Stanislaw Lesniewski (1886-1939) was one of the leading Polish
logicians and founders of the Warsaw School of Logic whose
membership included, beside himself, Jan Lukasiewicz, Tadeusz
Kotarbinski, Alfred Tarski, and many others. In his lifetime
LeSniewski published only a few hundred pages. He produced many
important results in many areas of mathematics; these stood in
various relations to each other, and to materials produced by
others, and, in time, created more and more editorial problems.
Very many were left unpublished at the time of his death. Then in
1944 in the fire of Warsaw the whole of this material was burned
and lost -a considerable loss since a great deal of what is
important could have been reconstructed from these notes. The
present publication aims at presenting unique Lesniewski's
materials from alternative sources comprising lecture notes taken
during some of Lesniewski's lectures and seminars delivered at the
University of Warsaw be tween the two world wars. The editors are
aware of the limitations of student notes which cannot compensate
for the loss of the original materials. However, they are unique in
reflecting Lesniewski's ideas as he himself presented them. Already
at the time of his death it was realized that these notes would
provide a unique access to Lesniewski's own thought as well as a
valuable record of some of the activities of the Warsaw School of
Logic."
