Summary/Abstract: The value of national culture is determined by a level of the personal culture of its rep-resentatives. One of the eminent individuals of the Polish nation is Jacek Woroniecki (1878-1949) – Dominican, theologian, philosopher, and educator in one person. A characteristic feature of Woroniecki’s intellectual life is uncommonly wide spectrum of approached issues. It makes impossible to qualify him as the representative of a nar-rowly understood specialization. Multithreads of Woroniecki’s works find their reason in a deep symbiosis between his social involvement and his scientific life. He noticed the need of social care about the education of youth, especially on the higher level. He also warned the well-educated against a cultural regress and encouraged them to the permanent, intellectual, and moral formation. Jacek Woroniecki underlined a responsibility of the Polish Catholic intelligentsia for the future of Church and their homeland.
