“…Born in 1925 to a Jewish family of Poznań, he was ‘thrown’ into a Poland teeming with nationalist radicalism, a context in which everyday acts of exclusion and persecution were the norm. Still, as the recent works of Izabella Wagner (2020) and Peter Beilharz (2020) show, there is an ineliminable singularity at play here.

“…It was as if he was chasing the object of his theoretical interest. While his work was strongly influenced by both his Polish experience and his English experience of solid modernity after the Second World War, he was also by his vocation guided by hopes and fears for the future and its possibilities (Beilharz, 2020; Wagner, 2020).…”
