Bronisław Trentowski

He developed an interest in philosophy, became an assistant professor at Freiburg University and remained there to the end of his life.

[2] He published his first work in 1837 in German, but from 1842 he wrote only in Polish, beginning with Chowanna, czyli system pedagogiki narodowej jako umiejętności wychowania, nauki i oświaty, słowem wykształcenia naszej młodzieży (Chowanna, or the System of National Pedagogy as the Science of Education and Instruction, in a Word, of Educating Our Youth).

From 1840 Trentowski wrote for Tygodnik Literacki (The Literary Weekly), Rok (The Year), Biblioteka Warszawska (The Warsaw Library) and Orędownik Naukowy (The Spokesman of Science).

He had the same speculative mentality; the same maximalist aspirations in philosophy and conviction that "God had destined [him] for the complete reform of learning, and through it the rebirth of society.

One-sided to him were realism and idealism, objective and subjective points of view, experience and mind, empirical and metaphysical knowledge.
