Tadeusz Morski’s Diplomatic Manual in the Context of Its European Predecessors
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to introduce Tadeusz Morski’s diplomatic reflections as expressed in his Myśli o potrzebie i sposobach przysposobienia młodzieży do służby dyplomatycznej w Polszcze (Thoughts on the necessity and the ways of preparing the youth for diplomatic service in Poland; 1792) and to place it within its European context. The analysis focuses on the author’s views on international relations, diplomacy, and the figure of the perfect ambassador (his preparation, qualities, and duties). Morski’s vision is presented in comparison with other European diplomatic manuals, which had a profound influence on the eighteenth-century theory of diplomacy, authored by Abraham de Wicquefort, François de Callières, and Gabriel Bonnot de Mably.
