Short description: |
The Lviv-Warsaw school is regarded worldwide as one of the most important philosophical formations at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. To this day, it is the legitimacy of many Polish intellectuals. The lecture takes into account both the historical and theoretical aspects of the LWS. The most representative ideas of the school, the scientific genealogy of the main members, their philosophical and logical achievements are presented. We pay particular attention to the historically important dispute over psychologism in philosophy and logic (K. Twardowski, J. Łukasiewicz). We present the ontological assumptions adopted by representative school members (J. Łukasiewicz, S. Leśniewski, T. Kotarbiński, K. Ajdukiewicz, A. Tarski). Finally, we present two significant achievements of school members that have a decisive impact on the development of modern science and logic: Tarski's semantic concept of truth and the first non-classical logic of Łukasiewicz. |
