Edward Abramowski

Sociology

Edward Abramowski (1868 to 1918) was a Polish philosopher, libertarian socialist, anarchist, psychologist and supporter of cooperatives, and one of the best known activists of classical anarchism in Poland. Born in Stefanin in the Kiev Governorate, he moved to Warsaw as a boy, took part in the Paris gathering of Polish socialists in 1892 and is regarded as the founder of the Polish cooperative movement, for which he started the magazine Spolem in 1906. Influenced by Leo Tolstoy, he called himself a state-rejecting socialist in his main work, Socialism and the State, and his later thought leaned toward anarcho-syndicalism built on cooperative organization of labour. In 1915 he took a chair in experimental psychology at the University of Warsaw, where he studied the subconscious until his death in 1918.
