Today in Labor History August 17, 1861: Edward Józef Abramowski, Polish philosopher, psychologist, and libertarian socialist was born. Considered the founder of the Polish co-operative movement, Abramowski also served as chair of Experimental Psychology, at the University of Warsaw, a position he occupied from 1915 until his death in 1918. He participated in the Paris gathering of Polish socialists, in 1892, where the Polish Socialist Party was founded. In his most well-known work, “Socialism & State,” he called himself a "state-rejecting socialist." However, toward the end of his life, he leaned more toward anarcho-syndicalism.
