An Annotated Leśniewski Bibliography An Annotated Leśniewski Bibliography V. Frederick Rickey Professor Emeritus Department of Mathematical Sciences United States Military Academy West Point, NY 10996 November 18, 2019 At the urging of friends and colleagues, I prepared An Annotated Leśniewski Bibliography (pp. 1– 39), which was distributed in July 1972. Four years later, in June of 1976, An Annotated Leśniewski Bibliography (Supplement I) (pp. 40–83) was distributed. All of this was further supplemented and revised in the spring of 1978 and eventually appeared in Stanisław Leśniewski: Collected Works, pp. 711–785 ( = Rickey 1992). Recently, my interest in the logical systems of Leśniewski has been rekindled and in December 2009, I began to gather more recent references pertaining to Leśniewski’s systems. The existence of the web has made this task infinitely easier than it was forty years ago. I would encourage all who use this bibliography to send me corrections and, especially, additions. This document is being prepared in TEX and it would be most helpful if you sent additions in this format, but documents in Word or HTML are perfectly acceptable (however .pdf format makes my life difficult as I then need to retype the information). You can most easily contact me via email: [email protected]. I would be pleased if you would also send me copies of your papers, for I am again trying to digest what has been written about Leśniewski and his logical systems, especially the more technical papers.

Using Leśniewski’s theory of semantic categories, Ajdukiewicz refutes Kotarbiński’s ‘proof’ of the non-existence of individuals.

Reprinted in Ajdukiewicz 1978. Ajdukiewicz considers several kinds of existence and applies them to the question of fictitious objects and also to the metaphysical controversy over what is real. He uses Leśniewski’s on- tology to discuss the notions of real and intentional existence. In the review, Quine interprets ontology in set theory and thus concludes that quantification commits Leśniewski to abstract entities. 1960 Język i poznanie (Language and Knowledge), Warsaw, vol. 1, 1960, vol. 2, 1965.

JSTOR Geach, who spoke accurate but slow Polish, translated this from the reprint in Ajdukiewicz 1960. He judged parts II and III of the paper, which dealt with quantifiers, to be “complicated and unsatisfactory,” and so omitted them. Ajdukiewicicz attributes the term ‘semantical category’ to Husserel 1900, but remarks that he has adopted the ‘simple account’ of them developed by Leśniewski. He notes that the word ‘functor’ was coined by Kotarbiński. Need reference to K. 1973 Problems and Theories of Philosophy, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.

November 18, 2019 – 00 : 48 4 Summary: The collection contains five short texts written by Ajdukiewicz in the years 1920– 1924. The curriculum vitae from 1924 includes, inter alia, the authorÕs account of his soldier years during the First World War. The second text (a summary of a lecture for The Polish Philosophical Society) is concerned with the distinction between the absolute and relative time. Texts 3 and 4 are in praise of Łukasiewicz’s three-valued logic as a contribution to the theory of human freedom.

Apostel, Leo 1960 “Logic and ontology,” Logique et Analyse, 3 (1960), #11–12, 202–225. Apostel claims that for Leśniewski and Heinrich Scholz, logic was ontology (in the philosoph- ical sense). Claims that Leśniewski 1930a states that “the science of logic has quite explicitly as its object the study of certain very general laws of being” (quoting Apostel, who does not quote Leśniewski). Cites Lejewski 1954b and 1958b as clear explanations of Leśniewski’s position. The discussion ends by saying that Leśniewski defines existence to exclude the null class and then goes on to make some incomprehensible remarks about methodology. 1976 “Mereology, time, action and meaning,” pp. 189–233 in Festschrift Gerhard Frey Zum 60.

  • Esther Simpson - the Unknown Heroine
    From The Jewish Chronicle, 11 May 2017 https://www.thejc.com/news/news-features/esther-simpson-the-unknown-heroine- 1.438317?highlight=Simpson David Edmonds May 11, 2017 Esther Simpson - the unknown heroine The extraordinary story of how one woman offered refuge to philosophers, scientists and musicians fleeing from the Nazis, and in doing so reshaped the cultural and intellectual landscape of the Western World. It’s not clear how Professor Stanislaus Jolles died. The year was 1943 and he was in his mid-eighties. But did he die from natural causes, did he kill himself, or was he killed? He was a Jew living in Berlin, after the systematic extermination of Jews had already begun, so anything is possible. The fate of his wife, Adele, is documented. In the year of her husband’s passing, she was transported south from the German capital to Theresienstadt concentration camp in Czechoslovakia. She perished in 1944. She was Miss Simpson to strangers, Esther to colleagues, Tess to some of her close friends. And she had many, many friends, among whom she counted Ludwig Wittgenstein, often described as the greatest philosopher of the twentieth century. Wittgenstein had been acquainted with Stanislaus Jolles for over three decades, ever since he’d left his palatial Viennese home in 1906 to study engineering in Berlin. Professor and Mrs Jolles had been his hosts. Stanislaus was a mathematician who came to look upon Ludwig like a son; he and his wife called him ‘little Wittgenstein’. During World War I, when Wittgenstein was fighting for the Austrians on the Eastern Front, they furnished him with a constant supply of bread, fruit-cake, and cigarettes.

Beiträge zur Spurensicherung . (Kritisches Jahrbuch der Philosophie , Band 2). Würzburg, Königshausen & Neumann, 1997, pp.161. Pb. DM 28. ISBN 3826014405 Gottfried Gabriel und Uwe Dathe (eds). Gottlob Frege. Werk und Wirkung. Paderborn, Mentis, 2000, pp.313. Pb. DM 30. ISBN 3897850850 REWRITING FREGE’S BIOGRAPHY English-speaking philosophers know little about Frege’s life. In 1972 T. W. Bynum published ‘On the Life and Work of Gottlob Frege’, an introduction of fty-four pages to his translation of the Begriffsschrift , in which various facts about Frege’s life were cited. These notes are still being used as a guide to Frege’s biography today – as in Anthony Kenny’s recent book Frege (see Kenny 1995, p. 1 n.). Apparently, many writers on Frege have never heard about a complete revolution in investigating Frege’s biography that took place in the 1990s in Germany, falsifying almost every sentence in Bynum’s piece. The two volumes under review – I shall refer to them as Spurensicherung and Wirkung for brevity – which are the outcome of two symposia on Frege held at the University of Jena, form the pinnacle of this biographical makeover. Indeed, from 1979 on, four such symposia had already taken place in Jena, resulting in three volumes of proceedings in each of which new data pertaining to Frege’s biography were contained. What is new in 1 I use the term ‘East German’ here, following the tradition established during the Cold War, when Germany was divided into two parts, usually known in English as East and West Germany.

  • Beth and Scholz∗
    Moral Integrity during a Difficult Period: Beth and Scholz∗ [Philosophia Scientiae (Nancy) 3 (4) (1998/1999), 151-173. Special issue: Un logicien consciencieux. La philosophie de Evert Willem Beth.] Volker Peckhaus Institut f¨urPhilosophie der Universit¨atErlangen-N¨urnberg Bismarckstr. 1, D{91054 Erlangen E-mail: [email protected] February 7, 2000 1 Introduction Willem Evert Beth started his academic career as a philosopher of mathe- matics in the mid 1930's, and it should be noted that his approach to this subject at the borderline between philosophy and mathematics was more philosophical than mathematical. It was an ambivalent time, but extremely exciting for scientists working in the area. In their recollections logicians of the time called it the \heroic era." The era lasted, as Georg Henrik von Wright was convinced (von Wright 1993, 21), from 1879 to 1934. This pe- riod was marked by Gottlob Frege's Begriffsschrift (Frege 1879) and the first volume of David Hilbert and Paul Bernays's Grundlagen der Mathematik (Hilbert and Bernays 1934). It was, according to von Wright, relieved by an epoch which began with two incidents being themselves of heroic greatness (26): Kurt G¨odel'sresults concerning the incompleteness of formalized lan- guages and Alfred Tarski's semantic theory of truth. Hans Hermes, on the ∗Lecture delivered on 22nd April, 1998 at the conference \Evert Willem Beth and His Philosophical Friends: From Bernays to Boche´nski"(22nd to 24th April, 1998) in M´er´eville,France.
