Biography



W. Julian Korab-Karpowicz is a philosopher and political thinker, professor at Zayed University in Dubai and Lazarski University in Warsaw. He received his doctorate at the University of Oxford. In the early 1980’s, he was a student leader in Poland’s Solidarity movement, and was then awarded a scholarship of the Leadership Development Office of the Presbyterian Church (USA). He is the author of five books, including On the History of Political Philosophy (Routledge, 2016).

The Tractatus is a remarkable and illuminating book that should be widely read. It discusses a number of important ideas that can contribute to the betterment and positive evolution of humanity.’ - Professor Wendell O’Brien, Morehead State University, USA

This thoughtful book is a guide for anyone inquiring about a positive world change. The contents are organized so that they're easy to recognize and assimilate. I am truly impressed by the book.’ - Professor William Auden, Western Connecticut State University, USA

The book is one of the most distinguishing titles in political philosophy that I have read in the last few years. It is equally important for academicians, political activists and lovers of human dignity. Korab-Karpowicz has boldly gone to the heart of our today's concerns and opened up a contemporary discourse to the exciting possibility of human evolution.’ - Professor Dilipkumar Mohanta, University of Calcutta, India
