  • On the Minimal Non-Fregean Grzegorczyk Logic
    Joanna Golinska-Pilarek´ On the Minimal Non-Fregean Grzegorczyk Logic To the Memory of Andrzej Grzegorczyk Abstract. The paper concerns Grzegorczyk’s non-Fregean logics that are intended to be a formal representation of the equimeaning relation defined on descriptions. We argue that the main Grzegorczyk logics discussed in the literature are too strong and we propose a new logical system, MGL, which satisfies Grzegorczyk’s fundamental requirements. We present a sound and complete semantics for MGL and we prove that it is decidable. Finally, we show that many non-classical logics are extensions of MGL, which makes it a generic non-Fregean logic. Keywords: Non-Fregean logic, Descriptive equivalence, Equimeaning, Extensionality. Introduction There are plenty of logical systems discussed in the literature which are fo- cused on different aspects of formal representation of real world problems. Over the years, the question as to which logic is adequate has been a matter of lively discussion. One of the fundamental controversies is the philosoph- ical status of classical two-valued logic, and in particular the paradoxes of material implication and equivalence. In order to remedy the dissatisfactory aspects of classical logic, many logical systems have been introduced, such as modal, intuitionistic, relevant, non-Fregean, and paraconsistent logics, among others. In [3] Andrzej Grzegorczyk introduced yet another logical system in- tended to cover the fundamental properties of descriptive equivalence of sentences. His main assumption is that the human language is used pri- marily to create descriptions of reality and logical connectives are the main tool to represent them formally. In order to be able to speak about inter- actions between descriptions—as Grzegorczyk argues—a logical language Presented by Heinrich Wansing; Received February 21, 2015 Studia Logica (2016) 104: 209–234 DOI: 10.1007/s11225-015-9635-y c The Author(s) 2015.

  • A Philosophically Plausible Formal Interpretation of Intuitionistic Logic
    MATHEMATICAL LOGIC A PHILOSOPHICALLY PLAUSIBLE FORMAL INTERPRETATION OF INTUITIONISTIC LOGIC BY ANDRZEJ GRZEGORCZYK (Communicated by Prof. A. HEYTING at the meeting of September 26, 1964} The notion of forcing introduced by P. J. CoHEN [2] in order to prove the independence of the axiom of choice, may be considered as a modi­ fication of the notion of fulfilment of a formula by a tree introduced by E. W. BETH [l] p. 447. But the word "forcing" used by Cohen suggests an interesting philosophical interpretation of intuitionistic logic. According to this interpretation, which shall be described in detail, the intuitionistic logic can be understood as the logic of scientific research (rather positivistically conceived) while on the other hand the classical logic is the logic of ontological thought. l. The formal description of scientific research Scientific research (e.g. an experimental investigation) consists of the successive enrichment of the set of data by new established facts obtained by means of our method of inquiry. When making inquiries we question Nature and offer her a set of possible answers. Nature chooses one of them. Hence scientific research may be conceived as a triple R=(J, o, P). The elements of R will be called: J - the information set, i.e. the set of all possible experimental data, o - the initial information, P - the function of possible prolongations of the informations. The set J may be finite or infinite. The elements of J are finite ordered collections of atomic sentences: Pt1(aJ), Pt2(aJ> ak), ... where Ptn are n-place predicates and a1, ak, ..

  • Confrontation of Reism with Type-Theoretical Approach and Everyday Experience
    STUDIES IN LOGIC, GRAMMAR AND RHETORIC 27 (40) 2012 Witold Marciszewski CONFRONTATION OF REISM WITH TYPE-THEORETICAL APPROACH AND EVERYDAY EXPERIENCE 1. Grzegorczyk’s project for merging reism with type theory Quine’s famous essay “On What There Is” starts from the following remark. A curious thing about the ontological problem is its simplicity. It can be put in three Anglo-Saxon monosyllables” ‘What is there?’ It can be answered, moreover, in a word – ‘Everything’ – and everyone will accept this answer as true. Obviously, such accord is only apparent, since each philosophical doctrine offers its individual answer on what this everything does comprise. How- ever, the strategies of justifying their claims have something in common. Each philosopher tries to distinguish a category of entities whose existence would be most certain, beyond any doubt, and then – on this basis – to demonstrate the existence of other kinds of entities. Let the elements of such a basic category be called prime existents1 The history of philosophy can by summarized through mentioning kinds of entities which were acknowl- edged as prime existents by particular thinkers: by Plato – universal ideas; by Aristotle – substantial individuals; by Democritus – atoms; by Descartes – his own mind; by Hume – sense data; by Brentano (in one phase of his development) – mental phenomena, etc. What in the Aristotelian idiom is called individual substances can be translated into vernacular English as individual things or, even simpler, things – Latin res.2 1 In the use of the term “individual substances” I follow Moran’s [2000, p. 35] account on Brentano’s ontology. 2 Dictionaries contain a long list of everyday meanings of “thing”.

  • Jerzy Andrzej Chmurzyński SEARCHING EUROPE's
    DIALOGUE AND UNIVERSALISM No. 6–7/2002 Jerzy Andrzej ń SEARCHING ’DESTINATION ABSTRACT According to Andrzej ’vision, Europe has “reached” Christianity as its conjectural ideological termination. This view, though tempting, arouses reservations. First of all, Christianity is not a cultural monolith. There is a huge chasm between the “”with its ideal of perfection exhibited by rational effectiveness, and the Catholic and Orthodox ideal of perfecting oneself in ’sinfulness. Nor can one ig- nore ’deep cultural and religious split into a Latin West and a Byzantine East. Secondly, we have been witnessing diverse cultural and demographic transforma- tions in European civilization, some of which appear to be almost universal. They mani- fest themselves in a “”of individual Christianity, either in the form of “neolibertin- ism”, or in a separation of normative ethics from religious ideology. In this context, counter-cultural movements find ideological support in the American social conscious- ness, as in the ’phenomena of flower children and hippies. These tendencies may have evolved into the developing New Age ideology, although they do not exercise the same degree of influence on the population. Some of them stand in opposition to Judeo- Christian moral principles—especially in their advocacy of permissiveness. Others propagate the traditional values found in Oriental doctrines. All of them are apparently anti–Christian; they may lead Europe in a new, so far unknown direction. The decay of traditional morality was predictable, given the new permissiveness, es- pecially in the area of sexual morality. Some of the effects may be considered alarming in that they appear side by side with an increase in wealth.

  • Contribution of Warsaw Logicians to Computational Logic
    axioms Article Contribution of Warsaw Logicians to Computational Logic Damian Niwi ´nski Institute of Informatics, University of Warsaw, 02-097 Warsaw, Poland; [email protected]; Tel.: +48-22-554-4460 Academic Editor: Urszula Wybraniec-Skardowska Received: 22 April 2016; Accepted: 31 May 2016; Published: 3 June 2016 Abstract: The newly emerging branch of research of Computer Science received encouragement from the successors of the Warsaw mathematical school: Kuratowski, Mazur, Mostowski, Grzegorczyk, and Rasiowa. Rasiowa realized very early that the spectrum of computer programs should be incorporated into the realm of mathematical logic in order to make a rigorous treatment of program correctness. This gave rise to the concept of algorithmic logic developed since the 1970s by Rasiowa, Salwicki, Mirkowska, and their followers. Together with Pratt’s dynamic logic, algorithmic logic evolved into a mainstream branch of research: logic of programs. In the late 1980s, Warsaw logicians Tiuryn and Urzyczyn categorized various logics of programs, depending on the class of programs involved. Quite unexpectedly, they discovered that some persistent open questions about the expressive power of logics are equivalent to famous open problems in complexity theory. This, along with parallel discoveries by Harel, Immerman and Vardi, contributed to the creation of an important area of theoretical computer science: descriptive complexity. By that time, the modal m-calculus was recognized as a sort of a universal logic of programs. The mid 1990s saw a landmark result by Walukiewicz, who showed completeness of a natural axiomatization for the m-calculus proposed by Kozen. The difficult proof of this result, based on automata theory, opened a path to further investigations.

  • 1 on the Life and Work of Andrzej Mostowski? STANISŁAW
    On the life and work of Andrzej Mostowski ? STANISŁAW KRAJEWSKI and MARIAN SREBRNY (Warsaw, Poland) Andrzej Stanisław Mostowski was born on November 1, 1913, in Lwów. His father, Stanisław Mostowski, was a medical doctor and worked as an assistant at the Physical Chemistry Department of the University of Lwów; he was conscripted in 1914 as a military doctor and soon after died of typhus. The family had to be provided for by the mother, Zofia née Kramsztyk (1881-1963), who worked for many years in a bank. Andrzej (by his mother called Staszek after the father) had one sister Krystyna (after the war she settled abroad – first in France, then in Montreal). In the summer of 1914 Mostowski’s mother went with her children to Zakopane to spend holidays there; in the face of the outbreak of war and the death of the father they ?

  • Introduction. the School: Its Genesis, Development and Significance
    Introduction. The School: Its Genesis, Development and Significance Urszula Wybraniec-Skardowska Abstract. The Introduction outlines, in a concise way, the history of the Lvov- Warsaw School – a most unique Polish school of worldwide renown, which pi- oneered trends combining philosophy, logic, mathematics and language. The author accepts that the beginnings of the School fall on the year 1895, when its founder Kazimierz Twardowski, a disciple of Franz Brentano, came to Lvov on his mission to organize a scientific circle. Soon, among the characteristic fea- tures of the School was its serious approach towards philosophical studies and teaching of philosophy, dealing with philosophy and propagation of it as an intellectual and moral mission, passion for clarity and precision, as well as ex- change of thoughts, and cooperation with representatives of other disciplines. The genesis is followed by a chronological presentation of the development of the School in the successive years. The author mentions all the key represen- tatives of the School (among others, Ajdukiewicz, Leśniewski, Łukasiewicz, Tarski), accompanying the names with short descriptions of their achieve- ments. The development of the School after Poland’s regaining independence in 1918 meant part of the members moving from Lvov to Warsaw, thus pro- viding the other segment to the name – Warsaw School of Logic. The author dwells longer on the activity of the School during the Interwar period – the time of its greatest prosperity, which ended along with the outbreak of World War 2. Attempts made after the War to recreate the spirit of the School are also outlined and the names of continuators are listed accordingly.

  • Andrzej Grzegorczyk (1922-2014)
    Stanisław Krajewski1 Andrzej Grzegorczyk (1922-2014) Andrzej Grzegorczyk died on 20th March 2014. Even though he was 91 years old, his passing was unexpected as he had been doing creative work almost until his last moment and his intellectual capacities seemed intact. His memoirs emphasized that he had been the previous century’s last world- renowned representative of Polish logic. While this is true, it seems much more important that he was a very unique person, academically and socially active, but also a free spirit who chose his own path. I. Life Andrzej Grzegorczyk was born in Warsaw on 22nd August 1922, the only son of Piotr Grzegorczyk – a Polish studies specialist stemming from an intelligentsia family from the Polish Galicia, then part of Austro-Hungary – and Zofia, a doctor born in the landowner family of Zdziarski from the vicinity of Płock. Her background was strongly leftist; her brother Mirosław Zdziarski, a known communist and a member of the Communist Party of Poland, was sentenced to death in Russia in 1937. Andrzej Grzegorczyk spent his entire life, with only short breaks, in Warsaw. As a child, he attended a private Catholic school of the educational society “Przyszłość” (whose other fledgling was Władysław Bartoszewski) and from 1938 – the Władysław Reytan state secondary school. After the outbreak of war, when his previous school organized clandestine secondary school lessons, he decided to return there and passed his school-leaving exams in 1940, on the day of France’s capitulation. To avoid being taken away to work in the German Reich, he 1University of Warsaw, Faculty of Philosophy and Sociology.

It shows that the basis of logic of analytic equivalence, presented in the first part of the work, fully corresponds with these assumptions. 1. Introduction From the formal point of view, the sentential part of non-Fregean logic (NFL ) is a collection of calculi formulated in the language LSCI of SCI (sen- tential calculus with identity) and containing the set of SCI theses. In 2011-2012, Andrzej Grzegorczyk designed (in [7] and [8]) a project of sen- tential logic with a synonymity connective, which may be included in NFL 1 Grzegorczyk’s scientific activity in the last years of his life was focused on the implementation of this project. This activity, and the works and discussions it inspired, gave a new character to certain research related with NFL . In particular, [6] presented the semantics (in the style of the algebraic semantics by R. Suszko) for the system marked by the symbol “ LD ” (Logic of Description) which is 1J.

    Przegląd Filozoficzny — Nowa Seria R. 17: 2008, Nr 3 (67), ISSN 1230-1493 Ankieta Filozoficzne implikacje teorii ewolucji 1. Co uważa Pan/Pani za główne osiągnięcie poznawcze lub zaletę poznawczą teo­ rii ewolucji (TE) (prawdziwość, ogólność, empiryczność, moc eksplanacyjną)? 2. Co uważa Pan/Pani za główną słabość (błąd, mylącą sugestię) teorii ewolucji (TE) (mechanistyczne tłumaczenie modyfikacji genetycznych, brak predyk­ cji, brak globalnej interpretacji funkcji ewolucyjnych, duże luki w materiale paleontologicznym, wybuch kambryjski, drobne i nieliczne fragmenty kostne na dowód istnienia ogniw pośrednich)? 3. Czy TE może operować pojęciem „błędu ewolucyjnego”? Czy można stwier­ dzić, że jakiś gatunek świetnie dostosował się do środowiska, ale np. stracił zdolność rozrodu? Czy taka utrata zdolności będzie interpretowana jako „błąd adaptacyjny”? 4. Czy teoria ewolucji jest w stanie rejestrować zjawiska skokowe, gdyby takie zachodziły? Czyta się np., że sam Darwin uważał powstanie oka za zjawisko nagłe i całościowe; nie było ono kumulatywnym nagromadzeniem wcześniej­ szych funkcji, takich jak rozpoznawanie światła, zwracanie się w kierunku, z którego dobiega głos, itp. Czy to trafna interpretacja TE? 5. Zostawmy na boku predykcję (która jest niemożliwa) i retrodykcję (która tylko przypisuje różnym hipotezom różne prawdopodobieństwa). Czy możliwa jest falsyfikacja TE w tym sensie, że TE jest w stanie stwierdzić zajście zja­ wiska „ograniczonej kreaqi”, czyli wmontowanie w bieg ewolucyjny nagłego inżynierskiego wynalazku, który nie powstał z kumulacji prostszych modyfika­ cji? (Zostawmy też na boku wyjaśnienie, kto byłby autorem tej wyrywkowej kreacji: Bóg, ET, bakterie z meteorytów itd.) Istotne jest, czy TE może taki fakt stwierdzić, gdyby zaszedł. 6. Problem monogenezy i poligenezy gatunku Homo sapiens nie sprowadza się do braku danych paleontologicznych.
