| ARTICLES RELATED TO Gdansk | | | |  Gdansk: Encyclopedia II - Rumia - HistoryThe village of Rumia was first mentioned in 1224 when it was awarded by Świetopełk II, later duke of Eastern Pomerania to the Cistercian convent in Oliwa (today part of Gdańsk). At this time the name of Rumia was applied also to the neighbourhoods of Janowo (=John's Place) and Biała Rzeka (=White River). Zagórze, Kazimierz and Łężyce, which are today part of Rumia, originally were separate villages, and were joined with Rumia in 1934 to form Rumia Rural Commune. Rumia was a church property until the first partition of Poland, when it was confiscated by the Prussian government. In 1285 Mestwin II, duke of Pomerania stopped ...

| | | | | | | Gdansk: Encyclopedia II - Gothic architecture - Characteristics The style emphasizes verticality and features almost skeletal stone structures with great expanses of glass, sharply pointed spires, cluster columns, flying buttresses, ribbed vaults, pointed arches using the ogive shape, and inventive sculptural detail. These features are all the consequence of a focus on large stained-glass windows that allowed more light to enter than was possible with older styles. To achieve this "light" style, flying buttresses were used as a means of support to enable higher ceilings and slender columns. Many of these features had already appeared, for example i ...

| | | | | Gdansk: Encyclopedia II - Willard Van Orman Quine - Work Quine's Ph.D. thesis and early publications were on formal logic and set theory. Only after WWII did he emerge as a major philosopher, by virtue of seminar papers on ontology, epistemology, and language, By the 1960s he had worked out his "naturalized epistemology," whose aim was to answer all substantive questions of knowledge and meaning using the methods and tools of the natural sciences. Quine roundly rejected the notion that there should be a "first philosophy," a theoretical standpoint somehow prior to natural science, and capable of justifying ...

| | | | | | | Gdansk: Encyclopedia II - Willard Van Orman Quine - Life Time of My Life (1986) is his autobiography.
Quine grew up in Akron, Ohio. His father was a manufacturing entrepreneur, his mother a schoolteacher. He received his B.A. in mathematics and philosophy from Oberlin College in 1930, and his Ph.D. in philosophy from Harvard University in 1932. His notional thesis supervisor was Alfred North Whitehead. For the next four years, his appointment as a Harvard Junior Fellow excused him from having to teach. A traveling fellowship enabled him to spend 1932-33 in Europe, where he met the young Alfred Tarski and other Polish logicians, and members o ...

| | | | | | | | Gdansk: Encyclopedia II - Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth - Economy The economy of the Commonwealth was dominated by feudal agriculture based on exploitation of agricultural workforce (serfs). Typically a nobleman's landholding comprised a folwark, a large farm worked by serfs to produce surpluses for internal and external trade. The peasantry's situation worsened from the late 17th century on, when the landed szlachta sought to compensate for falling grain prices by increasing the peasants' workload, thus leading to the creation of second serfdom, ...

| | | | | Gdansk: Encyclopedia II - Law and Justice - History The party was created on a wave of popularity gained by Lech Kaczyński, while heading the Polish Ministry of Justice (June 2000 to July 2001) in the AWS-led government, although local commitees began appearing from March 22, 2001). The AWS itself was created from a diverse array of many small right-wing political parties. According to a claim by the US federal government funded International Republican Institute (IRI), the IRI itself played a significant role in uniting these parties to create the AWS, the "parent" party of both PiS and the PO. [8]
In the 2001 elections PiS gained 44 (of 460) seats in the lower chamber of the P ...
