Recall UD’s tripartite plagiarism scheme (details here):
ATELIER
AMBITION
ADDICTED
A very successful public intellectual from Poland is credibly accused of plagiarism.
This case, as reported, has Ambition written all over it. A young man in a hurry seems to have been far too fast-lane to bother actually writing portions of his work, starting with his graduate school thesis.
Some of the plagiarism is apparently straightforward translation from English language sources; some of it seems to draw on other sources.
This is the long, Polish-language essay about the plagiarism; not only do you have to translate it, but you can’t get far in the text without subscribing to the newspaper. But anyway it’s a close analysis of the guy’s apparently prolific lifting.
Of course he’s hysterically screaming about suing the people who claim that he plagiarizes — and good luck with that, panie.
