Władysława Witwickiego koncepcja relacji między nauką a wiarą

Abstract

The paper describes intellectual heritage of W. Witwicki and analyses his major works dealing with the relationship between science and religion. The author points out how the methodology of positivism that prevailed in the 1930’s influenced Witwicki’s critique of religion. This critique is assessed in this paper from the standpoint of the contemporary philosophy of sciense. Both unlimited trust in epiricist data and uncritical belief in rationality of science are called into question.
