The Bridge to Modern Understanding of Aristotle's Logic
Jan Lukasiewicz (1878-1956) was learned in classical languages and gifted in mathematics. He earned a permanent niche in history of logic for the book under review and for his work in the 1920s on Stoic logic recounted in the 1961 book STOIC LOGIC by Benson Mates. He also earned a permanent niche in symbolic logic for creating the parenthesis-free notation somewhat unjustly known as "Polish Notation": it should be called "Lukasiewicz notation". In mathematical logic he is known for the classic 1930 paper co-authored with his former student Alfred Tarski (1901-1983). An English translation of this paper is still in print; it is article IV of Tarski's 1956 LOGIC, SEMANTICS, METAMATHEMATICS (second ed. 1983). Tarski, who studied under Lukasiewicz, is widely regarded as one of the top five logicians to date--the others being Aristotle (384-322 BCE), Boole (1815-1864), Frege (1848-1925), and Gödel (1906-1977).
In the book under review, Lukasiewicz reconstructs Aristotle's syllogistic as a system of modern symbolic logic modeled on the 1910 Russell-Whitehead PRINCIPIA MATHEMATICA. This reconstruction inspired generations of logicians to go back and restudy their Aristotle, and it inspired generations of philosophers and classicists to go back and study their symbolic logic. There is no way to understand the historical development of interpretations of Aristotle's PRIOR ANALYTICS without reading this book. However, if your goal is to understand Aristotle's PRIOR ANALYTICS itself, read the 1989 translation and commentary by Robin Smith.

Source: Wikipedia. Free updates online. Not illustrated. Excerpt: Alfred Tarski (January 14, 1901, Warsaw, Poland, Russian Empire October 26, 1983, Berkeley, California) was a Polish logician and mathematician. Educated at the University of Warsaw and a member of the Lwow-Warsaw School of Logic and the Warsaw School of Mathematics and philosophy, he emigrated to the USA in 1939, and taught and carried out research in mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley, from 1942 until his death. A prolific author best known for his work on model theory, metamathematics, and algebraic logic, he also contributed to abstract algebra, topology, geometry, measure theory, mathematical logic, set theory, and analytic philosophy. Tarski's student Robert Vaught ranked Tarski as one of the four greatest logicians of all time, along with Aristotle, Kurt Gödel, and Gottlob Frege, although Tarski himself expressed great admiration for Charles Sanders Peirce. His biographers Anita and Solomon Feferman state that, "Along with his contemporary, Kurt Gödel, he changed the face of logic in the twentieth century, especially through his work on the concept of truth and the theory of models." Alfred Tarski was born Alfred Teitelbaum (Polish spelling: "Tajtelbaum"), to parents who were Polish Jews in comfortable circumstances. He first manifested his mathematical abilities while in secondary school, at Warsaw's Szkoa M...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=59920 ... Read more

Extrait : Stanisław Leśniewski (30 mars 1886-13 mai 1939) est un mathématicien, philosophe et logicien polonais qui a contribué à créer et développer l'École de Lvov-Varsovie. Leśniewski est l'une des plus remarquables personnalités scientifiques dans l'histoire de la logique, et appartient à la première génération de l'École de Lvov-Varsovie fondée par Kazimierz Twardowski. Avec Jan Łukasiewicz (créateur de la notation dite polonaise inverse) et Alfred Tarski, qui fut son seul docteur, il forma une troïka qui, durant les décennies 1920 et 1930 firent de Université de Varsovie l'un plus importants centres de recherche de logique mathématique au monde. Ses contributions les plus importantes furent la construction des trois systèmes formels interdépendants que sont la protothétique, l'Ontologie et la méréologie auxquels ils donna des noms d'étymologie grecque. Stanisław Leśniewski est né à Serpoukhov en Russie le 30 mars 1886. Sous la direction du philosophe polonais Kazimierz Twardowski, il présenta en 1912 une thèse de doctorat intitulée Une contribution à l'analyse des propositions existentielles, en partie dirigée contre la thèse de Brentano selon laquelle toute proposition catégorique peut être réduite à une proposition existentielle. Leśniewski s'e...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Jan Łukasiewicz (Polish pronunciation: ) (21 December 1878 - 13 February 1956) was a Polish logician and philosopher born in Lwów (Lemberg in German), Galicia, Austria-Hungary (now Lviv, Ukraine). His work centred on analytical philosophy and mathematical logic. He thought innovatively about traditional propositional logic, the principle of non-contradiction and the law of excluded middle. He grew up in Lwów and was the only child of Paweł Łukasiewicz, a captain in the Austrian army, and Leopoldina (née Holtzer), the daughter of an Austrian civil servant. His family was Roman Catholic. He finished his gymnasium studies in philology and in 1897 went on to Lwów University (University of Lemberg) where he studied philosophy and mathematics. In philosophy he was a pupil of Kazimierz Twardowski. In 1902, he received a Doctor of Philosophy degree under the patronage of emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria who gave him a special doctor ring with diamonds. He spent three years as a private teacher, and in 1905 he received a scholarship to complete his philosophical studies at the University of Berlin and the University of Louvain in Belgium. Łukasiewicz continued studying for his habilitation qualification and in 1906 submitted his thesis to the University of...http://booksllc.net/?l=de ... Read more
