Interest in the issue of the relationship between science and philosophy (as well as religion) was the main reason for the meeting of prof. Janik and Karol Wojtyła in the 1950s. On the initiative of prof. Janik a group of intellectuals who were conducting joint discussions on the selected subject was invited. After the election of Cardinal Wojtyła as Pope, seminaries were already held at Castel Gandolfo.
