Polish Liberal Thought Before 1918

Viac o knihe

Focusing on the historical context of Polish liberalism, this scholarly work challenges the notion that it was weak or absent in the nineteenth century. Janowski presents a compelling argument that Poland's liberal tradition was rooted in a robust protoliberal heritage from its nobility-based democracy. He highlights that, despite the blending of liberal and patriotic aspirations, liberalism emerged as a significant intellectual force during this period, reshaping the understanding of Poland's political landscape.
