Roughly speaking, Polish logicians, philosophers and mathematicians mainly followed Boole’s algebraic ideas in this period. Logic as shaped by works of Gottlob Frege and Bertrand Russell became known in Poland not earlier than about 1905. The foundations for the subsequent rapid development of logic in Poland in the interwar period were laid in the years 1915–1920. The rise of Polish Mathematical School and its program (the Janiszewski program) played the crucial role in this context. Further details can be found in [8]. This paper uses the material published in [20‒24].}, doi = {10.4467/2353737XCT.14.075.2525}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/czasopismo-techniczne/artykul/the-reception-of-logic-in-poland-1870-1920} }
