Lwów–Warsaw school

The Lwów–Warsaw school (Polish: Szkoła lwowsko-warszawska) was a Polish school of thought founded by Kazimierz Twardowski in 1895 in Lwów.

Although the members represented a variety of disciplines, from mathematics through logic to psychology, the School is widely considered to have been a philosophical movement.^[1] Developed in the 1920s and 1930s, the school's work was interrupted by the outbreak of World War II.

History

Kazimierz Twardowski, 1933

The Lwów–Warsaw school of logic lay at the origin of Polish logic and was closely associated with the Warsaw school of mathematics. It began as a more general philosophical school but steadily moved toward logic. In the 1930s Alfred Tarski initiated contacts with the Vienna Circle. In addition to Brentano, his pupils Anton Marty, Alexius Meinong and Edmund Husserl also considerably influenced Polish philosophy and the Lwów–Warsaw school.

Principal topics of interest to that school included formal ontology, mereology, and universal or categorial grammar.

Members

As mentioned above, many of the school's members worked in more than one field.
