The paper examines the academic career of a world-known Czech mathematician Jaroslav Kurzweil (born in 1926) and his family background (his father was in the Czechoslovak Legion), formation (studies interrupted by WWII) and a stay in Poland (in 1953 in Poznań, working with Władysław Orlicz, member of the Lwów School of Mathematics). All of these elements were important for Kurzweil’s decision to pursue an academic career. The method of generational consciousness (Karl Mannheim) explains the sense of belonging with other schoolmates. The interviewer concludes that in the history of science, it is necessary to distinguish between strategies and social communication of scholars. The subject is approached from the perspective of transnational history and the formation of Czech and Polish academic networks.
