(1963) Philosophy and ideology, Dordrecht, Springer.
The first distinguishing characteristic of the Warsaw School to appear, was the spectacular rise to prominence of formal and mathematical logic. This was due to Lesniewski and Lukasiewicz who jointly share the honour of being the founders of the Warsaw school. Its achievements have by now become widely known, even outside the narrow circle of professional logicians. Some of their works have been translated or rewritten in one of the world-languages, others have been competently summarised and reviewed, particularly in the columns of Journal of Symbolic Logic. The most important results have been incorporated, after the Second World War, in all contemporary textbooks of logic. There is no need, therefore, to give here another survey of its achievements. For the purpose of this study it is enough to indicate the most outstanding of them and to emphasise those of their features which were philosophically important and became a point at issue in the post-war period.
