His social and scientific work coincided with a difficult time in Poland’s history. He started working in Kraków already in times of partitions, only to perform ministerial functions in successive governments in free Poland. After sanacja comes to power, Łopuszański abandons politics and continues pedagogical work by implementing the so-called Rydzyna experiment. After the Second World War, he contributes to pedagogical discourse, if only with his words, writing a special appeal to the Polish nation.
