The aim of this book is to present and analyze philosophical
conceptions concerning mathematics and logic as formulated by
Polish logicians, mathematicians and philosophers in the 1920s and
1930s. It was a remarkable period in the history of Polish science,
in particular in the history of Polish logic and mathematics.
Therefore, it is justified to ask whether and to what extent the
development of logic and mathematics was accompanied by a
philosophical reflection. We try to answer those questions by
analyzing both works of Polish logicians and mathematicians who
have a philosophical temperament as well as their research
practice. Works and philosophical views of the following Polish
scientists will be analyzed: Waclaw Sierpinski, Zygmunt
Janiszewski, Stefan Mazurkiewicz, Stefan Banach Hugo Steinhaus,
Eustachy Zylinsk and Leon Chwistek, Jan Lukasiewicz, Zygmunt
Zawirski, Stanislaw Lesniewski, Tadeusz Kotarbinski, Kazimierz
Ajdukiewicz, Alfred Tarski, Andrzej Mostowski and Henryk Mehlberg,
Jan Sleszynski, Stanislaw Zaremba and Witold Wilkosz. To indicate
the background of scientists being active in the 1920s and 1930s we
consider in Chapter 1 some predecessors, in particular: Jan
Sniadecki, Jozef Maria Hoene-Wronski, Samuel Dickstein and Edward
Stamm.
