J��zef Innocenty Maria Boche��ski was one of the most colourful figures of the 20th century Polish emigration. His eventful biography would have been suf��ficient to endow with it several people ��� Dominican father, logician, historian of philosophy, sovietologist, army chapla��in, pilot and traveller, renowned lectu��rer and valued preacher, he was one of the most original and outstanding Po��lish intellectuals. As a scholar, lecturer and publicist he left a vast legacy. Tho��mism was a starting point of his acade��mic journey (under supervision of Fr. Ja��cek Woroniecki), later on he devoted himself to logic and analytic philosophy. He described himself as a rationalist, analyst and exponent of objectivity. This rationalist trait was characteristic of Fr. Boche��ski - he perceived all problems and issues through the lens of philoso��phical realism, cognitive objectivity and, in his earlier writings, from the stand��point of Thomism with its basic me��taphysical categories. In his analyses Boche��ski made Ari��stotelian realism his point of departure, claiming that a man as a person is essen��tially a social being because of his spiri��tual nature. A human being is a social being both in a negative (���a man as a person cannot live without society be��cause his full development will be im��possible to achieve without it���) and po��sitive sense (���man is adapted to society, coexistence and cooperation with other people���). These bonds and relationships are so strong that sociability constitutes an essential feature of human nature.
