Italian translation of Tischner’s ‘Historia filozofii po góralsku’

cover of the book

A translation of Fr Jozef Tischner’s most famous book, Historia filozofii po góralsku (“A Goral History of Philosophy”), has been published in Italy. The publication of the Italian translation was supported by the Book Institute as part of the ©POLAND Translation Programme.

The Italian edition of the book is entitled ‘La filosofia greca raccontata dai montanari polacchi’ and was published by the Castelvecchi publishing house. The author of the translation is Tadeusz Sierotowicz.

A Goral History of Philosophy is a book in which Father Józef Tischner invites the reader to think and, in the process, tries to explain the origin of philosophy in the history of mankind. The role of the Greek philosophers is played in his storytelling by more or less well-known inhabitants of Podhale. Tischner’s most popular book is also somewhat of a love letter to the Polish mountains and the Gorals – because of its subject matter, but also because it is written in the Goral dialect.
