Life Jakub Górski was an early Polish representative of Stoicism. He wrote a famous Dialectic (1563) and many works in grammar, rhetoric, theology and sociology. A professor at Kraków University, he was an erudite man whose Dialectic gives evidence of extensive acquaintance with new currents and authors, but he was more erudite than independent as a thinker. He tended to eclecticism and sought to reconcile the Stoics with Aristotle.Władysław Tatarkiewicz, Historia filozofii (History of Philosophy), vol. 2: Filozofia nowożytna do roku 1830 (Modern Philosophy to 1830), 8th ed., p. 37.
