A new book published by the Workshops of Culture has just gone on sale — Philosophical Vignettes, a collection of literary sketches and other short pieces by authors representing various fields of the humanities, above all culture, philosophy, and literature.

About the Book

The volume features texts by distinguished philosophers such as Prof. Tadeusz Sławek, Prof. Bogdan Banasiak, and Prof. Piotr Bartula, as well as contributions from Lithuanian art scholar Dr. Basia Nikiforova, the charismatic researcher Dr. Maciej Wodziński, and renowned ethicist and clergyman Rev. Prof. Alfred Wierzbicki.

This intergenerational book — part essayistic, part personal — was created as a dedication to Prof. Jadwiga Mizińska, a Lublin-based philosopher and writer who, for several decades, has inspired and gathered around her numerous friends and creative individuals from Poland and beyond.

Philosophical Vignettes is part of the Zakotwiczone (Anchored) series, which includes titles that explore the challenges of the present and the future while maintaining a deep connection to the past — to the roots, historical context, value systems, and even the subtle threads anchored in a specific time and place.
