Shaw Sophia Studies in PDF As a Festschrift, this e-book celebrates and honours the scholarly achievements of Professor Jaysankar Lal Shaw, some of the most eminent and across the world acclaimed comparative philosophers of our instances. Attention is mainly paid to the origins, development and subsequent role of Tarski's definition of truth.
Some contributions are primarily historical, others analyze logical aspects of the concept of truth.
Several Polish logicians contributed: The volume presents entirely new biographical material on Tarski, both from his Polish period and on his influential career in the United States: The high point of the analysis involves Tarski's influence on Carnap's evolution from a narrow syntactical view of language, to the ontologically more sophisticated but more controversial semantical view. The concluding part of Yearbook 6 includes documentation, book reviews and a summary of current activities of the Institute Vienna Circle.
The Lvov-Warsaw school and contemporary philosophy by Katarzyna Kijania-Placek Book 12 editions published in in English and held by WorldCat member libraries worldwide This collection celebrates the centenary of the Lvov-Warsaw school, established by Kazimierz Twardowski in Lvov in This school belongs to analytic philosophy and successfully worked in all branches of philosophy. The Warsaw school of logic became perhaps the most important part of Twardowski's heritage.
Lesniewski, Lukasiewicz and Tarski, leading Polish logicians, achieved results which essentially influenced the development of contemporary logic. A close connection of logic and philosophy was a typical feature of the Lvov-Warsaw school. The papers included in the collection deal with all directions of research undertaken by Polish analytic philosophers. Special attention is paid to logic and comparisons with other philosophical movements, particularly with Brentanism, which was one of the sources of the Lvov-Warsaw school.
On science, inference, information and decision-making: One considers science as a system of inferences, whereas another looks at science as a system of actions. The essays included in this collection offer a view which intends to combine both pictures.
This compromise is well illustrated by Szaniawski's analysis of statistical inferences. It is shown that traditional approaches to the foundations of statistics do not need to be regarded as conflicting with each other. Thus, statistical rules can be treated as rules of behaviour as well as rules of inference.
Szaniawski's uniform approach relies on the concept of rationality, analyzed from the point of view of decision theory. Applications of formal tools to the problem of justice and division of goods shows that the concept of rationality has a wider significance. The book will be of interest to philosophers of science, logicians, ethicists and mathematicians. In the scope of logic, methodology, and philosophy of science: The invited speakers are the leading researchers and accordingly the book presents the current state of the intellectual discourse in the respective fields.
