Leopold Blaustein

His philosophical works are based on a combination of phenomenology and the analytical approach of the Lwów-Warsaw School of logic.

Blaustein's magnum opus, Die ästhetische Perzeption, was completed in 1939[6] but was lost during World War II.

[2] Blaustein was also one of the first to recognize the educational role of the cinema, treating it as a cultural institution capable of altering the views of its audience.
