Abstract
THE first number of a new international review, Organon, has just been published in Warsaw by the Mianowski Institute. It is printed in French and English although all the authors are Polish, in order that a wide public may become familiar with the progress of scientific thought in Poland. The general character of the new publication can be gathered from the first group of contributions “The Science of Science”, “La Science, la religion et l'art”, “The Man of Action and the Student”, “Documents sur la psychologie de l'invention dans le domaine de la science”, “Science and Scholarship in Poland to the Close of the Sixteenth Century”, “Copernic”, “Organisation de la science polonaise” and “Marja Sklodowska-Curie”. The term ‘science’ is used in the widest possible sense, so that the new review will not be limited to contributions dealing only with the natural sciences. Two of the four historical articles have for their subjects the best known of Polish scientific workers, namely, Copernicus and Mme. Curie. It will be observed that the international character of science is well illustrated by the life and work of Mme. Curie. Polish by birth and French by marriage, her great discoveries were made with material from Bohemia which had been put at her disposal by Austrian authorities.
