Who is your favorite Polish philosopher?
For me it's Polish nobleman the Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzscheski
>I am a Polish nobleman pure sang, in whom there is not the slightest admixture of bad blood, least of all German.
http://culture.pl/en/article/was-nietzsche-polish
"I am a pure-blooded Polish nobleman, without a single drop of bad blood, certainly not German blood."
"Germany is a great nation only because its people have so much Polish blood in their veins [...] I am proud of my Polish descent."

Unfortunately I dont know any Polish philosophers
But my favorite Polish scientists is Kopernikus (who is actually German, but that doesn't really matter)

His surname was clearly Slavic though (koper = Slavic word for dill).

>“I was taught to ascribe the origin of my blood and name to Polish noblemen who were called Niëtzky and left their home and nobleness about a hundred years ago, finally yielding to unbearable suppression: they were Protestants."
- Nachlass, Sommer 1882 21 [2]
>"my ancestors were Polish noblemen, even my grandfather's mother was Polish"
- letter to Heinrich von Stein, December 1882
>"My ancestors were Polish noblemen (Niëzky); it seems that the type is well preserved in spite of three German "mothers"
- letter to Georg Brandes, 10 April 1888
>"I thank Heaven, that in all of my instincts I am a Pole and nobody else."
- letter to Meta von Salis, 29 December 1888
>"And yet my ancestors were Polish noblemen: it is owing to them that I have so much race instinct in my blood, who knows? perhaps even the liberum veto."
- Ecce homo, chapter 3 (Warum ich so weise bin)
>"I am enough Polish, to give away all the music of the world just in exchange for Chopin."
- Ecce homo, chapter 4 (Warum ich so klug bin)
>"I am a pure-blooded Polish nobleman, without a single drop of bad blood, certainly not German blood.”

he was just trolling the german drones, no real polish abroad would willingly admit to being polish

>But my favorite Polish scientists is Kopernikus (who is actually German,
One half of Koperniks family were ethnic Poles, the other half were Polish Germans who lived in Poland for generations and mixed with Poles. Kopernik was born in Royal Prussia, a province of the Kingdom of Poland; he studied in Krakow, Poland; and he died in the Kingdom of Poland.
And also, he was a Polish patriot, as his family, who fought for Poland against the Teutons following his families traditions. So yeah, this makes his nationality Polish, his ethnicity Polish-German (but dominantly Polish), his education was partly Polish and his loyalty was towards Poland.
Sorry Germs. *mic drop*

He believed that the Poles were Sarmatians, and that since there was no ethnic dinstinction between the Polish Nobility and the Polish Peasantry, every Poles(including himself) was of noble blood

Polish nobility was around 10% of PLC's population, that's about 1 million people in the 17th century. Today majority of Polish people should have at least one noble ancestor due to mixing for the last two centuries.
