Polish philosopher. After graduating from Lvov University, he studied in France. He defected to the Soviet Union during World War II. After the war, he returned to Poland and became a professor at the University of Lodz, then at the University of Warsaw, and from 1957 he also served as director of the Institute of Philosophy and Social Sciences of the Polish Academy of Sciences (he resigned in 1968).

Philip Schaff

1819‐93
Swiss-born American theologian. After studying at various universities in Germany, he moved to the United States and became a professor at the German Reformed Theological Seminary in Mercersburg, Pennsylvania (1844) and later at Union Theological Seminary in New York (1870). His contributions were to introduce the American church to Europe, and to leave behind a wealth of material in the fields of church history, doctrinal history, and theology, so that American Christianity would recognize itself as part of the history of the entire Christian church and global Christianity.
