Edward Dembowski

Edward Dembowski (31 May 1822 – 27 February 1846)[1] was a Polish philosopher, literary critic, journalist, and leftist independence activist.

On account of Edward's szlachta origins and contrasting radical social views, he was called "the red castellan's-son."

Dembowski published Przegląd Naukowy (The Learned Review), a journal for young, independence-minded intelligentsia.

[citation needed] In 1842–43 Dembowski conducted underground revolutionary activities in the Russian-ruled Congress Poland.

Dembowski died on 27 February 1846 at Podgórze, shot by Austrian troops while leading a procession to conduct agitation among the peasants.
