Philosophia

Iudicia et opiniones a Darowski prolata continentur presertim in libris Filozofia człowieka (5 editio in lingua Polonica, 2015, summaria in linguis Anglica et Gallica) et Philosophical Anthropology, 2014. Eius philosophia inspirationem sumit in traditione Aristotelica et Thomistica. Sed respectum habet etiam ad recentiores et nostri temporis tendentias in philosophia, potissimum personalistas et axiologicas et in certo sensu etiam dialogicas (cf. Philosophical Anthropology, imprimis cap. “Human Being as a Dialogical Being”, p. 123–126). Nec vitat novas aquisitiones scientiarum vitalium (life-sciences), quas integrare satagit cum philosophia (cf. ibidem cap. “Human Corporeality” (p. 38-43) et “The Origin of Human Being” (p. 95-99). Eius reflexiones, praesertim in suis studiis primis, non pauca prae se ferunt descriptionis elementa methodo phaenomenologicae propria.
