Summary/Abstract: This work is not strictly biographical. It is rather part of the study of political ideas with particular emphasis on the aspect of their fluidity and borrowings between different national and linguistic contexts. More specifically, I treat Królikowski as an illustration, albeit at the individual level, of how particular ideas can circulate and transcend boundaries, or, conversely, just how far they can be attributed to certain contexts, countries or discourses. Certain concepts can be anchored so strongly in a particular social environment that any attempt to transplant them to another will come up against an insurmountable barrier. If this is indeed the case, it means that in the history of ideas, alongside fascinating examples of mobility, there are also areas of where something akin to embargoes operate to which specific concepts cannot be applied or brought. Although diametrically opposed, both of these issues - circulation and anchoring - meet in the same field of investigation and can thus be detected using similar research procedures.
