Between the two world wars, Stanislaw Lesniewski (1886-1939),
created the famous and important system of foundations of
mathematics that comprises three deductive theories: Protothetic,
Ontology, and Mereology. His research started in 1914 with studies
on the general theory of sets (later named `Mereology'). Ontology
followed between 1919 and 1921, and was the next step towards an
integrated system. In order to combine these two systematically he
constructed Protothetic - the system of `first principles'.
Together they amount to what Z. Jordan called `... most thorough,
original, and philosophically significant attempt to provide a
logically secure foundation for the whole of mathematics'. The
volume collects many of the most significant commentaries on, and
contributions to, Protothetic. A Protothetic Bibliography is
included.
