Stanis\u0142aw Kami\u0144ski<\/strong> \u2013 a Polish priest of the Siedlce diocese (in the Podlasie region), a philosopher, methodologist, historian of logic and science, a logologist. He was born on 24 October 1919 in Radzy\u0144 Podlaski, and died on 21 March 1986 in Freiburg im Breisgau (Germany). In 1938 he graduated from the secondary school (bishop\u2019s secondary school) in Siedlce and he took up philosophical and theological studies at the Theological Seminary of the Siedlce diocese (Podlasie) in Jan\u00f3w Podlaski. The school was closed in 1939 and reopened in 1941 in Siedlce. In 1946 he was ordained priest. The same year he started his philosophical studies at the Faculty of Christian Philosophy of the Catholic University of Lublin. During that period, in 1947 he started didactic work teaching logic at the Faculty of Law and Social Sciences. Then, in 1949, at the Faculty of Christian Philosophy of KUL he obtained the doctor\u2019s degree based on the doctoral thesis \u201cFregego dwuwarto\u015bciowy system aksjomatyczny zmiennych zdaniowych w \u015bwietle wsp\u00f3\u0142czesnej metodologii nauk dedukcyjnych\u201d [Frege\u2019s Bivalent Axiomatic System of Task Variables in the Light of the Modern Methodology of Deductive Sciences<\/em>]. From 1950 he worked as an assistant professor at the Faculty of Christian Philosophy of KUL. In 1957, on the basis of his scientific achievements and the dissertation \u201cO pocz\u0105tkach indukcji matematycznej\u201d [On the Beginnings of Mathematic Induction<\/em>], he obtained the degree and the post of a docent (the qualification procedure for that post was not obligatory at that time), and then he became the head of the Chair of Logic and Methodology of Sciences. In 1965 he obtained the degree of an associate professor, and in 1970 \u2013 full professor. As a professor, and also as a dean, he was connected with the Faculty of Christian Philosophy of KUL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his scientific research he dealt with issues such as: history of logic (this area of science was explored in his promotion works: \u201cFregego dwuwarto\u015bciowy system aksjomatyczny zmiennych zdaniowych w \u015bwietle wsp\u00f3\u0142czesnej metodologii nauk dedukcyjnych\u201d [Frege\u2019s Bivalent Axiomatic System of Task Variables in the Light of the Modern Methodology of Deductive Sciences<\/em>] and \u201cO pocz\u0105tkach indukcji matematycznej\u201d [On the Beginnings of Mathematic Induction], methodology of sciences (his main work was the book entitled \u201cPoj\u0119cie nauki i klasyfikacja nauk\u201d [The Concept of Science and the Classification of Sciences<\/em>]  published several times), methodology of metaphysics and other areas of philosophy understood in classical terms (he described the types of philosophy and carried out the typology of philosophical methods), as well as the theory and methodology of theology (he differentiated between the theology perceived as rationalisation of the Revelation and as revelationisation of human knowledge).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is considered to be the co-founder of the Lublin school of classical philosophy in which he developed the methodological and metaphilosophical reflection. The methodology of classical philosophy which he developed with Mieczys\u0142aw Albert Kr\u0105piec OP, was a unique undertaking in the world\u2019s philosophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
