Władysław Biegański

Władysław Biegański (28 April 1857 – 29 January 1917) was a Polish medical doctor, philosopher and social activist.

In his fifth year of study, he wrote a thesis for the competition organized by the Faculty of Philosophy, Comparison of the teachings on the ideas of Lock and Leibniz.

He held the office of the director of the municipal hospital (until 1907), which he reorganized and transformed into an important medical and scientific centre of the region.

In Częstochowa he conducted scientific work, away from Polish academic centres, which meant that he was called "a professor without a cathedral."

He wrote several textbooks, including: Differential diagnosis of internal diseases (1891), Lectures on acute infectious diseases (1900-1901), General issues in the theory of medical sciences (1897), Logic of medicine (1894, supplemented in 1908 and published as the Logic of medicine, i.e. the principles of general methodology of medical sciences, in 1909 in Germany).
