TI - Stanisław Brzozowski: Philosophy as biography of thought. A philosophical attempt
AB - 
	This article considers the most important philosophical work of Stanisław Brzozowski, ideas. Introduction to the Philosophy of Historical Maturity, as an opportunity to examine the question of what leads some philosophers to set out their philosophical standpoint in the form of a biography of thought. This article poses the following questions: Why is it that an author’s biography should subordinate reality to philosophical thought? Do we expect an author to render an account of what kind of man he is, and by what path he came to his convictions concerning every philosophical theory? I would like to demonstrate that it is philosophy that needs biographical testimony. Thus biography becomes a place where man develops some orientation in reality,based on past actions that were recorded,the values assigned to events, the significance given to concrete aspects of his own life, and a multitude of minute facts.By creating himself in the biography of his own thought as a particular character, he builds a foundation for himself to plan the future.
