights, Bochenski "was not only a theorist, but also a well-known political expert, a man of strong personality and faith."
