Alexander Ivanovich Galitsch

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alexander Iwanowitsch Galitsch (born as Alexander Iwanowitsch Goworow , Russian Александр Иванович Галич (Говоров) ; * 1783 ; † 1848 ) was a Russian philosopher and logician.

Life

Galitsch was an adjunct professor at the St. Petersburg Pedagogical Institute. From 1808 to 1813 he went to Germany for further studies. From 1818 to 1819 he created the work History of the Philosophical Systems, for which he was accused after its appearance of godlessness and of offending against the foundations of the [Russian] state. He was then removed from his chair.

In his lectures Galitsch dealt not only with the classic syllogistic closing forms, but also with problems of inductive and analogous reasoning.
