The paper describes the turbulent relationships between the outstanding but eccentric philosopher Wincenty Lutosławski and the Jagiellonian University in Cracow. Lutosławski had submitted several applications for the Chair of Philosophy at the Jagiellonian University since 1890, but for these were repeatedly turned down. It was only ten years later that he was granted the post of Privat-Dozent (assistant professor) at the Chair. Soon, however, his lectures began to arouse a great deal of controversy: Lutosławski failed to follow the previously submitted topics, he dressed and behaved in a strange way, and a lot of people from outside the university were allowed to attend the lectures. In 1900 Lutosławski was diagnosed by two university psychiatrists as suffering from psychosis, which led to his suspension by the Faculty Council. The philosopher made renewed attempts to appeal from the decision by sending letters to the rector of the university and the dean, but that only aggravated the conflict. In 1908, after another refusal to reinstate his right to lecture, Lutosławski demanded that his name be struck off the university's list of Dozents, which the university authorities duly complied with.

Feliks Koneczny’s ideas in history and philosophy of history are well-known in today’s world. Since the 1990s many researchers have devoted their interests and studies to that very matter. They have written a lot about the issue. Yet there hasn’t been even one thorough biography of that outstanding scholar based on an in-depth archival query. It was the author’s research conducted in national and foreign archives, that finally provided the answer to the hitherto unexplained, mysteries concerning Feliks Koneczny. Feliks Koneczny (1862-1949) graduated from the Faculty of Philosophy at the Jagiellonian University in Cracow and began work as an office senior lecturer at the Academy of Arts and Sciences; since 1897, he worked at the Jagiellonian Library. After Poland regained its independence, he became an assistant professor in 1919. In June 1920, after he had qualified received the degree of doctor habilitatus, he became a professor of the Stefan Batory University in Vilnius. After having retired in 1929, he came back to Cracow. His interests moved from purely historical research to the philosophy of history, religion and philosophy. Dureing the Second World War his two sons were killed by the Nazis, and part of his house was occupied by German co-tenants. His pioneering works dealing with the history of Russia. As well as his theory the evolution of civilizations are among his greatest achievements. Foreign researchers and scholars, among them Anton Hilckman, Arnold Toynbee and Samuel Huntington widely draw upon Koneczny’s works and achivements. In 1948, after sixty years of research work, Koneczny calculated that his written scholarly output encompassed 26 volumes, each of them being 300 to 400 pages long, not to mention more than 300 articles, brochures and reprints. Although a lot of Polish scholars can boast of having completed more works than he had not many Polish historians can prode themselves on such an enormous scape of research, which included anthropology, sociology, philosophy, theology, ethnology, psychology, economics, history and law. This list, impressive as it may be, fails to do justice to the moral and personal dimension of his work. This loner by choice was the creator of Polish philosophy of history, a major Catholic thinker, a university professor and humanist in the most significant sense of the word.

The author has presented in the article the analysis of leading 20th century thinkers’ viewpoints on war, peace and security. In the introduction he briefly characterised conditions of creating and developing the world’s polemologic and irenologic thought and differentiated two basic stages in its evolution, the borders of which were marked by the dates of both world war ends. The publication focuses on conducting the review of attitudes in basic security issues (war and peace including) of such distinguished world scholars as Bertrand Russel, Sigmunt Freud, Erich Fromm, Karl Jaspers, Max Weber, Max Scheler, Helmuth Plessner and Florian Znaniecki. Certain conclusions and generalisations have been presented in the final part of the article, drawing particular attention to the need to spread universal ideas and all-human values (human rights and freedom) in modern world, exposing, however, the necessity to respect cultural - civilisation differences in the name of universal pluralism and international peace.
