Krystyn Lach Szyrma (17 December 1790, Wojnasy; 21 April 1866, Devonport, Devon) was a professor of philosophy at Warsaw University. [1] He was also a writer, journalist, translator and political activist.
Szyrma was professor of philosophy at Warsaw University from 1824 to 1831. He left no philosophical writings. [2]
Szyrma was one of nearly all the university professors of philosophy in Poland before the November 1830–31 Uprising who held a position that shunned both Positivism and metaphysical speculation, affined to the Scottish philosophers but linked in certain respects to Kantian critique. [3]
