Early life and education Tatarkiewicz was a grandson of the sculptor Jakub Tatarkiewicz, whose Frankist Jewish family had converted to Christianity. From 1903 he studied law at the Imperial University of Warsaw. In 1905 he was expelled by the Russian authorities with a "wolf's ticket" for having participated in a student assembly demanding the Polonization of the university. He moved to the University of Zurich, then in 1906 to Humboldt University of Berlin, and in 1907 to Marburg University, where in late 1909 he completed his thesis on Aristotle under the supervision of Paul Natorp and in 1910 was awarded a doctorate in philosophy.

Career As he describes in his Memoirs, it was a chance encounter with a male relative, whose height made him stand out above the crowd at a Kraków railroad station, upon the outbreak of World War I that led Tatarkiewicz to spend the war years in Warsaw. There he began his career as a lecturer in philosophy, teaching at a girls' school on Mokotowska Street, across the street from where Józef Piłsudski was to reside during his first days after World War I. During World War I, when the Polish University of Warsaw was opened under the sponsorship of the occupying Germans – who wanted to win Polish support for their war effort – Tatarkiewicz directed its philosophy department in 1915–19. In 1919–21 he was professor at Stefan Batory University in Wilno, in 1921–23 at the University of Poznań, and in 1923–61 again at the University of Warsaw. In 1930 he became a member of the Polish Academy of Learning. He supervised the 1928 master's thesis and the 1934 doctoral thesis of the National Radical Camp leader Jan Mosdorf, who became his leading student.

View on happiness Tatarkiewicz believed that "satisfaction with particular things... is only partial satisfaction; happiness requires total satisfaction, that is, satisfaction with life as a whole."

Major works Tatarkiewicz belonged to the interwar Lwów–Warsaw school of logic, created by Kazimierz Twardowski, which gave reborn Poland many scholars and scientists: philosophers, logicians, psychologists, sociologists, and organizers of academia. Tatarkiewicz educated generations of Polish philosophers, estheticians and art historians, as well as a multitude of interested laymen. He posthumously continues to do so through his History of Philosophy and numerous other works. In his final years, Tatarkiewicz devoted considerable attention to securing translations of his major works.
