Jan Łukasiewicz, “On Aristotle’s Principle of Contradiction” [1910]
Title: On Aristotle’s Principle of Contradiction: A Critical Study.
Author: Jan ŁUKASIEWICZ (1878–1956) [Polish logician and philosopher, founder of multi-valued logic, one of the principal founders and architects of the Lviv-Warsaw School, who introduced mathematical logic to Poland]
Publisher: Academy of Arts and Sciences, W. Osławski Publishing Fund, Kraków
Year of publication: 1910. First edition.
Volume: [4], 210, [2] pp.
Format: 20 cm.
This is Łukasiewicz’s first independent book and one of his most important early works — McCall, in his history of Polish logic, described it as the first attempt to “open up perspectives in logic comparable to those opened up in geometry by the introduction of non-Euclidean systems.” The work marked a turning point in the development of the Lviv-Warsaw School - In it, Łukasiewicz systematically challenges the assumptions of traditional Aristotelian logic for the first time, including an appendix to the dissertation with a lecture on symbolic logic based on Couturat’s textbook. This work is today considered a rarity on the international antiquarian book market.
Provenance: On the title page and subsequent pages, there are stamps reading “Philosophical Seminar of the University of Lviv” and a Cyrillic stamp reading “canceled.”
The first edition of a seminal early work by Jan Łukasiewicz, the founder of multi-valued logic—a rare item essential for historians of philosophy and formal logic.
A rarity on the market.
