The first European strength–power motivation theory: Władysław Witwicki’s theory and the Lvov–Warsaw School
This article presents the oldest theory of the striving for power in European psychology; it was created in the philosophical-psychological Lvov-Warsaw School which itself derived from the thinking of F. Brentano. Despite humanistic inspirations, the theory represents a biological position close to the evolutionary tradition. The core of the theory of striving for power is the concept of ambition, taken from Greek philosophy (Plato and Aristotle)…
Masochistic love as the game of power in Eastern Europe – Bruno Schulz
Negative sentiment – a rhetorical device to reconstruct relationships of power (between tribal-ancient and new populist leadership)
This article presents the role of negative sentiment as a tool for re-constructing power relationships in socio-cultural relations as intentionally used by political and religious leaders across cultures. Negative sentiment facilitated the symbolic disempowerment of enemies and was an important part of the anti-language for the creation of a new or alternative reality across cultures and times. Irony, contempt and disgust have played a special ro…
Brentano’s psychology and Kazimierz Twardowski School: Implications for the empirical study of psychological phenomena today
Qualitative psychology of the Brentano school and its inspirations (another look at empirical qualitative research)
This article explores a psychological tradition inspired by or originating from Franz Brentano and which played a vital role in the development of qualitative empirical psychology.

Brentano’s psychology directly influenced the emergence of the main schools of European psychology in the first half of the 20th century: the Würzburg Schoo…

Linguistic Image of Non-Christian Jews in Early Christian Narratives as a Function of Inter-Group Conflict (Theoretical Background)
This article is an attempt to apply a modern social psychology thesis to reproduce a linguistic image of non-Christian Jews in chosen narratives taken from the Greek canonical Gospels of the New Testament. In the first century AD, non-Christian Jews and primitive Christians found themselves in a state of growing ideological conflict resulting in marked changes in their social relations and mutual perceptions. While remaining in close connection w…
The problem of mind and mental acts in the perspective of psychology in the Lvov-Warsaw School
The philosophical-psychological Lvov-Warsaw School, derived from the philosophical tradition of Franz Brentano, developed his concept of intentionality for many years in an original way. This is particularly evident in Kazimierz Twardowski’s theory of actions and products and Tadeusz Tomaszewski’s theory of action. Kazimierz Ajdukiewicz’s semantic epistemology is also an important yet unfinished achievement (though less related to the issue of in…
