TY - JOUR A1 - Kuligowski, Waldemar T1 - Review: "Wielka Wojna profesorów. Nauki o człowieku (1912-1923)" / Maciej Górny. Warszawa: Instytut Historii PAN, 2014. ISBN: 9788363352332 N2 - The Polish historian Maciej Górny has set his sights on describing the involvement of Central-Eastern European and Balkan intellectuals in the First World War. His book, entitled Wielka Wojna profesorów (The Great War of the Professors), is devoted to this issue. As it turns out, historians have already given much attention to this so-called "war of spirit" („Krieg der Geister"); however, they have so far concentrated on the involvement of Western European scientists. Górny claims that there is a significant gap in this scope and the possibility to compare successfully intellectuals from the Balkans, Central Europe, and Eastern Europe makes this gap even greater. The scientific as well as social status of such intellectuals, related mainly to public respect, allows for such a comparative analysis.
