Roman Witold Ingarden lived from 5 February 1893 to 14 June 1970 and was a Polish philosopher who worked in aesthetics, ontology and phenomenology. Before the Second World War he published mainly in German, but during the war he switched to Polish out of solidarity with his homeland following the German invasion, with the result that his major works in ontology went largely unnoticed by the wider philosophical world; his writings nonetheless made an indirect cultural impact through his student Karol Wojtyla, who later became Pope.
