Summary/Abstract: The article constitutes the second part of the text devoted to the historiography of Wiktor Wąsik’s ‘Polish philosophy’. The author of the two-volume History of Polish Philosophy understands the ‘Polish philosophy’ as a philosophy distinct from the philosophy of other nations. In the first part, I have presented W. Wąsik’s biography and his scientific bibliography as well as his understanding of basic concepts in the historiography of philosophy used in his work. In this part, I’m discussing his research technique, his research and the presentation of the results of his lecture. The professor, being convinced of the dependence of philosophy on culture, and wishing to reflect the specificity and distinctiveness of the philosophy in Poland, often uses the elements derived not from philosophy but from culture. Thus, the question arises whether he remains within the scope of philosophy.
