Marian Ciszewski

Rev. Dr. Hab. Marian Ciszewski, Associate Professor at the Department of the History of Modern and Contemporary Philosophy of the Faculty of Philosophy, Catholic University of Lublin, has dedicated his career to medieval philosophy, emphasizing the synthesis of Platonic and Aristotelian traditions in Christian thought. His research spans the reception of Aristotle and Plato in the Middle Ages, microcosm theory, and the intersection of science and theology.

• Education: Theology (Salesian Major Seminary, 1967), Library Studies (Łódź, 1963), Liturgical Study (Kraków, 1968), Philosophy (Catholic University of Lublin, 1971, thesis on George of Trebizond's 'Christian Aristotelism').
• Doctorate (1983) on Cardinal Bessarion's interpretation of Plato and Aristotle, habilitation (1995) on Franciszka de Sylvestris' concept of soul immortality.

Marian Ciszewski's publications include critical editions of medieval texts (e.g., David of Dinant's fragments) and analyses of key figures like Albertus Magnus and Thomas Aquinas. His work explores how medieval scholars reconciled pagan philosophy with Christian doctrine, particularly through microcosm-macrocosm analogies, theological eclecticism, and the role of medicine in philosophical discourse.

His 15 most recent articles trace trends in medieval cosmology, ethics, and the Copernican revolution's philosophical underpinnings. Students mentored by him include prominent medievalists like R. Andrzejewski and E. I. Zieliński. No scientific awards or part-time affiliations are mentioned.
