About Stanisław Brzozowski (writer)
- Stanislaw Brzozowski (28 June 1878 – 30 April 1911) was a Polish philosopher, writer, publicist, literary and theatre critic.
- Considered to be an important Polish philosopher, Brzozowski is known for his concept of the philosophy of labour, rooted in Marxism.
- Besides Karl Marx, among his major inspirations were Georges Sorel, Friedrich Nietzsche, Henri Bergson, Thomas Carlyle, and John Henry Newman.
- Brzozowski's core idea was based on the concept of a socially engaged intellectual (artist).
- Although he was in favour of historical materialism, he strongly argued against its deterministic interpretation.
- In his philosophical approaches, Brzozowski rejected all concepts that were commodifying a human being. Polish intellectuals (Czeslaw Milosz, Andrzej Walicki, Leszek Kolakowski) have stressed that Brzozowski's interpretations of Marx's early writings, not widely known at the time of their formulation, largely anticipated those presented later by György Lukács and Antonio Gramsci.
