On February 11, 2021, the Interuniversity Roundtable on Kazimierz Twardowski and His Ukrainian Students, dedicated to the memory of the founder of the Lviv-Warsaw School Kazimierz Twardowski (1866–1938), was held online from 11:00 to 14:00. It was organized by the Department of Philosophy, Lviv Polytechnic National University, and the Department of Psychology, Pedagogy and Socio-Economic Disciplines, Bohdan Khmelnytskyi National Academy of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine. This is a traditional event that takes place annually on February 11, the day of the death of a Polish professor and philosopher buried in Lychakiv Cemetery in Lviv.

Professor, Dr. habil. Jan Woleński, a member of the Polish Academy of Sciences, well-known researcher of the Lwów–Warsaw school of logic, and epistemologist, joined the roundtable. He recalled his Lviv meetings in the time of the Soviet Union with those who studied Polish philosophy, read and analyzed works of Kazimierz Twardowski.

The participants of the roundtable discussion agreed that the topicality of the Lviv School of Philosophy and the type of philosophizing that was cultivated in it – is that it is difficult to solve social, economic and state-building issues as well as overcome various crises without critical thinking, analysis and logic development.
