He studied mathematics and physics at the University of Cracow, and in 1835 promoted Dr. phil. He was actively involved in the conspiratorial, revolutionary "unification of the Polish people". He agitated mainly among academics, but also among craftsmen in Galicia, Silesia and the Grand Duchy Posen. He also had contact with the Polish political exile in Paris. He belonged to the newly-formed Polish national government during the Cracow uprising of 1846, alongside Jan Tyssowski and Aleksander Grzegorzewski. On February 22, 1846, the Manifesto, signed by Gorzkowski, proclaimed that all the Poles were calling for arms, and the abolition of interest, frusties, and promulgated the freedom fighters to pay compensation from the national goods. In the context of internal conflicts among the insurgents he lost his leadership position.
