  • Conventions, Styles of Thinking and Relativism
    S t udia Philosophica Wratislaviensia Supplementary Volume, English Edition 2012 KRZYSZTOF SZLACHCIC University of Wrocław Conventions, Styles of Thinking and Relativism. Some Remarks on the Dispute between I. Dąmbska and L. Fleck* Abstract My comments are focused on the debate between Izydora Dąmbska and Ludwik Fleck. In the course of their debate, which took place in the 1930’s, they discussed some basic issues of epistemology, focusing on the problems of the sources of scientific knowledge, objectivity of knowledge, and truth. The aim of the paper is to place their debate in a the historical context and to demonstrate the novelty of Fleck’s arguments, especially in comparison with Thomas S. Kuhn’s later contribution. I also examine the dominant interpretations of Fleck’s theory of knowledge, as well as the reasons for which his philosophical ideas, especially Entstehung und Entwicklung einer wissenschaftlichen Tatsache (1935) have fallen into the philosophical obliv- ion. I argue that Fleck’s views, although innovative, were less radical than it is commonly thought. My comments focus on the polemic that ensued in the 1930s between Izydora Dąmbska and Ludwik Fleck. The authors involved in it either directly or indirectly referred to the fundamental questions of the theory of cognition: the question of the sources of scientific knowledge, objectivity of knowledge (its communicabil- ity), relative nature of scientific knowledge, truth. The small total volume of texts which directly referred to the views of the adversaries as well as the place where the dispute occurred (Lvov, a geographically peripheral part of the “civilised world” at the time) could suggest that this was just a minor episode in the history of thought, not worth mentioning.

  • NATALIA ANNA MICHNA LESZEK SOSNOWSKI Difficult Academic
    Roman Ingarden and His Times https: //doi. org/10.12797 /9788381382106.04 DOMINIKA CZAKON NATALIA ANNA MICHNA LESZEK SOSNOWSKI Jagiellonian University in Krakow On the Difficult Academic and Personal Relationship of Roman Ingarden and Kazimierz Twardowski Abstract The present article has the character of a historical review concerning an import­ ant part of the biography of Roman Witold Ingarden. In his memoirs, Ingarden included several facts and accusations, and mentioned individuals who, in his opinion, had a negative influence on the development of his academic career, especially regarding his ability to obtain a position at Jan Kazimierz University in Lviv. The reasons for this, which were various and numerous, appeared from the moment Ingarden obtained habilitation. Not without significance were the opinions of his fellow philosophers concerning phenomenology in general and Ingardens research papers in particular. In each case, the focal point at which all academic and organisational events concerning philosophy converged was the person of Kazimierz Twardowski. A discussion of the period of their collaboration in Lviv is preceded by a presentation of the situation some years earlier, in which Ingarden combined work as a middle-school teacher, original philosophical work, and, finally, work on habilitation. Key words: Roman Ingarden, Kazimierz Twardowski, Edmund Husserl, Jan Ka­ zimierz University of Lviv, habilitation 64 Dominika Czakon · Natalia Anna Michna · Leszek Sosnowski In the Service of Philosophy As Ingarden’s correspondence shows, his relationship with Twardowski was very close, even cordial, although not devoid of the formalism resulting from the customs of that time. Ingarden kept Twardowski informed about private matters and turned to him for advice on academic, publishing, and occupational issues, the most important being the issue of habilitation.

  • Question of Methodology of Scientific Theories of Complex Reality
    Global Spiral, ISSN: 1937-268X Published on Metanexus ( http://www.metanexus.net) Home > Question of Methodology of Scientific Theories of Complex Reality Question of Methodology of Scientific Theories of Complex Reality May 28, 2009 By Boguslawa Lewandowska [1] Introduction Einstein told Heisenberg that o nly theory decides what can be measured . Every scientific theory is an entity of logically compact generalizations deduced from established scientific facts, the generalizations being connected with the contemporary state of science. The purpose of such a theory is to explain the cause or the system of causes, conditions and circumstances of the original phenomena of interest to us. The complexity is a scientific theory [2] which asserts that some systems display behavioral phenomena that are completely inexplicable by any conventional analysis of the systems’ constituent parts. These phenomena, commonly referred to as emergent behaviours, seem to occur in many complex systems involving living organisms, such as a stock market [3] or the human brain (…). Precisely how to model such emergence—that is, to devise mathematical laws that will allow emergent behaviour to be explained and even predicted—is a major problem that has yet to be solved by complexity theorists. 1 Apart from the definitions of complexity, some of them being mathematical while others-informal, there exist also different methods of investigation and description of complexity. Although the sciences of complexity explore relatively new theoretical field, we already, at this stage, find a whole spectrum of approaches to the complexity issue lying between computational approaches to complexity in the tradition of information theory and cybernetics and the more conceptual approaches that we find in organicism, emergentism and systems theory 2.

  • Dąmbska's Presentation of Ajdukiewicz's Conception of Language
    Stud East Eur Thought (2016) 68:75–84 DOI 10.1007/s11212-016-9249-6 Da˛mbska’s presentation of Ajdukiewicz’s conception of language Zbigniew Orbik1 Published online: 16 February 2016 Ó The Author(s) 2016. This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract Izydora Da˛mbska was one of the most outstanding representatives of the Lvov-Warsaw School and a disciple of both the School’s founder Kazimierz Twardowski and Kazimierz Ajdukiewicz. Interest in the School was the result of Twardowski’s program of scientific philosophy, which was adopted by the vast majority of his students. This program assumed that the basic condition for prac- ticing philosophy in a scientific manner is the precise use of language by a philosopher. One of the scholars who devoted most attention to language was Kazimierz Ajdukiewicz. Da˛mbska accepted that the philosophical program of the School was opposed to the trend shared by many contemporary schools at the time which belonged to the so called current of linguistic philosophy. According to this trend, language is the only object of philosophical investigation. The analysis of Ajdukiewicz’s concept of language is one of her most interesting achievements in the domain of philosophy of language. This concept, called by Da˛mbska ‘the immanent concept of language’, is the basis of Ajdukiewicz’s well-known radical conventionalism. Keywords Da˛mbska Á Ajdukiewicz Á Language Á Philosophy of language Á The Lvov-Warsaw School Á Semiotics Linking philosophical considerations to those concerning language was the perspective that Izydora Da˛mbska adopted from her teacher Kazimierz Twardowski.

  • Hunting the Story of Moses Schönfinkel
    Where Did Combinators Come From? Hunting the Story of Moses Schönfinkel Stephen Wolfram* Combinators were a key idea in the development of mathematical logic and the emergence of the concept of universal computation. They were introduced on December 7, 1920, by Moses Schönfinkel. This is an exploration of the personal story and intellectual context of Moses Schönfinkel, including extensive new research based on primary sources. December 7, 1920 On Tuesday, December 7, 1920, the Göttingen Mathematics Society held its regular weekly meeting—at which a 32-year-old local mathematician named Moses Schönfinkel with no known previous mathematical publications gave a talk entitled “Elemente der Logik” (“Elements of Logic”). This piece is included in S. Wolfram (2021), Combinators: A Centennial View, Wolfram Media. (wolframmedia.com/products/combinators-a-centennial-view.html) and accompanies arXiv:2103.12811 and arXiv:2102.09658. Originally published December 7, 2020 *Email: [email protected] 2 | Stephen Wolfram A hundred years later what was presented in that talk still seems in many ways alien and futuristic—and for most people almost irreducibly abstract. But we now realize that that talk gave the first complete formalism for what is probably the single most important idea of this past century: the idea of universal computation. Sixteen years later would come Turing machines (and lambda calculus). But in 1920 Moses Schönfinkel presented what he called “building blocks of logic”—or what we now call “combinators”—and then proceeded to show that by appropriately combining them one could effectively define any function, or, in modern terms, that they could be used to do universal computation.

  • On the Search for Sources of Good and Evil in the Lvov-Warsaw School of Philosophy
    Ethics & Bioethics (in Central Europe), 2019, 9 (1–2), 37–45 DOI:10.2478/ebce-2019-0006 On the search for sources of good and evil in the Lvov-Warsaw School of Philosophy Stefan Konstańczak1 Abstract In this article, the author attempts to identify the sources of good and evil as undertaken by the Lvov-Warsaw School of Philosophy (LWSP) founded by Kazimierz Twardowski. Such attempts were undertaken by both Twardowski himself and his closest students and associates; Władysław Witwicki, Tadeusz Kotarbiński. Tadeusz Czeżowski, and Kazimierz Ajdukiewicz. The best-known approach is Kotarbiński’s independent ethics in which the author refers to Aristotle perceiving such potential in the characteristics of each individual as to distinguish elementary qualities in the form of opposites including opposition to good and evil. According to this approach, man acts in an evil manner because he stops following the natural voice of his own heart and instead implements set proposals provided by external factors. In the opinion of the author, the proposals formulated within the LWSP can form the basis for a rational explanation of the atrocities committed during World War II which modern ethics, being focused on neutral metaethical issues, fails to do. Keywords: Kazimierz Ajdukiewicz, Tadeusz Kotarbinski, Kazimierz Twardowski, ładysław Witwicki, the Lvov- Warsaw School, ethics, sources of good and evil Introduction In no other scientific discipline do the issues of subject matter and the definability of the concepts used arouse so much interest as in ethics. In everyday language ethics deals with good and evil. Nevertheless, philosophers often acknowledge that the indefinability of the concepts used in ethics is a sufficient basis to deny it a scientific status.

  • УДК: 161.2 Stepan Ivanyk University of Warsaw THEORY OF
    УДК: 161.2 Stepan Ivanyk University of Warsaw THEORY OF JUDGMENT IN THE LVOV SCHOOL OF PHILOSOPHY: INTRODUCTION TO RESEARCH (стаття надійшла до редколегії – 8.09.2015 р., прийнята до друку – 15.10.2015 р.) © Ivanyk S., 2015 Current knowledge of philosophical and logical investigations includes numerous gaps regarding the theory of judgment in the Lvov School of Philosophy. The aim of the paper is to show that the task of filling this gap is not without merit and to outline the way how to complete this task. Theoretical and methodological roots of theory of judgement of the Lvov School in philosophy lies in philosophy of Franz Brentano, whose views on logic have been identified as the first ever revolt against Aristotelian logic. This fact increases the theoretical and practical value of attainments in the theory of judgement of the School as one of the most potent centers of Brentano’s philosophy, and justifies the necessity to scrutinize and systematize them. In turn, taking into consideration the fact that for specific interpretations of judgement in the School there were mainly innovative constructions of logic, conducting such a study seems to be crucial not only from the historical point of view (as the reconstruction of an important period of history of Polish philosophy and logic in Lvov) but also can provide plenty of interesting issues and serve as the source of inspiration for contemporary logic and meta-logic research. Therefore the way how to complete the task of the paper is like following: (1) to reconstruct a full range of theoretical propositions in the theory of judgment devised in the Lvov School; (2) to explicate epistemic and ontic foundations of theoretical propositions of the School and (3) to find, analytically develop, and introduce to science so far unknown scientific materials (dissertations, readings and academic lectures, correspondences, etc.).

  • The Galician Origins of Polish Analytic Philosophy
    PHILOSOPHY AS THE FOUNDATION OF KNOWLEDGE, ACTION AND ETHOS http://dx.doi.org/10.18778/8088-538-7.08 PETER SIMONS Trinity College Dublin [email protected] CONFLUENCE: THE GALICIAN ORIGINS OF POLISH ANALYTIC PHILOSOPHY Abstract. Separate Austrian influences, those of Bolzano and Brentano, came together in the work of Kazimierz Twardowski, the founder of the Lvov–Warsaw School and Polish analytic philosophy. From Bolzano he took the ideas of abstract content and absolute truth; from Brentano the centrality of intentionality and the role of psychology, and from both an awareness of the historical depth of philosophy. These streams flowed together in and through him to form central doctrines, attitudes and practices of that School, from its origins in 1895 to its continuation in contemporary Polish philosophy. Keywords. Polish analytic philosophy, content, object, idea, intentionality, truth, absolute truth. 1. Prelude: The Geopolitics of Central – Eastern Europe Near the Polish city of Mysłowice, south-east of Katowice in Silesia, two small rivers flow together: the Black Przemsza from the north-west, and the White Przemsza from the north-east, forming the Przemsza, a short tributary of Poland’s main river, the Vistula. The confluence of the two tributaries of the Przemsza was, from 1871 to 1914, a geopolitical tripoint, where three empires met: the German Empire to the west, the Russian Empire to the north, and the Austro-Hungarian empire to the east, and it became known as Three Emperors’ Corner, Dreikaisereck, Trójkąt Trzech Cesarzy, Уголтрёхимператоров. I am using the flowing together, or confluence, of streams of water to form a new stream as a metaphor for the bringing together of two streams of thought to form a new stream, combining aspects of the two.
