History of Science and Engineering Annotation << Back POLISH PHILOSOPHY OF LOGIC AND MATHEMATICS IN THE PERIOD BETWEEN THE TWO WORLD WARS (Translation and Notes G.I. Sinkevich) R. Murawski The aim of this paper is to indicate main trends and tendencies, main standpoints and views in the philosophical refl ection on mathematics and logic in Poland between the two world wars. Why just this period? Because it was the time of intensive development of mathematics (Polish School of Mathematics) and of logic (Warsaw School of Logic, Lvov-Warsaw School of Philosophy) in Poland. Hence a natural question arises whether this development of mathematics and logic was accompanied by philosophical reflection on those disciplines, whether the researches were founded on and stimulated by certain fixed philosophical presuppositions. On the other hand philosophy of mathematics and logic is based on and uses certain results of metamathematics, of the foundations of mathematics and of logic. Did logical achievements infl uence the philosophical refl ection? Keywords: Mathematics; logic, set theory; philosophy of mathematics; philosophy of logic; constructivism; psychologism; logicism; intuitionism; formalism; Polish School of Mathematics; Warsaw School of Logic.
