Tadeusz Słobodzianek

Le récit de l'horreur des camps ; de l'horreur successif d'Auschwitz, de Natzweiler-Struthof, de Dachau. Tadeusz Borowski l'aura vécu et y aura survécu seulement parce qu'à son arrivée à Dachau, vers la fin de la guerre, on ne gazait plus les Aryens… Ce livre qui regroupe ses deux recueils (L'Adieu à Maria et Le Monde de pierre) décrit la vie quotidienne des camps non pas en suivant le fil des jours, mais bien plutôt en en saisissant certaines scènes…

Tadeusz Baird (1928 – 1981) was a Polish composer. He was born in Grodzisk Mazowiecki, to Scottish immigrant parents. He studied composition, piano and musicology in Warsaw with, among others, Kazimierz Sikorski. In 1956, with Serocki, he founded the Warsaw Autumn international contemporary music festival. In 1974 he began to teach composition at the State College of Music (currently the Music Academy) in Warsaw.
Baird's music is usually lyrical, very expressive, and intensely subjective. It is often rooted in the post-Romantic tradition, despite serial techniques.

The book introduces Tadeusz Kotarbiński’s philosophy of action into the mainstream of contemporary action-theoretical debates. Piotr Makowski shows that Kotarbiński–Alfred Tarski’s teacher and one of the most important philosophers of the renowned Lvov-Warsaw school—proposed a groundbreaking, original, and (in at least a few respects) still fresh perspective in action theorizing. The book examines and develops Kotarbiński’s ideas in the context of the most recent discussions in the philosophy of action. The main idea behind Kotarbiński’s action theory—and thus, behind this book—is the significance of the philosophical investigations of the general conditions of effectiveness, efficiency, and economy of intentional actions. Makowski presents and reinterprets Kotarbiński’s views on these dimensions of our activities and sheds new light on the most important areas of action theory.
