Kazimierz Twardowski was renowned as an outstanding philosopher, teacher, and organizer of academic life. No less famous was his style of work, depicted in many recollections of his students. In the paper, I present three aspects of good mental work: a) stoic inspiration for Kazimierz Twardowski's style of work, b) the place of the techniques of mental work in the program of pragmatic logic according to the views of Kazimierz Ajdukiewicz and Tadeusz Kotarbiński, and c) selected contemporary approaches consistent with the direction provided by the Lvov-Warsaw School. By exploring a new perspective in the study of good mental work by linking it to the ancient philosophy of life as well as to the most recent developments in the theory of good mental work, the paper reveals unexplored insights into the tradition of the Lvov-Warsaw School, demonstrating its significance, depth, and relevance to modern times.

This article deals only with the effect that Twardowski evoked in LWS by his teaching and organizational activities.…”

Lviv‐Warsaw School (LWS) promoted philosophical culture project in society. Key values of this project were worldview, moral ideal, self cognition and critical thinking. LWS also attached great importance to the idea of university. LWS representatives contributed to solving the problems of the ideal university and its autonomy, academic freedom and communication, as well as place and importance of philosophy in university studies. Such issues as idea of university and philosophical culture are among main problems in philosophy of education. The aim of this article is to examine solving of these problems by LWS and thus, to argue that LWS has its philosophical conception of education. The first part of the paper arranges elements of LWS philosophical cultures, based on works of its members. It also reveals that, according to representatives of LWS, a worldview is a pointer in human life and a basis for scientific worldview; moral ideal is associated with moral autonomy and ethical creativity; self‐cognition is a natural desire of humans to cognize their “I”; criticism is a human ability to demonstrate independence of his or her ideas. The second part of this paper discloses the framework of LWS’s idea of university, based on its representatives` works. It shows that, according to them, unity of research and study is a timeless spiritual value of university; university autonomy is a prerequisite for highest spiritual benefits; academic freedom and communication is a prerequisite for meeting the ideal of university; philosophy is either a worldview or a science. The article is an extension of the article “Philosophy of Education in Lviv‐Warsaw School. Twardowski’s and his Students’ Philosophical Conceptions of Education”. Filozoficzne Problemy Edukacji. 2020 (3). This article analyses LWS’s contribution to philosophy of education through both Polish and Ukrainian branches.
