Professor Adam Synowiecki, throughout his professional life, emphasized the importance of studying philosophy as a foundation for understanding the world. He believed that ignorance, both in the humanities and in the natural sciences, poses a serious threat to the development of society. His conviction about the inseparable connection between knowledge and the knowing subject is a central motif of this monograph. Synowiecki argued that the context of discovery cannot be separated from the context of justification, which means that social and existential factors have a significant impact on the scientific process.

The thought of Nicholas of Cusa, whose writings Professor Synowiecki translated and commented on, is an important point of reference for the reflections contained in this collective work. The Cusan philosopher, theologian, and mathematician, in his works, addressed issues related to the nature of cognition, the limits of human reason, and the relationship between God and the world. His concepts, such as docta ignorantia (learned ignorance), are an inspiration for the search for truth and overcoming intellectual barriers.

This monograph is not only a collection of essays but also a testament to the intellectual passion and commitment of Professor Synowiecki. It is an invitation to dialogue and reflection on fundamental questions about knowledge, science, and human cognition. This book will surely interest students, scientists, and all those who want to broaden their intellectual horizons and explore the mysteries of the universe.
