Lviv-Warsaw School

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Lemberg-Warsaw School ( Polish: Szkoła lwowsko-warszawska ) (also: Warschauer Gruppe , Warschauer Schule ) was an influential logical-philosophical school in Poland in the 20th century. Kazimierz Twardowski laid the foundation stone when he came to Lviv in 1895 and started teaching philosophy there. After the re-establishment of the Polish state, many of its representatives moved to the University of Warsaw , from where the school takes its double name.

Twardowski's approaches are based on works by Franz Brentano , Robert von Zimmermann , Bernard Bolzano , as well as Edmund Husserl and Alexius Meinong . Twardowski was in scientific contact with the latter; this exchange promoted his interest in ontology , mereology and categorical grammar . He was inspired by Brentano to found a scientific school for philosophy; the influence of the Brentano School can be felt up to Alfred Tarski's generation.

The Lviv-Warsaw School was characterized by a broad research approach in philosophy, logic, philosophy of science and language analysis. Its representatives made important contributions to mathematical logic, logical semantics, epistemology and formal ontology, etc.

This school produced many great logicians, philosophers and mathematicians. The first generation in particular is known: Jan Łukasiewicz , Stanisław Leśniewski , Tadeusz Kotarbiński , Kazimierz Ajdukiewicz , Tadeusz Czeżowski , Zygmunt Zawirski . After that, Alfred Tarski was probably the most famous.

The Lemberg-Warsaw School was in contact with other logical-philosophical circles in Europe, B. the Vienna Circle and the Berlin Society for Empirical Philosophy . Together they organized several international congresses for the unity of science in the 1930s (the first congress was held in Paris in 1935).
