Edward Dembowski (31 May 1822 – 27 February 1846)[1] was a Polish philosopher, literary critic, journalist, and leftist independence activist.[2]
Life
[edit]Edward Dembowski was the son of Julia, née Kochanowska, and a conservative castellan-voivode of the Congress Poland, Leon Dembowski. On account of Edward's szlachta origins and contrasting radical social views, he was called "the red castellan's-son."
Dembowski published Przegląd Naukowy (The Learned Review), a journal for young, independence-minded intelligentsia.[citation needed]
In 1842–43 Dembowski conducted underground revolutionary activities in the Russian-ruled Congress Poland. Later, being at risk of arrest by Russian authorities, he transferred to Prussian-ruled Greater Poland.[2]
During the 1846 Kraków Uprising, Dembowski was secretary to dictator Jan Tyssowski. Dembowski died on 27 February 1846 at Podgórze, shot by Austrian troops while leading a procession to conduct agitation among the peasants.[2]
In his philosophical views, Dembowski was a leftist Hegelian.[3]
