2024 marks the 160th anniversary of the birth and the 90th anniversary of the death of the outstanding philosopher, theologian, teacher, and educator Stanisław Dunin-Borkowski. He hailed from a renowned Polish family in Lviv but was associated with the German province of the Society of Jesus, publishing almost exclusively in German. The objective of this article is to elucidate the educational journey of this relatively unknown thinker in Poland, along with his teaching and educational contributions. The reconstruction of Dunin-Borkowski's biography relies on his pedagogical autobiography, source documents prepared within the Jesuit order, and earlier studies. The outcome is a biography that supplements certain stages of Dunin-Borkowski's life, corrects inaccuracies, and contextualizes his educational experiences within the framework of Jesuit formation and areas of activity. The text can serve as an introduction to further research on the pedagogical perspectives of this distinguished Jesuit, with a primary focus on the education of leaders.
