What Is Hidden beneath the Translations of Plato’s Dialogues and the Book Twardowski’s Pupil

Abstract

On the basis of the excerpts from Władysław Witwicki’s letters and commentaries on Plato’s dialogues, the manipulation techniques which he had employed are described. Simultaneously, this paper suggests that Andrzej Nowicki, who treated his teacher Witwicki as someone who made a great impact on his personality, adopted and used these techniques in his book Twardowski’s Pupil.
