Modern philosophy has benefited immensely from the intelligence and
sensitivity, the creative and critical energies, and the lucidity
of Polish scholars. Their investigations into the logical and
methodological founda- tions of mathematics, the physical and
biological sciences, ethics and esthetics, psychology, linguistics,
economics and jurisprudence, and the social sciences - all are
marked by profound and imaginative work. To the centers of
empiricist philosophy of science in Vienna, Berlin and Cambridge
during the first half of this century, one always added the great
school of analytic and methodological studies in Warsaw and Lw6w.
To the world centers of Marxist theoretical practice in Berlin,
Moscow, Paris, Rome and elsewhere, one must add the Poland of the
same era, from Ludwig Krzywicki (1859-1941) onward. (From our
preface to Wiatr [1979p. Other movements also have been distinctive
in Poland. Phenomenology was developed in the impressive school of
Roman Ingarden at Cracow, semiotics from the early work of the
philosopher and psychologist Kazimierz Twardowski at Lw6w in the
1890's, with masterful develop- ment by his disciples Kotarbinski
and Ajdukiewicz onward, conceptual foundations of physics in the
incisive methodological reflections of Marian Smoluchowski, and
mathematical logic from Jan I:.ukasiewicz and Stanislaw Lesniewski
to Tarski, Mostowski, and many others.
